The Growing Problem of Abandoned Solar Systems

Unfortunately, the number of abandoned solar systems in Florida is rising rapidly. We find that 90% of our service inquiries are from customers needing support because their original installer no longer exists. Hence the term “Abandoned System.”

An abandoned solar array refers to a system that has been left unmaintained and non-functional, often due to a defunct installer or missing system documentation. If you’ve bought a property with existing solar, but the previous owner didn’t provide any information—or the installer is unreachable—Shield Your Solar is the trusted service provider to restore, maintain, and optimize your system.

SERVICE FAQ

Get some of your solar maintenance questions answered now.

Signs that your solar system might require repairs include:

  • A noticeable decrease in energy production.
  • Fault codes or alerts from the inverter.
  • Visible damage to panels, wiring, or other components.
  • Increased system downtime.

Using a monitoring system can provide real-time data and alert you when energy production drops below expected levels, helping you identify when maintenance or repairs are needed

Yes, although both residential and commercial solar systems benefit from regular maintenance, commercial systems generally require more frequent and specialized operations and maintenance (O&M) services. This is due to their larger size and more complex configurations. Additionally, commercial systems may include components such as energy storage units, which need specialized care and attention.

Routine O&M services include system performance monitoring, cleaning of solar panels to remove dirt and debris, inspecting electrical connections, checking for any physical damage, and evaluating inverter performance. These preventive maintenance tasks are designed to optimize system efficiency and prevent issues that could lead to unexpected downtime.

Yes, Shield Your Solar offers comprehensive O&M services for both residential and commercial solar systems.
