Get a solar damage assessment after a storm.
Storm damage can affect panels, mounting, roofing, wiring, and other equipment. Keep clear of damaged components and arrange an assessment before assuming the system can resume normal operation.
- Visible damage, displaced panels, and attachment concerns assessed
- Documented findings that can support an insurance claim
- Roof and solar scopes coordinated where the covering is compromised
Tell us what the storm did
What you can see from the ground is enough. Do not approach damaged equipment.
Storm damage can affect panels, mounting, roofing, wiring, and other equipment. Keep clear of damaged components and arrange an assessment before assuming the system can resume normal operation.
Collect records without approaching damaged equipment
Collect information from your app, documents, and safely accessible labels. Stay off the roof and leave electrical covers, connectors, and wiring to qualified professionals. Keep clear of damaged or wet equipment. For smoke, fire, or an immediate electrical hazard, move to a safe location and contact emergency services.
Save the date, safely taken photos, previous service records, and any alerts. Note roof damage and outages. A qualified provider should determine the inspection and testing needed.
If you see broken glass, displaced panels, hanging conduit, scorching, or water where electrical equipment sits, keep clear and treat it as an electrical hazard. A module can continue producing voltage while damaged, and daylight keeps DC conductors energized.
Document the repair scope
Ask for findings, affected equipment, recommended work, and a testing plan. Insurance coverage depends on the policy and claim determination; the service provider documents the work and condition.
Submit the report to the carrier rather than asking the provider to characterize coverage. A provider that tells you a claim will be approved is guessing on your behalf.
What often goes unnoticed
The damage that matters most after a storm is frequently not the damage that is visible. A displaced attachment, a compromised flashing detail, or a conductor abraded against racking can persist for months while the system reports normal production.
That is why a producing system with visible storm effects still warrants an assessment, and why the assessment looks at the mounting and roof interface rather than only at the modules.
What to look for, and what to do about it
Observe from the ground. Anything beyond a visual check belongs with a qualified provider.
| What you may see | Why it matters | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| What you may seeCracked or broken module glass | Why it mattersPotential electrical hazard and lost production | What to doKeep clear; request assessment |
| What you may seePanels visibly out of line | Why it mattersPossible attachment or racking movement | What to doPhotograph from ground; do not reseat |
| What you may seeHanging conduit or loose connectors | Why it mattersEnergized DC conductors in daylight | What to doKeep clear; treat as an electrical hazard |
| What you may seeWater staining on ceilings | Why it mattersRoof covering or flashing compromise under the array | What to doPhotograph indoors; request roof and solar review |
| What you may seeSystem offline after the storm | Why it mattersCould be utility-side, inverter, or equipment | What to doCheck utility outage status, then request service |
| What you may seeProducing normally, no visible damage | Why it mattersMechanical or roof conditions can still be affected | What to doMonitoring plus a ground-level visual check |
- Monitoring can show production while an attachment or roof detail is compromised. An app reading does not establish that the system is safe.

What Sets Us Apart
Visible damage documented before repair
Photographs and a written finding made before any repair begins are what make a claim or a warranty discussion possible afterward. Once work starts, the original condition is gone.
Attachment and racking condition
Panels can look intact while the mounting beneath them has moved. Attachment and racking condition is the part most often missed in a visual check from the ground and the most consequential in high wind.
Water intrusion coordinated with the roof
Where the roof covering under an array is compromised, the roof and solar scopes are sequenced together so the array comes off once and the roof passes inspection before reinstallation.
Electrical condition assessed safely
DC conductors remain energized in daylight. Damaged modules, loose connectors, and hanging conduit are handled by qualified professionals rather than inspected by the owner.
Findings usable by an adjuster
The report states what was observed, what was tested, and what work is proposed — the factual record a carrier needs, without the provider asserting coverage.
Honest scheduling expectations
After a regional storm, assessment demand rises sharply. Timelines are stated as they actually are rather than as a marketing promise.
How It Works
Photograph from a safe position
Take ground-level and indoor photographs where relevant. Do not approach damaged panels, loose conduit, or standing water near equipment.
Report what you can see
Send the storm date, visible damage, any alerts, roof damage, and outage history. Previous service records help establish the prior condition.
Assessment and written finding
A qualified provider determines the inspection and testing needed, then documents affected equipment, observed damage, and recommended work.
Repair and verification
Work proceeds under a written scope. Production and safety are confirmed afterward rather than assumed from equipment powering on.
Frequently Asked Questions
Treat damaged solar equipment as a potential electrical hazard and keep clear. A module can continue producing voltage while damaged, and DC conductors remain energized in daylight. Do not handle broken glass, loose connectors, or hanging conduit.
