Ask how existing installations are evaluated
If the original installer is unavailable, ask whether the service company can assess that equipment and obtain the access needed for diagnostics. Manufacturer compatibility, available records, site conditions, and monitoring permissions can affect the scope. Do not assume a new service provider inherits the original installer’s workmanship warranty.
Clarify the diagnostic and repair process
What does the initial diagnostic visit include?
How will findings and recommendations be explained?
When will you receive the repair proposal?
Are equipment, labor, shipping, permits, and follow-up visits included?
A recommendation should explain the evidence behind the proposed repair.
Consider future battery and system upgrades
A service visit can also help identify questions for a future retrofit. Battery backup requires a review of existing solar compatibility, essential loads, transfer equipment, and outage operation. Adding panels or replacing an inverter may require a separate design and approval process. Ask for a written scope tailored to the property.
Local conditions deserve attention
Charleston-area properties can have different roof conditions, exposure, shading, and electrical layouts. Share your storm and maintenance history with the technician. Keep troubleshooting at ground level: do not climb onto the roof, open electrical equipment, or bypass protective devices.
