When you invested in solar for your home, you probably had a clear picture: decades of clean energy, lowered utility bills, and a step toward energy independence.
You didn’t expect your installer to go out of business and leave you with a system you may not fully understand, no solution for solar system maintenance, and costly repairs staring you in the face.
Unfortunately, this story is becoming all too common. As the solar industry experiences rapid growth, hundreds of solar companies have closed their doors, leaving thousands of homeowners stranded with nowhere to turn when issues arise. California alone has more than 800,000 solar systems affected by out-of-business solar installers.
But there’s good news, and a powerful solution, backed by the largest insurance company in the nation.
Enter: SolarDetect by Solar Insure.

Real Homeowners, Real Problems
We hear stories like this every day:
“We thought we were set for decades… until our installer went out of business. Then came the system errors. No one to call. A broken inverter. A $1,000 repair estimate… we were overwhelmed.”
SolarDetect was built to solve exactly these kinds of problems, turning confusion and stress into clarity and support.
Here’s the problem: even though solar panels and inverters carry 12-25-year manufacturer warranties, those warranties don’t cover labor. Your installer may have provided a workmanship warranty, which may or may not include some labor coverage, but if they’re no longer around, it won’t do you much good.
Neither of these warranties does anything to monitor your system proactively, and that’s where SolarDetect is different.

Why SolarDetect?
When your car has problems, you go to a qualified mechanic; when you aren’t feeling well, you go to the doctor. We trust every other aspect of our lives to professionals, and your solar system should be no different.
When issues arise with solar equipment and you don’t have an installer to service the system, you could spend hours trying to get in touch with a manufacturer to replace parts. If you’re able to get the new part, you then need to find a contractor willing to make the repairs, and that can cost you upwards of $500 to replace one part.
But with SolarDetect, you get an expert team to take all the hassle out of your hands. Our support team performs remote diagnostics and repairs when possible, and works with manufacturers and a network of Certified Service Providers to get you fast repairs with no additional costs.
SolarDetect covers parts, labor, truck rolls, and shipping costs – just sit back and enjoy your solar system for decades to come.
Take Control of Your Solar Investment
Above all, SolarDetect provides peace of mind.
If your installer vanished, or if you just want long-term confidence in your solar system, SolarDetect is the solution you’ve been waiting for. It’s more than just a monitoring tool; it’s your support team, your safety net, and your guide to worry-free solar.
