Common Solar Issues in Burbank, CA

Burbank is a popular area for solar homes, but most of these installations date back to the mid-to-late-2000s. This means your solar array is likely aging and needs maintenance and small repairs to keep producing as much electricity as possible.

In the Burbank area, you also have to account for solar panels being exposed to heavy particles from LA’s pollution. Local wildlife, smoke from wildfires, pollen from nearby trees and dust from the Verdugo Mountains can form a thin film on your panels and require frequent cleaning.

With the right maintenance plan in place, these factors are easy to manage and your solar panels will keep producing plenty of electricity.

Great service! I had a failure in my solar system and Solar Service was the company that was doing the warranty work. Eduardo was the technician and was on time, professional and worked to get it all fixed right away. Can't recommend enough.

Incredible. Not only was Luis on time, professional, and a great guy, he was able to explain what upgrades were available for my double-system (for a duplex) and what electrical requirements would be needed. His diagnostic check of the existing systems was meticulous, detailed and informative. 110% recommended!

Burbank Permit Resources

If you need to replace old panels with new ones or need to have some electrical work done on your solar system, you’ll need to apply for a permit via the City of Burbank. In many cases, small solar repairs don’t require a permit.

The City has an online platform that issues instant permits for solar and battery installations.

For commercial and multifamily projects, as well as residential solar projects that exceed 38.4kW, you’ll have to go through a traditional review process.

If you have questions about this process, you can contact the city’s Building Permits Department at 818-238-5220.

A licensed solar installer can navigate this process and apply for a permit on your behalf.

Before hiring a contractor, ensure they hold a valid license. Use the California Department of Consumer Affairs Contractors State License Board’s online lookup tool to check their license information. For instance, if you look up Solar Service Professionals, you’ll find our license number (1051284).

Burbank Water and Power

Burbank Water and Power is your local energy provider. The public utility has a net metering programavailable for solar homes:

The net metering program allows you to earn energy credits when your solar system is running and uploading power to the grid.

You can then redeem these credits and use energy from the grid.

You’ll need to meet a few requirements to sign up for solar net metering, including having an inverter that can upload power to the grid. We can help you upgrade your inverter to meet this requirement.

You can call the utility at 818-238-3700 if you have questions about the program.

Frequently Asked Questions

You can verify a solar contractor’s license through the
California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) online lookup tool. Just enter the company name or license number to confirm that it’s active and in good standing.

Yes, smoke and ash from wildfires can create a thin film on your panels that reduces their efficiency by blocking sunlight. After heavy smoke events, scheduling a professional cleaning helps restore your system’s output.

Because Burbank gets dust from the Verdugo Mountains, urban pollutants, and seasonal pollen, most solar systems benefit from professional cleanings two to four times a year. Regular cleaning keeps your panels producing power at peak capacity and extends their lifespan.

Most solar inverters last 10 to 15 years, depending on the model and maintenance. Since panels often last 25 years or more, plan to replace or upgrade your inverter mid-way through your system’s lifespan.

Microcracks can be hard to spot without thermal imaging, but signs include sudden drops in energy production, visible hairline fractures on the glass, or browning and hot spots on affected cells. Our technicians can diagnose and repair panels before damage worsens.

Burbank Water and Power offers a net metering program that credits you for surplus power your system sends to the grid. These credits offset your electricity use when your panels aren’t producing energy.

Minor repairs usually don’t need a permit, but panel replacements, inverter swaps, or electrical work might. You can apply for permits through Burbank’s online solar permit system. Your installer can handle the process for you.
