Solar Services

Accurate site surveys and proper planning are the foundation of any successful solar project. A solar site survey is one of the most critical steps in the process, and at PAPA PV, we focus on getting it right the first time.

​

Our solar survey services include on-site and remote assessments to capture precise roof measurements, system layout, shading conditions, electrical and structural details, required setbacks, and other project-specific data. When needed, we also document finish details such as paint match samples to support clean, well-coordinated installations. All information is delivered in a clear, organized, and installer-ready format to support smooth project execution.

​

Accurate site surveys help prevent design errors, inspection issues, and costly project delays. By locking in key details early, PAPA PV helps projects move forward more efficiently, supports cleaner permit submittals, and gives installers, homeowners, and project stakeholders confidence before work begins.

​

We also support solar plans and engineering coordination, working with designers and engineers to ensure plans are accurate, complete, and aligned with real-world site conditions. This service is ideal for new systems, system modifications, and DIY solar projects that require dependable data and experienced oversight.

Selecting the right materials is critical to the success of any solar project. PAPA PV provides solar materials procurement support to help ensure systems are built with the correct equipment, quantities, and components from the start.

​

Our services include the development of accurate Bills of Materials (BOMs) tailored to each project’s design, scope, and system requirements. We help identify and recommend verified suppliers and equipment options based on compatibility, availability, and project needs, reducing guesswork and avoiding shortages or last-minute substitutions.

​

A clean, well-organized BOM helps keep projects on budget, on schedule, and aligned with design and permitting requirements. By dialing in materials up front, PAPA PV supports smoother project execution, reduces waste, and helps installers, homeowners, and project stakeholders move forward with confidence.

​

This service is ideal for new installations, system upgrades, DIY solar projects, and anyone seeking an experienced review of materials before ordering or building.

Solar systems don’t always perform as expected, and identifying the root cause quickly is key to protecting performance and equipment. PAPA PV provides professional solar troubleshooting and maintenance support to help diagnose issues, restore proper operation, and maintain long-term system reliability.

​

Our troubleshooting services may include system diagnostics, production verification, monitoring setup or review, and targeted evaluation of panels, inverters, and balance-of-system components. We focus on identifying performance issues, communication faults, and system irregularities using a methodical, experience-driven approach.

​

Effective troubleshooting and routine maintenance help prevent energy loss, reduce downtime, and protect system components over time. By addressing issues early and verifying proper operation, PAPA PV helps system owners and project stakeholders maintain confidence in system performance and avoid unnecessary disruptions.

​

This service is well suited for existing solar systems, post-installation issues, system performance concerns, and ongoing maintenance support where clarity, accuracy, and practical guidance are needed.

As energy needs change and technology evolves, many solar systems require upgrades to continue performing efficiently. PAPA PV provides support for solar system upgrades and improvements to help systems adapt, expand, and operate more effectively over time.

​

Our services include guidance and evaluation for system expansions, equipment upgrades, inverter replacements, monitoring enhancements, and performance-focused improvements. We assess existing system configurations and provide recommendations based on compatibility, capacity, and long-term project goals.

​

Upgrading the right components at the right time can improve system reliability, support future expansion, and extend the usable life of a solar installation. By taking a thoughtful, project-specific approach, PAPA PV helps clients avoid unnecessary changes and focus on upgrades that deliver meaningful improvements.

​

This service is ideal for system expansions, aging equipment, changing energy demands, or projects that require experienced oversight to ensure upgrades are planned and executed correctly.

Clean panels are essential for maintaining solar system performance over time. PAPA PV provides professional solar panel cleaning and basic diagnostic support to help systems operate efficiently and reliably.

Our cleaning process uses deionized (DI) water and soft-brush methods that are safe for solar panels and glass surfaces. This approach effectively removes dirt, dust, bird droppings, and environmental buildup that can block sunlight and reduce energy production, without risking damage to system components.

​

In addition to cleaning, we perform basic system checks to help identify visible issues, performance concerns, or irregularities that may warrant further evaluation. Regular panel cleaning supports consistent energy production, helps protect panel surfaces, and contributes to longer system life.

​

By maintaining clean panels and identifying potential concerns early, PAPA PV helps system owners preserve performance, protect their investment, and achieve better long-term results from their solar systems.
