Summer is here, and so are the leaves.
Trees that weren't affecting your solar panels a few months ago may now be casting new shade on your system. Even a little shade can impact production during some of South Carolina's sunniest months.
Take a look around your home:
• Have branches grown closer to your panels?
• Are trees creating new shade during the middle of the day?
• Has your system's production seemed lower than expected?
A little summer trimming can go a long way in helping your solar system make the most of peak sunshine season.

🐿️ This pile of microinverters didn't fail overnight.
In fact, this entire pile could have been prevented with a routine inspection.
Squirrels and other critters chewed through wiring and damaged equipment over time because the system wasn't being routinely inspected.
That's exactly why we offer our Solar Shield Maintenance Plan. Regular inspections help catch:
⚡ Damaged wiring and connectors
🐿️ Critter activity
📉 Production issues
🔍 Equipment concerns before they become costly repairs
A simple inspection today can prevent a pile of expensive replacements tomorrow.
If it's been a while since your system's last checkup, now's a good time.
Your inverter may be small, but it plays a big role in your system's performance. When it fails, your solar production can too.
Many inverter replacements are covered under manufacturer warranty, and our team can help navigate the process from diagnosis to installation.

Many Lowcountry homeowners are experiencing a different kind of "sunsetting" as solar installers exit the market and leave systems without support.
If you are dealing with a system from a company that is no longer operating, remember that the hardware on your roof still requires maintenance. We have put together a guide on how to handle warranty claims and repairs for these systems.

Microinverter failure. Small device. Big attitude. ⚡
And the tricky part? You may not notice it right away.
One panel can quietly stop performing while the rest of the system keeps producing power like nothing happened.
Sunrise is one of our favorite parts of the day, especially this time of year. With nearly 13 hours of daylight in May, your solar system has more opportunity to produce and perform.
Making sure your system is operating at optimum capacity helps you get the most out of every extra hour of sunlight.
When homeowners replace their roof, most don’t realize the solar mounting system should be part of the conversation too.
Rails, attachments, and flashing all matter long term, especially on a brand-new roof.
Not all detach & resets are handled the same way. The details underneath the panels matter too.
Solar systems are built to last, not magically maintain themselves. They still need a little check-in now and then.
Regular inspections keep things running the way they should.

Top solar questions we get every spring.
If you’re asking, you’re not alone.
