Commercial Solar Panel Inspection
Maintaining the performance and reliability of a commercial solar system relies on regular, thorough inspections. We safeguard your investment, ensure peak efficiency and maximize the energy production of every array in your portfolio.
An in-depth review of your entire energy system.
A solar panel inspection is an in-depth review of your solar energy system to ensure all components are functioning properly. Commercial systems are significantly more complex than residential setups — more modules, higher voltages, more interconnection points — and therefore require thorough and regular checks to ensure optimal performance.
Power Checkr is the independent eye on the roof. We don't install, repair or resell hardware — so our findings answer only to you, your insurer and your CFO.
Know exactly what you're getting.
If you've ever wondered whether an OEM contract is worth it on a large commercial system — or what it even covers — you don't have to guess anymore. Here's how they compare.
OEM warranty contract
- Coverage varies by manufacturer and is often limited to specific components
- Workmanship defects may or may not be included depending on who installed it
- Claims can take weeks and typically require documentation you may not have
- Performance guarantees are based on ideal lab conditions, not your roof
- Doesn't cover wiring, racking, inverters from other brands, or installation errors
- Costs can run thousands annually — on top of what you already paid for the system
One inspection. Full picture.
- We inspect the entire system — panels, wiring, inverters, racking, and connections
- Written report in plain language — no fine print, no exclusions to decode
- Drone thermal imaging to catch hotspots and underperforming strings invisible to the eye
- Independent — we don't sell, install, or repair. No conflict of interest, ever
- You'll know what's working, what isn't, and what needs attention — right now
- Flat fee. No ongoing contract. No surprises.
Our inspection is our inspection — comprehensive, independent, and written so anyone can understand it. No guessing what's covered.
Four disciplines, one report.
Visual inspection
Module-by-module review of panels, racking and electrical balance-of-system. We document physical damage, corrosion in connectors and wiring, soiling and debris buildup, and any loose or exposed conductors that present a safety risk.
Thermal imaging & hot-spot detection
Radiometric IR drone flights pinpoint underperforming cells, failed bypass diodes and PID-affected modules. Hot-spots are flagged with GPS coordinates so your O&M crew knows exactly which module to swap.
Warranty & inspection checklist
Annual inspections are often required to maintain OEM and EPC warranties. Every visit ships with a written checklist, defect map and inspection report ready for your insurer, financier and compliance file.
Protect the asset. Protect the cash flow.
Prevent downtime & malfunctions
Catch failing inverters, soiled strings and weak connections before they cascade. Every hour of unplanned downtime is kWh you've already sold on a PPA or net-metering agreement.
Extend system lifespan
Early intervention on corrosion, micro-cracks and module wear preserves the 25-year asset you paid for and pushes replacement capex further down the road.
Maximize energy production
Clean, properly-connected, fully-functional arrays simply produce more kWh. Routine inspection is the single highest-ROI line item in any commercial O&M budget.
Meet safety & compliance standards
Texas commercial PV is subject to NEC, AHJ and insurer requirements. We verify disconnects, breakers and signage so you stay compliant — and your stakeholders stay covered.
The peace of mind of an independent inspection.
For businesses, knowing that a certified, independent technician is reviewing every aspect of your solar energy system eliminates concerns about performance issues, safety and long-term damage that could disrupt operations. You stay focused on the business — we keep the system honest.
