Every panel, looked at closely

A visual check of every module, with photos and plain next steps.

What does a visual inspection catch?

What a camera and a trained eye can see: cracked or chipped glass, browning, scorch marks, loose clips, chewed wiring and nests underneath. It is visual only, so electrical faults go to your installer or a licensed electrician.

How does the inspection run?

  1. Day before

    Your data first

    We pull 30 days from your app to see whether any panel or string already lags.

  2. 15 minutes

    Ground walk-around

    Every side of the array photographed with a long lens, gaps underneath included.

  3. 30 to 45 minutes

    Ladder and roof edge

    The inspection lead works row by row from the ladder and eaves, never on a module.

  4. 10 minutes

    Under the array

    Wiring, clips and the roof gap checked for chewing, nests, droppings and loose conduit.

  5. Within two business days

    Photo report

    Each finding gets a photo, a spot on a row map and a named next step.

What do we look with?

What we use

  • Long-lens cameraClose, dated photos of each row from the ground and the ladder.
  • Pole cameraA camera on an extending pole for the far rows and the gap beneath them.
  • Your production dataPanel or string readings from your app point us to modules worth a second look.
  • A row mapA simple sketch of your array, so every note points to one panel.

What we never use

  • Opened electrical partsWe do not open junction boxes, combiners or the inverter, and we test nothing live.
  • Boots on modulesNobody stands, kneels or leans on the array to get a closer look.
  • Certificates or verdictsThe report records what we saw. It is not an electrical, roofing or insurance finding.

What lands in your inbox?

  • A PDF with dated photos of every row, from above and underneath
  • Each finding marked on a row map, with a plain note on what it is
  • Who should look next: installer, electrician, roofer or insurer
  • A 30-day production snapshot from your app, with lagging panels flagged
  • A note on whether a wash would help, or can wait

Example: a Westminster hip roof in August

A two-story home in Westminster with 32 panels split across the east and west faces of a hip roof, six years old. The owner’s app showed three west-face panels trailing their neighbors since spring. On an August morning the inspection lead found pigeons nesting under the west rows, droppings across two modules and one chewed wire jacket. The report sent the wiring to the installer and the nest to a wildlife specialist.

What does an inspection cost?

  • Visual inspection$129Rooftop or ground mount, photo report and travel included
  • After hail$119Storm check: dated damage photos for your insurer or installer
  • Home sale$199Inspection plus a 12-month production summary
  • With a washIncludedEvery wash includes the glass-level check at no extra cost

Prices are indicative and confirmed from a photo or satellite view before we book. Two-story roofs and steep pitches can add $25 to $50. Every price in one place.

What do owners ask about solar inspection?

Is a visual inspection enough?

For most homes, yes, as a first look. It catches physical damage, debris, nests and loose hardware, and it checks the panels your app already shows as weak. It cannot measure voltage, insulation or hidden cell cracks; if we suspect those, we send you to the installer or an electrician.

Do you go up on the roof?

We work from the ground, a ladder and the roof edge, harnessed on anything steeper than a walkable pitch. On a walkable roof we may step beside the array to photograph a row, but nobody ever stands, kneels or leans on a module.

Will you deal with my insurer?

No. We do not file claims, judge coverage or negotiate with adjusters. We give you dated photos and plain notes that you can forward to your insurer, installer or roofer, and we are glad to answer their questions about what we saw and where.

How soon do I get the report?

Within two business days of the visit, by email from service@boostedclean.com. If we see something that should not wait, such as a shattered module, exposed wiring or a fallen conduit, we tell you on the day, before we pack up the ladder.

How often should panels be inspected?

Once a year is plenty for most home arrays, and every wash already includes a glass-level check. Book a separate inspection after hail, before you sell, or when your app shows one panel or string trailing the rest on clear days.

Is your glass ready?

Send a photo of the roof or a screenshot of your app. We reply within one business day.
