Professional Solar Repair & Operations in Georgia
Our comprehensive solar panel maintenance, repair, and operation services in Georgia and other service areas ensure that your system performs at its best year in and year out.
Expert Solar Maintenance Services
Residential and Commercial solar power systems require very little O&M and typically have monitoring systems that make it easier for the system owner or operator to detect when there's an issue. That said, grime will build up on solar panels eventually, which is why we recommend having the system serviced at least once every 5 years.
Here's a summary of what is typically included in our O&M packages:
- Array Cleaning: Scrub the solar panels to remove dirt, dust, leaves, and other debris that may accumulate on the surface. This ensures that sunlight can be efficiently converted into electricity.
- Visual Inspections: Inspect the entire system for any signs of damage or wear and tear, such as cracks, loose connections, squirrel nests, or damaged wiring. Early detection can prevent more significant issues.
- Shade Management: Make recommendations to prune or remove any foliage that might obstruct sunlight.
- Monitoring System Performance: Check the online monitoring platform (if enabled) to verify the system meets or exceeds its performance expectations.
- Inverter Maintenance: Check the inverter, a crucial component of the system, for any error codes or issues and perform any manufacturer-recommended maintenance. Verify the string voltages are within spec.
- Electrical Connections: Verify all electrical terminations within the system are torqued within specifications. Use an IR camera to scan for hot spots while the system is energized.
- O&M Report: Provide a written report detailing the technician’s findings from the O&M service.
Remove and Reinstall for Roof Replacement
AES offers professional solar panel dismantling and reinstallation services for homeowners and businesses completing roof replacements, repairs, or other projects. Our team carefully removes and reinstalls existing solar panels, installs new roof attachments, and cleans the modules as part of the service. Additional costs may apply for complex roof pitches, non-contiguous solar arrays, rodent guards, or older systems requiring new racking. AES also backs its dismantle and reinstallation workmanship with a 25-year warranty.
Expert Solar Troubleshooting & Repair Services
If your solar power system isn’t working right, give us a call! We offer troubleshooting and repair services for a variety of system types. That said, we intentionally only specialize in certain brands of solar products in order to fully understand every aspect of the products we offer.
The main inverter brands that AES is certified for and specialize in are: Solaredge, SolArk, Tesla Energy, Enphase, SMA, Outback and Tigo (MLPE). The main battery brands AES is certified for are: EG4, Discover Energy, Rubix (formerly ARK) Battery, Endure Energy, Enphase, Current Energy, SolArk, and Tesla. We may add or remove brands from these lists, soontact us for the most recent information.
Other brands will typically allow a solar technician who isn't certified by the manufacturer to troubleshoot their products without voiding the warranty, but we recommend hiring a company who is certified if you can find one.
The brand of solar panel and racking/mounting you have installed isn’t nearly as important. They are very basic components compared to sophisticated inverters and batteries, and rarely have any issues. Furthermore, it’s uncommon for solar panels and racking companies to offer any manufacturer-specific certifications.
Solar System Support for Customers of Closed Solar Companies
If your solar system was installed by a company that has closed, filed for bankruptcy, or stopped serving customers, AES can help. This includes homeowners and businesses who worked with Titan Solar Power, Freedom Forever, Pink Energy (formerly PowerHome Solar), SunPower Corp, or ADT Solar (formerly Sunpro), along with the many other national installers that have exited the industry in recent years.
We inspect systems installed by any company, complete installation work that was left unfinished, file the permits and utility interconnection paperwork needed to bring a system fully online, and provide ongoing operations and maintenance to keep it running at its best. You do not need to have used AES for your original installation to get support now.
Contact AES today to schedule an inspection if your solar installer is no longer in business.

How much maintenance is required for solar power systems?
Solar requires very little maintenance. In the Southeast region, cleaning the solar panels with a squeegee and water once every five years is typically sufficient. If there are overhanging trees you may want to consider more frequent cleaning to remove pine straw and leaves, especially if your panels don't have a Leaf & Rodent Guard. It's quite surprising how well solar panels perform even when they are covered in pollen.
The other components in the solar power system are electrical parts, which have a life expectancy of 20 to 30+ years, as long as they are installed correctly. AES puts extra care into our workmanship and we don't cut corners, so you can rely on our work lasting as long as possible.
