Buying or Selling a Home With Solar? Inspect It First

No. General home inspectors explicitly exclude PV systems from their scope. Our inspection covers what they don't: actual production vs. expected, ownership status, UCC-1 filings, permits, and what it takes to transfer the system to a buyer.

A site visit plus records review: production health vs. expected output, own/lease/PPA status, a UCC-1 fixture-filing search, permit and interconnection verification, and a transfer roadmap — delivered as a clean 2-page, disclosure-ready report within 48 hours.

That's the point — you find out before listing, while there's still time to repair, re-price, or disclose cleanly, instead of in week 3 of escrow when the buyer's inspector or lender sets the narrative. Every report includes plain-English next steps. We cover all of greater Sacramento.

Absolutely — you're inheriting the system, and possibly its lease or loan. Before you waive contingencies, we verify what it actually produces, whether it's owned or encumbered, that permits are in order, and exactly what you'll need to do to take it over. No surprises after closing.
