Solar Inspection in Aurora
Inspection, Aurora-Specific
If your Aurora system isn't producing what it used to — or if you've never had it checked since install — an inspection answers whether it's actually fine or whether something's hiding. A normal year-over-year drop is small. A 5%, 10%, or 20% drop isn't aging; that's something quietly failing.
In Aurora the most common findings are post-hail micro-cracks (invisible under intact-looking glass), failed or under-reporting microinverters, soiling that's worse than expected, and aging connections from thermal cycling. We use thermal imaging where it's warranted, read your inverter and monitoring directly, and give you a straight diagnosis — not a quote to replace the whole system.
What We Handle
- Production benchmarking — current output vs. what your system should produce for size + age + weather
- Inverter and microinverter health check — read the hardware directly, not just the app
- Thermal imaging on hail-suspected arrays — spots the hot spots where micro-cracks hide
- Visual + connection check — racking, conduit, junction boxes, grounding
- Written diagnosis — smallest fix that solves the problem, or 'nothing's wrong' if that's the answer
FAQs About Solar Inspection in Aurora
What Aurora homeowners ask us most often about inspection for their solar system.
-
Is Aurora really that bad for hail?
Yes — Aurora sits at the center of Colorado's hail corridor. May 8 2017 dropped baseball-sized hail across Lakewood, Aurora, and Thornton (still the costliest Colorado hail event on record at $2.3B). May 30 2024 was another baseball-sized storm hitting Aurora. If you've owned solar in Aurora more than 3-4 years, you've taken at least one significant event. -
How much does a solar inspection cost?
Most residential inspections run $250-$450 in Colorado, depending on system size and what's needed. Visual only is the low end; thermal imaging or electroluminescence testing the higher. If we end up doing repair work afterward, the inspection cost often rolls into the bigger job. -
How do I know if my panels are actually working right or just looking like they are?
That's what an inspection answers. We compare your current production to what your system should be producing for its size, age, and the weather during the period. A normal year-over-year drop is small — half a percent. A 5%, 10%, or 20% drop isn't aging; that's something hiding. We find what. -
What Aurora neighborhoods do you cover?
All of it — Saddle Rock, Tallyn's Reach, Murphy Creek, Southlands, Heather Gardens, original Aurora west, and the newer subdivisions east toward DIA. -
My installer's out of business — Titan, Pink Energy, ADT, Sunnova. Can you still service?
Yes. We service every brand and every installation, including orphaned systems. Your panel and inverter manufacturer warranties usually still hold even if the installer is gone — we pick up the service side and help with whatever RMA paperwork is needed.
