You purchased solar equipment to reduce your electric bill.  If any component of solar equipment doesn't work correctly, you have to use the electric company to make up the difference.  That means your electric bill goes up.  Even a partial outage will cost you hundreds of dollars per month.  Did you know the average home owner who goes solar started with an electric bill over $300 a month?  What if you don't notice your solar solution has been down for two months?  You do the math!  

For those with energy storage systems (batteries):  Did you know that if your system doesn't function correctly and the battery completely drains, the battery can be permanently damaged?  In most cases, the battery manufacturer will not honor the warranty and will NOT pay to replace the $6,000+ battery.  The replacement cost may be on the customer!  A review and test of your energy backup system is available through US Solar Doctor.  When done together with our monitoring service, you can prevent full discharge from happening, potentially saving you thousands of dollars!
