Own

Owning solar is the long, quiet stretch after the install crew leaves — years of mostly looking after itself, punctuated by a few moments that matter: a production dip, a warranty question, an insurance renewal, an eventual home sale. This branch covers what those moments ask of you, so none of them catch you unprepared.

What this branch covers

• Maintenance — the small routine that keeps production up: cleaning, inspection cadence, and what wears out (the inverter, eventually).
• Monitoring — reading your system’s dashboard so a problem shows up as a number before it shows up as a failure.
• Repair & Troubleshooting — the simple checks worth doing yourself, the one reset worth knowing, and exactly where to stop and call a pro.
• Insurance & Warranty — two different safety nets, what each covers, and which to reach for when.
• Selling a Home with Solar — how owned and leased systems play out very differently when you sell.

A couple of threads run through all of it. First, ownership structure shapes nearly everything downstream — what’s insured, what transfers, what a system adds at resale. Second, there’s a consistent line between owner-safe tasks (looking, cleaning from the ground, reading the app) and the high-voltage electrical work that belongs with a qualified professional. Knowing where that line sits is most of what good ownership requires.
