Why have your rooftop solar Inspected?
Whether your rooftop solar system is at a home, on a commercial building or on a school, giving you the benefit of cheaper electricity while helping you do your bit for the planet;  it sits outside in all kinds of weather from searing hot summers to freezing cold winters and gale force winds, rain hail and shine. 
While Solar equipment is designed to be exposed to the elements; past installation practices, dodgy workmanship, faulty equipment, damage by birds and wear and tear have combined to cause multiple incidents that could have easily been avoided had the solar installation been inspected and had hazards identified and remedied before becoming an issue.
