Longevity Assessment
Estimated remaining lifespan of panels and inverter, plus battery capacity and efficiency review if applicable.
When Should You Get a Solar Inspection?
- Buying or selling a home with an existing solar system
- Unusually high energy bills despite having solar panels installed
- Uncertain about system performance and want a professional assessment
- Confirming remaining system life and impact on property value
What a Solar Panel Inspection Evaluates
A solar energy system represents a significant investment — often $15,000-$40,000 — and buyers who inherit a solar system need to know whether it is performing as expected. Noble's solar inspection evaluates the physical condition, electrical connections, and system performance of photovoltaic and solar thermal installations.
- Panel condition — cracking, delamination, discoloration, and soiling
- Mounting hardware — rail corrosion, fastener integrity, and roof penetration sealing
- Inverter condition, error codes, and production monitoring data
- Electrical connections — wiring condition, conduit integrity, and rapid shutdown compliance
- Utility interconnection and net metering setup documentation
Noble solar inspections include a review of available production monitoring data to compare actual output against expected output based on system size and local solar resource. Significant underperformance often indicates shading issues, panel failure, or inverter problems that should be addressed before the sale closes.
Noble solar inspections are available as a standalone service or combined with a full home inspection for buyers of solar-equipped properties. Inspections include a physical assessment of panels, mounting, inverter, and electrical connections, plus a review of available production monitoring data.
