Solar Repair & Maintenance in Beverly Hills, CA

Like many California homeowners, you probably got your solar system in the mid-to-late 2000s when the state was experiencing a solar boom. This means your solar array is now aging and might not be producing as much electricity as it used to.

The local weather is ideal for energy production, with plenty of sun exposure, but Beverly Hills’ proximity to Los Angeles and the ocean can create conditions that harm your solar panels if you’re not careful.

Between saline spray from the ocean, pollen from Griffith Park or the parks to the west, and pollution from the city, particles can build up and form deposits on your panels. You also have to worry about local wildlife nesting under panels and damaging electrical components, as well as soot and smoke from wildfires affecting your solar array.

The good news is that all these issues are easy to address with regular maintenance.

If you’re planning on installing solar panels or need to have some extensive electrical work done to your solar array, you’ll need a permit from the City of Santa Clarita. Small repairs typically don’t need a permit.

While small solar repairs and regular maintenance don’t require a permit, you’ll have to get a permit through the City of Bervelly Hills if you’re planning a new installation or major upgrade (like adding a battery to your solar array).
