Monitoring
Performance monitoring. Know before you lose money.
Most solar systems lose 5-15 percent of their output silently for years before anyone notices. Our monitoring service watches your production every day, compares it to expected output for your panels and weather, and pings you when something's off. Catch a failed inverter in week one, not month nine.
What's included in this service?
- Daily automated production check vs. weather-adjusted baseline
- Module-level review where Enphase or SolarEdge is installed
- Email or SMS alert when production drops 10 percent below expected
- Quarterly written report with trend graph and recommendation
- Integration with your existing monitoring portal, no new hardware
- Annual owner-friendly summary with kWh and dollar value
When do you need this service?
- You don't check your monitoring portal regularly
- You're losing track of production season-over-season
- Vacation rental, second home, or commercial property
- Module-level monitoring is installed but never reviewed
- You've had unexplained production drops in the past
What do homeowners ask about Monitoring?
Do I need new equipment?
No. We use the monitoring data your inverter is already producing, Enphase Enlighten, SolarEdge mySolarEdge, SMA Sunny Portal, or whatever you have. You grant us viewer access, we do the rest.
What if I don't have monitoring at all?
If your system is more than 10 years old it might not have remote monitoring. We can install a third-party CT-based monitor on the inverter output for $300-$450 plus the monthly fee.
Will you act on alerts for me?
We can. The standard monitoring plan is alert-only. The maintenance plan includes diagnostic dispatch on alerts that look serious.
Service area
Where do we offer Monitoring in San Diego County?
We provide monitoring in every city and community in San Diego County. Pick your city for local climate notes and service specifics.
Central Monitoring in San Diego San Diego solar cleaning cadence varies sharply by neighborhood. Coastal blocks in Point Loma, Ocean Beach, and Sunset Cliffs need quarterly cleaning for salt and bird buildup. Inland Sorrento Valley and Carmel Valley arrays run semi-annual on traffic film and pollen. Downtown high-rise commercial arrays need quarterly to handle traffic hydrocarbon film off the I-5 and SR-163 corridors.
North Coastal Monitoring in Oceanside Oceanside solar cleaning splits between coastal salt-driven quarterly work on the South O, Fire Mountain, and downtown harbor blocks, and inland semi-annual cadence on the Rancho Del Oro, Morro Hills, and Ocean Hills master-planned tracts. Military rental property cycling through Camp Pendleton drives a separate landlord-coordinated workflow.
North Coastal Monitoring in Carlsbad Carlsbad has one of the densest residential solar adoption rates in San Diego County. La Costa, Aviara, Bressi Ranch, and Calavera Hills master-planned communities went solar heavily during the 2017-2021 wave. Quarterly cleaning on Carlsbad Village beach blocks; semi-annual on the inland HOA communities.
North County Inland Monitoring in Escondido Escondido is one of the hottest residential areas in San Diego County. 100-110°F summers, agricultural particulate drift from surrounding avocado groves and citrus orchards, and SDG&E PSPS shutoff exposure drive quarterly cleaning as the working baseline. High residential solar adoption density across Hidden Meadows-adjacent and South Escondido tracts.
East County Monitoring in El Cajon El Cajon is one of the hottest residential zones in San Diego County. 100-115°F summers, hard-water sprinkler overspray on aging tract stock, I-8 corridor traffic film, and post-fire ash from East County wildfire events drive quarterly cleaning as the working baseline. Arrays here lose production fast without consistent cadence.
South County Monitoring in Chula Vista Chula Vista has extremely high new-construction solar adoption density in the Otay Ranch, EastLake, and Rancho del Rey master-planned communities. Layered film from coastal salt to the west and Otay Mesa industrial dust to the east drives quarterly cleaning as the working baseline. Largest residential solar inventory in South County.
Coastal Monitoring in La Jolla La Jolla cliff-side and ocean-view homes pick up the heaviest salt film and bird droppings of any coastal zone we cover. Quarterly cleaning is the working baseline here, semi-annual on the inland edges, every three months within a half-mile of the cove.
Central Monitoring in Scripps Ranch Scripps Ranch has one of the densest residential solar adoption rates in San Diego County, the affluent master-planned community had a major rooftop solar wave from 2014-2020, and most of those arrays are now in the cleaning-cadence-matters window where neglected systems are showing 15-25% production loss.
