Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Solar Care.

About Solar Care

What is Solar Care?

Solar Care is our membership program for ongoing solar system maintenance and monitoring. Instead of waiting for something to break, we proactively inspect, monitor, and maintain your system so it performs at its best year-round.

Do I need Solar Care if my system is brand new?

Yes — even new systems benefit from monitoring and professional inspections. Early detection of installation issues, firmware updates, and warranty documentation are especially valuable in the first few years.

Do you service systems you didn't install?

Absolutely. We service all major brands and system types regardless of who installed them. We'll do a thorough initial assessment during your first visit.

Pricing & Plans

How is pricing calculated?

Pricing is based on your system's complexity — panel count, number of inverters, battery storage capacity, and generator integration. The prices on our plans page are starting prices for small, simple systems. After you submit your system details, we'll confirm exact pricing.

Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?

You can upgrade at any time — we'll prorate the difference. Downgrades take effect at your next renewal. Many customers start with Essential and upgrade to Protect once they see the value of monitoring.

Is there a contract or commitment?

Solar Care plans are annual memberships. You can cancel at renewal with no penalty. We believe the value speaks for itself.

Service Visits

What happens during a service visit?

Our technician performs a full inspection: panel cleaning, wiring check, inverter diagnostics, production review, and (for Assure members) battery health and generator testing. You receive a detailed photo report afterward.

Do I need to be home?

For most exterior work, no. If we need indoor access (e.g., to check an inverter or battery bank inside), we'll coordinate a time that works for you.

What if I need help between scheduled visits?

All members can submit issues through the portal anytime. Protect and Assure members get priority scheduling. Assure members also have waived diagnostic fees for unscheduled visits.

Monitoring & Portal

What is Watt Tower?

Watt Tower is our monitoring platform. Protect and Assure members get access to a personalized dashboard that tracks system production, sends alerts for issues, and lets you submit service requests.

Will monitoring work with my existing equipment?

Watt Tower works with most major inverter brands that have internet connectivity. We'll confirm compatibility during your initial system assessment.
