For sellers & pre-listing
Find it before the buyer's inspector does
Solar problems discovered during a buyer's inspection period cost more than the repair. They cost leverage. A pre-listing inspection puts the timing back on your side.
Same finding, two very different conversations
- Found before listing
- You choose the contractor, you choose the timing, and you decide whether to repair, price it in, or disclose it.
- Found in escrow
- It arrives as a Request for Repairs, on the buyer's timeline, with your closing date as leverage.
- Not found at all
- It becomes the new owner's problem, and potentially a conversation about what you knew.
Everything is cheaper before the market sees it
The same finding costs a fraction to resolve as preparation, and a renegotiation once a buyer's inspector surfaces it.

Buyer's inspection
Confirms what you already knew. No surprise, no renegotiation.
A condition found during escrow is a price negotiation. The same condition found before listing is just a decision.
Common questions
Why inspect before listing?
Because the alternative is finding out during the buyer's inspection period, when it becomes a Request for Repairs and a price conversation instead of something you handled on your own schedule.
Do I have to disclose what you find?
California disclosure obligations are yours and, where it matters, your attorney's. We don't complete disclosures or advise on how to answer them. What we do is make sure you know the actual condition of the system.
What if my system has a problem?
Then you know about it before a buyer does, and you can decide whether to fix it, price it in, or disclose it. All three are better than being surprised.
I've lost the original paperwork.
Common, and usually solvable. That's what Solar Transaction Support is for — a separate service that tracks down what exists and identifies which party holds it.
Working a weekend transaction? So are we
The office is open Monday–Friday 9am–6pm, but inspections run on weekends and requests are open around the clock. We'll call to confirm the date and time.
Requesting an inspection isn't a confirmed appointment — we'll contact you to confirm timing.
