Diagnostic from $189 · repairs quoted flat-rate up front. Pricing is the same across San Diego County, with no mileage upcharge for Lakeside. We confirm a flat per-panel quote before any work starts.
How does Lakeside's climate affect this service?
Lakeside is rural East County ranch and equestrian-property territory. 100-110°F summers, 2003 Cedar Fire and 2007 Witch Fire burn zone history driving post-fire ash emergency cleanings, and SDG&E PSPS shutoff exposure on the Wildcat Canyon-adjacent properties. Quarterly cleaning is the working baseline.. East County emergency response covers fire-season damage, summer-heat inverter failure, and the occasional rodent-chew ground fault.
What's an actual emergency?
Smoke, burning smell, sparks, or any sign of fire risk, call immediately and shut off the AC disconnect if you can do so safely. Zero production for 24+ hours is also urgent because most issues compound. A panel with a broken backsheet in the rain is also urgent.
Do you stock replacement inverters?
We stock the most common Enphase IQ7 and IQ8 micro-inverters and the SolarEdge HD-Wave string inverters in the 5-7.6 kW range. Less common units (SMA, Fronius, off-brand) are usually 2-5 days on order.
