Arizona is hard on rooftop solar — dust, monsoon, 115° heat cycling, and birds. SolarCare puts a licensed technician on your roof twice a year so the system stays producing, the roof stays sealed, and problems get caught while they are still small. $500 a year, billed $250 every six months.
We respond within 1 business hour.
A solar system has no moving parts, which is why most people never think about it — until the bill arrives and the savings have quietly gone. In Arizona the things that erode production are slow and invisible from the ground: a film of dust that builds through spring and cuts output by the time you need it most, connectors that loosen through thousands of 60-degree daily heat swings, sealant on roof penetrations that gives up a little more every summer.
Then monsoon arrives and tests all of it at once. Water finds the mount that was never re-sealed. Wind finds the wire a bird pulled loose. And a system that has not been tested in two years may already have been underproducing long before any of that happened.
None of this is dramatic. It is just expensive when it goes unchecked, and cheap when it does not. SolarCare is the version where it does not.
Two scheduled visits a year — typically one ahead of monsoon season and one after it. Each one covers four things.
We measure what the system is actually producing and compare it to what it should produce for the season and the size of the array. A system can be “working” and still be down 15% — a failed optimizer, a string out, a dirty array — and the only way to know is to measure it. You get the number in writing, visit over visit, so a decline shows up as a trend before it becomes a failure.
Panels, wiring, connectors, inverter, disconnects, mounting hardware — the same $299 inspection we sell on its own, written up and sent to you. It is the document that matters when you sell the house, when an installer’s warranty question comes up, or when something does eventually fail and you want to know whether it was sudden or had been coming for a year.
Arizona dust is not cosmetic. A spring of haboobs followed by a dry summer leaves a film on the glass that measurably cuts output right when the sun is strongest and your bill is highest. Rain does not fix it — monsoon rain on dusty glass leaves mud. We clean the array properly at each visit, and because we have just measured production, you see the difference in numbers rather than taking our word for it.
This is the part nobody else’s maintenance plan includes, and it is the part that saves the most money. Every solar array is attached through dozens of penetrations in your roof, and each one is sealed with material that Arizona sun is slowly destroying. We check every mount, every flashing and the tile or shingle around the array, and we tell you in writing what we found. As an Arizona Roofing Contractors Association board member, we know what a failing penetration looks like two summers before it leaks into the house.
The visits keep the system healthy. These are for when something goes wrong anyway.
Members go to the front of the queue for any service. After a monsoon event, when the whole valley is calling at once, that is the difference between days and weeks.
System down? Something wrong on the roof? A technician is on site within 48 hours. In a July heat wave, a dead system costs real money every day it waits.
Repairs, bird guard, monitoring, an extra cleaning, a detach & reset when you re-roof. Any additional service, 10% off the standard price.
Billed automatically, renewed automatically, visits scheduled automatically. We book it, remind you, and show up.
The arithmetic is straightforward. Our standalone inspection is $299, so two of them at list is $598 — already more than the plan. SolarCare is $500 and adds the cleaning, the roof inspection, priority scheduling, emergency response and the 10% discount on top. Most members recover the difference on the first repair the discount applies to.
Not sure the plan fits your situation — a lease, a commercial array, a system under a manufacturer dispute? Call (480) 270-2745 and we will tell you straight.
Between visits, the Vue monitor watches production every second and alerts you the day it drops. Members get it 10% off.
When a visit finds something, we quote it, you approve it, members pay 10% less.
The most common thing a first visit finds on an Arizona tile roof. Permanent fix, 10-Year No-Bird Guarantee.
