Solar was sold as “set it and forget it.” The reality? It’s a power plant on your roof.
In this episode, I sit down with James Callindes, Solar Maintenance Manager at Marcor Solar, and Greg Sachs of Solar Exchange to break down the truth about solar monitoring and maintenance for both residential and commercial systems. From panel cleaning and critter guards to electrical inspections and production monitoring, we explain why solar systems require ongoing attention to protect the investment homeowners and property owners have made. 🎙️☀️
We talk about the most common issues we see in the field: squirrels nesting under arrays, wiring loosened by thermal expansion, snow and ice affecting production, and homeowners unknowingly running systems that have been partially offline for months. Monitoring apps help, but they don’t tell the whole story. That’s why proactive monitoring, inspections, and maintenance programs are essential to make sure your system is producing what it was designed to.
We also dive into the commercial side of solar, where downtime can mean thousands of dollars lost in a single day. From walking large rooftop arrays and checking conduit expansion to thermal imaging and electrical torque inspections, proper maintenance can prevent catastrophic failures and protect large-scale solar investments.
Welcome to Episode 29 of Marcor Studios.
Because solar works best when someone’s watching it.
