Congratulations—your solar system is installed! But what comes next is just as important. Advanced Electric & Solar LLC prides itself on full-cycle customer care, including proactive follow-up and communication during that post-installation period. Here’s how the first 90 days typically play out.
30-Day: Initial Inspections & Documentation
- Local Authority Inspection & Permission to Operate (PTO)
Within the first month, local building departments or your utility (e.g., Tucson Electric Power) will conduct final inspections. This step ensures compliance and paves the way for official PTO, a prerequisite for your system going live - Utility Meter Activation & Net Metering Setup
Once approved, your utility installs a bidirectional or smart meter to track solar generation and grid interaction. Production and billing metadata usually begin updating within 30–60 days - Documentation & Client Portal Setup
Expect to receive key paperwork—PTO documentation, wiring diagrams, equipment specs, and rebate or incentive applications. Advanced Electric & Solar LLC often handles this documentation and ensures you're informed every step of the way - System Demonstration & Customer Training
A brief walkthrough of your system—typically 1–2 hours—to explain how to read your inverter display, monitor performance, and practice basic troubleshooting
60-Day: Monitoring & Performance Checks
- Performance Tracking Begins
Around this timeframe, your system should be fully operational with real-time monitoring via apps or inverter dashboards. Regular tracking helps identify any anomalies early - Power Output Accountability
Compare your system’s energy output against expectations. This helps detect issues such as shading, dirt build-up, or connection faults that may impact efficiency - Visual & Electrical Inspections
Walk your panels—check for debris, cracks, loose wiring, or shading. Also inspect inverters and wiring for corrosion, proper connections, and airflow clearance - Warranty & Maintenance Documentation
Keeping a log of your system’s operational performance and maintenance checks supports warranty claims and helps track long-term health
90-Day: Follow-Up & Preventive Maintenance
- Professional System Inspection
Around the three-month mark, a technician should perform a thorough inspection: panel cleaning (if needed), tightened connections, inverter check, mounting and structural evaluation, and digital performance diagnostics - System Tuning & Updates
If performance dips are identified, the tech can recalibrate your inverter, clear obstructions, or adjust wiring and connections to optimize output.
- Long-Term Maintenance Planning
A preventative maintenance schedule is essential. This might include annual inspections, semi-annual cleanings, vegetation control, inverter ventilation checks, or software updates Discuss how Advanced Electric & Solar LLC handles seasonal upkeep to maximize system lifespan. - Client Feedback & Support
By this point, most homeowners are comfortable with the system—but the company remains available for questions, support, or monitoring issues. Customers have praised Advanced Electric & Solar LLC for their consistent communication, even post-installation
