The Importance of Solar Monitoring: A Cautionary Tale from Your Trusted Fresno Solar Company

As a leading solar panel company in Fresno and Palm Desert, California, Supreme Solar & Electric takes immense pride in ensuring our clients are well-informed about the ins and outs of their solar energy systems. Today, we’d like to share a cautionary tale that underscores the importance of solar monitoring.

The Unfortunate Story of a Lost Year

Recently, a client reached out to us with a concerning situation. They had just received a massive true-up bill from their utility company and were shocked to learn that their solar system had been offline for an entire year. They had originally gone with a different solar panel installer, who had evidently not equipped them with adequate monitoring capabilities.
Confused and alarmed, they turned to us, a trusted Fresno Solar Company, to diagnose and rectify the issue. Upon inspection, we discovered that their inverter had shut down due to an error, leaving their solar system non-operational. As a result, they had missed out on a full year of solar energy production.

The Value of Solar Service Calls

After the client reached out to us, we immediately scheduled a solar service call. This is when we found out that the inverter had encountered an error and shut down. Our technicians were able to troubleshoot the issue effectively and even got the system warrantied by the manufacturer. Yet, despite our best efforts to restore their solar power, an entire year’s worth of solar credits had been lost.

Why Solar Monitoring is Critical

While we were able to solve the immediate problem for our client, the lost year of electricity production serves as a critical reminder of the importance of solar monitoring. Most high-quality solar panel installation services, like those offered by Supreme Solar & Electric, come with solar monitoring systems that keep tabs on your energy production.

Real-Time Updates and Alerts

These monitoring systems are designed to notify you and your contractor if something goes wrong. Notifications can go directly to your smartphone, allowing you to keep an eye on the system in real-time. Whether you’re at home or halfway across the world, these updates empower you to be proactive, ensuring that your investment in renewable energy is protected.

Quick Action, Better Savings

Imagine the cost-saving difference if our client had monitoring enabled on their phone. They would have been notified the moment their solar panel system encountered an issue. They could have then scheduled a solar service call immediately, potentially solving the problem before losing out on any significant amount of solar energy production and savings.

Supreme Solar & Electric: Your Premier Solar Panel Company

We understand that solar panel installation is a significant investment, both financially and for the future of our planet. That’s why Supreme Solar & Electric offers top-tier solar installation along with robust monitoring services. When you opt for our solar panel installation services, you’re not just getting a team of experienced solar panel installers; you’re also getting peace of mind.

Questions? We Are Here for You

If you have questions about solar monitoring, or if you’re just getting started on your journey towards renewable energy, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Don’t let what happened to our unfortunate client happen to you. Get the most out of your solar energy system by making sure it’s monitored and maintained by professionals.

Conclusion

To sum it up, a monitoring system serves as your solar energy system’s watchdog. It’s your first line of defense against unexpected shutdowns and a powerful tool for optimizing energy production and savings. If our client’s story teaches us anything, it’s that the small step of enabling solar monitoring can make a world of difference in both the efficiency and effectiveness of your solar power system.
If you’re in Fresno or Palm Desert and you’re looking for a reliable solar panel company, look no further than Supreme Solar & Electric.

Testimonials

Mohamed and Steve were amazing! They were able to squeeze in an appointment to install my Tesla wall charger and they did an amazing job. Highly recommend!
Brad Glenn

I referred many of my friend and family over to Mohamed throughout the years. He has always taken great care of them and delivered a great experience. Highly recommend him and his team.
Travis Russell

It has been a pleasure working with Supreme Solar. We had great conversations prior to proceeding with them and everything was explained, and we knew what to expect when everything was finished. Everything turned out perfect and I couldn’t be happier with the service that was provided. Highly recommend. Thanks again Supreme Solar!
Josh Reiter

Very professional team. I’m very pleased with the service. Felt very comfortable asking any questions and Mohamed made it very easy to understand. Definitely way better experience than my previous solar company.
Ana Jaymalin

I was in the solar business for years before accepting a position as an Energy Manager for a Native Tribe. I still receive inquiries from friends, family, and former customers to advise them on going solar. I have worked with a handful of companies, and Supreme is the best. While they are smaller than other companies, that works in their favor.
Jeremy Roos

Supreme Solar & Electric is simply fantastic! They were professional and swift in installing our new solar panels. Their service was top quality, they communicated clearly about what to expect, and left our home spotlessly clean. Now we’re enjoying the benefits of solar energy. Highly recommended!
