Solar (PV) System Inspection Add-On – $50
Considering a home with solar panels already installed? Don’t let the system’s condition and performance remain a mystery. Bledsoe Home Inspections now offers a Solar (PV) System Inspection as a convenient add-on to any standard home inspection, giving buyers and homeowners a clear picture of what they’re getting before the deal closes.
For just $50, our inspector will conduct a visual and functional assessment of the solar array, focusing on two things that matter most: production and condition. We’ll examine the panels for physical damage, cracking, discoloration, or signs of wear, and check mounting hardware and racking for secure attachment and proper installation. The inspection also covers visible wiring, conduit, and connection points for exposed or damaged components, as well as the inverter and disconnect switches for correct operation and any error indicators.
Just as important, we’ll document the system’s current production output where accessible, comparing it against panel age and manufacturer specifications to flag any signs of underperformance. This helps you understand whether the system is operating efficiently or if it may be nearing the end of its productive lifespan.
At the end of the inspection, you’ll receive a straightforward summary highlighting any deficiencies, safety concerns, or maintenance needs, along with photos documenting the system’s overall condition. This isn’t a substitute for a certified solar technician’s in-depth electrical evaluation, but it gives you valuable, actionable insight before making one of the biggest purchases of your life.
