among the best economic and environmentally conscious choices homeowner could make.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"5\">If your system is operating flawlessly, you will enjoy dramatically lower utility costs and security that comes from producing your own power that is clean.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"2\">But what happens if your energy production suddenly drops or a major Midwest storm makes your panels look damaged?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" data-path-to-node=\"2\"><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"4\">A solar array that isn\u2019t working properly is not just a technical problem but it\u2019s a real drawdown on the return you get from your investment.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"6\">Every day your system goes down is a day that you have to purchase expensive power by the grid.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight active\" data-id=\"12\">If your system is experiencing malfunctions, locating reliable\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rjconstructionmarion.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-hveid=\"0\" data-ved=\"0CAAQ_4QMahgKEwjDvbil4YWUAxUAAAAAHQAAAAAQkgE\">solar panel repair in Cedar Rapids<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is the best method to safeguard your equipment and ensure that your home\u2019s power production is back up and running.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3

rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"7\">When you live in Eastern Iowa, those elements can be extremely severe.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"9\">Cedar Rapids experiences wild temperature fluctuation, massive accumulation of winter snow and severe spring storms that often result in damaging hail and strong winds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" data-path-to-node=\"5\"><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"10\">Although your panels are designed to withstand heavy use but a massive hailstone striking at an ideal angle could easily break the glass.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"13\">In addition, the continual freeze-thaw cycles of an Iowa winter may result in the heavy roofing hardware to shift.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"14\">In time, this shifting could cause roof leaks or cause the electrical connections that connect the roof to the grid.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"15\">A local repair service knows the exact impact that this harsh environment affects sensitive equipment, and know exactly the best places to search for signs of weather-related wear and wear and tear.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3

rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"16\">Unless a tree\u2019s massive branch comes crashing through your roof the damage caused by solar energy isn\u2019t always immediately evident.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"18\">Since the system is silent it is dependent on software that monitors your bill for electricity to detect the underlying issues.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"17\">practical tips you can apply in everyday life. From boosting confidence is a list of the top frequent indicators that signal that it\u2019s time to contact an expert:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\" data-path-to-node=\"8\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"20\"><strong data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\">Unexpected spikes in your electric Bill:<\/strong>\u00a0If your electric bill for the summer suddenly appears exactly like it did prior to when you added solar panels, your system isn\u2019t performing as it should.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"19\">In older installations the failure of one panel could reduce the effectiveness of the entire system.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"25\"><strong data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\">Inverter Error Codes<\/strong>\u00a0The inverter on your system is the brain of your operation responsible for turning sunlight into AC energy to power your home.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"21\">If the monitoring box at the exterior of your home is showing red or flashing errors, your system is likely to have shut down completely to stop the possibility of a fire.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\"><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"22\"><strong data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\">Visible Micro-Cracks<\/strong>\u00a0Even small hairline fractures within the glass could allow morning dew and rainwater to enter the solar cells\u2019 internals.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"24\">This causes rapid corrosion and causes locally-defined \u201chot spots\u201d that will permanently ruin the panel.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8,3,0\"><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"28\"><strong data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"8,3,0\">Pest Intrusions<\/strong>\u00a0Squirrels, pigeons and raccoons are fond of building nests in the warm, protected space between your panels and the shingles.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"27\">They also have a habit of chewing right through the essential electrical wiring.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\" data-path-to-node=\"9\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Please_Put_the_Ladder_Away\"><\/span><span class=\"wordai-block

class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"32\">When you see a decline in production, it\u2019s extremely tempting to take an extra ladder from the garage, and climb up to the roof and then try to solve the issue yourself.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"26\">Do not try this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" data-path-to-node=\"11\"><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"29\">The first and most important thing to remember is that you\u2019re dealing with the live, high-voltage electric power plant.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"34\">The attempt to repair an inverter that is damaged or bypass a damaged panel without the proper training can be a huge danger of shock that can be fatal.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"33\">Also when walking on a pitch roof is a hazard with no safety harnesses.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"30\">In addition, the majority of major solar companies have extremely rigorous warranty policies.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"37\">If an unlicensed, unauthorized homeowner tries to fix the problem themselves then the manufacturer will immediately end the warranty and leave you on the hook to pay thousands in repair costs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\" data-path-to-node=\"12\"><span

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" data-path-to-node=\"13\"><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"35\">If your investment is exposed on your roof you\u2019ll need a company who you can count on.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"38\">Solar companies that are massive, outside of state generally have horrible customer service waiting times and treat you as another number in a long line in the event that your power is cut off.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" data-path-to-node=\"14\"><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"36\">When you partner with a reputable locally-based Cedar Rapids roofing and solar expert, you can be assured of speedy efficient and clear service.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"43\">The local team will arrive quickly, precisely identify if the issue is simply a blowing fuse, chewed wire or a damaged panel and give a clear up-front estimate before any tools are taken off.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" data-path-to-node=\"15\"><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"39\">You\u2019ve paid a good price to convert your roof into a green energy source.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"41\">Don\u2019t let a cracked panel, an inverter that\u2019s not working or a severe weather-related damages eat away your savings on energy bills.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"40\">Get your home back to its efficiency and safeguard your home by calling trusted local solar experts now.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"42\">Conduct a thorough diagnostic check and make sure that your system is properly designed to take
