Solar Maintenance
Routine maintenance for your solar system is crucial to ensure its efficiency, longevity, and safety. Regular checks help identify and resolve issues like dirt, debris, or shading that can reduce energy output. Maintenance also ensures that components like inverters and wiring remain in good working condition, preventing costly repairs or replacements. Additionally, keeping your system in top shape maximizes your return on investment, ensuring consistent energy production and reducing your reliance on external power sources. Check out our three levels of service, each includes one cleaning per year!
Warranty Work
When your solar contractor goes out of business, the impact on your solar warranty can vary depending on the type of warranties involved. Manufacturer warranties for the panels, inverters, and other components typically remain intact, as they are backed by the manufacturers, not the installer. However, the workmanship warranty, which covers the installation quality and related issues, may become void if the contractor is no longer in operation. In such cases, you may need to find another qualified installer for repairs or maintenance, but any costs incurred may not be covered by the original workmanship warranty.
Solar Panel Cleaning
Properly cleaning your solar panels on a routine basis is essential for maintaining their efficiency and maximizing energy production. Dust, dirt, bird droppings, and other debris can accumulate on the surface, reducing the amount of sunlight reaching the panels and decreasing their output. Regular cleaning ensures that your system operates at peak performance, extending its lifespan and providing a better return on investment. Clean panels also help prevent potential damage and the need for costly repairs over time.
Attic Runs
Running your solar wiring through the attic offers several advantages over surface mounting on the roof. It provides better protection against environmental factors like UV rays, rain, and wind, which can degrade the wiring over time. This method also reduces the risk of accidental damage during maintenance or roof repairs. Additionally, hiding the wiring inside the attic improves the overall aesthetic of your home by keeping cables out of sight, leading to a cleaner and more professional installation. Solar Repair and Maintenance can remove that unsightly metal conduit from your roof and give you the nice clean look you should have gotten in the first place!
Re-Roofing Removal
Hiring a solar professional to remove and replace your system when getting a new roof is crucial for protecting your investment and ensuring proper installation. Solar panels are complex and delicate, requiring specialized knowledge to handle without causing damage. A professional ensures that the panels, wiring, and mounting hardware are carefully removed and reinstalled, maintaining system efficiency and safety. Additionally, they can coordinate with your roofing contractor to ensure a seamless process, preventing potential issues like leaks or misalignment.
Critter Guard Installation
Bird exclusion for your solar panels is essential to protect them from damage and maintain optimal performance. Birds nesting under panels can lead to droppings, debris, and feathers accumulating, which can block sunlight and reduce energy efficiency. Additionally, nests can damage wiring and other components, leading to costly repairs. Implementing bird exclusion measures, like mesh or netting, helps prevent these issues, ensuring your solar panels operate effectively and last longer, ultimately safeguarding your investment. Solar Repair and Maintenance can install critter guards that will prevent nesting under your panels and discourage birds from gathering. Call for a free estimate!

Was looking for a critter guard installation to remove some pesky pigeons from the roof. Came by, provided a quote, and was super nice. Great value overall, I would definitely recommend it to fellow solar panel owners. Quick to reply, no messing around, overall super satisfied with the result. Thank you, R&M Solar,
Lozalalo L.Yelp! Review
Chris and his team are top notch! They recently removed and replaced the solar panels on my home, so a new roof could be installed. They made it easy to schedule, arrived when they said they would and even worked around my little one's nap schedule! I'm now on their monthly plan and appreciate having such a professional local company to work with for my solar maintenance. Give them a call!

Jimmy R.Angi Review
I just had their company come out and help me with a quote for a whole home battery back up. I’m really excited to work with these guys, they’re very straightforward, transparent and honest. It’s a night day difference from some of the other companies.
Gregory BurnettGoogle Review
If you have solar panels on your house, I suggest that you call this company right away because they’re getting very busy and their maintenance agreement, which is extremely affordable covers one cleaning a year, monitoring of the system to catch any problem before it becomes critical and you will receive a discounted rate for service if you need it in the future. I never realized after 15 years that it should be cleaned once a year and maintained, bad on me but that was something my husband Patrick took care of.
P.J. DegrossGoogle Review
I couldn’t be happier with the service from Chris at Solar Repair and Maintenance! He installed bird netting around my solar panels to prevent nesting, and I’ve noticed a huge difference. Not only did he take care of that, but he also cleaned my panels to perfection – they’re absolutely spotless!
