At Lehmann Electrical, we’ve noticed a growing problem in the Milwaukee area – poorly installed solar systems that don’t deliver promised performance. As master electricians who expanded into solar, we bring a unique perspective to solar inspections that panel-only companies miss.
Professional solar inspections ensure your investment operates at peak efficiency while maintaining safety standards. Our certified electrical specialists combine years of experience with advanced diagnostic equipment to identify potential issues before they become costly problems.
Key Benefits Of Solar Inspection Services
• Early detection of performance issues and safety hazards
• Compliance verification with local Milwaukee County electrical codes

• Professional documentation for insurance and warranty purposes
Our 4-Step Solar Inspection Process
We thoroughly examine all visible components for:
- Panel condition (cracks, delamination, discoloration)
- Mounting hardware security
- Roof penetration quality and water sealing
- Wire condition and proper management
- Inverter/microinverter physical condition
Every inspection includes detailed photos documenting current condition.
We measure actual system output against expected production:
- Historical production data review
- On-site output measurements
- Shade analysis throughout the day
- Individual panel performance tests
- Inverter efficiency verification
Our testing identifies underperforming components and production bottlenecks.
As master electricians, we check critical safety elements:
- Proper grounding throughout system
- Wire insulation integrity
- Connection quality at all points
- Disconnect functionality
- Code compliance of electrical components
This electrical focus separates our inspections from general solar checks.
We evaluate all system paperwork for completeness:
- Original permits and inspection reports
- Component warranties and transferability
- Monitoring system setup and access
- Utility agreements and interconnection documents
- Past maintenance records
Proper documentation is essential, especially during property transfers.
Common Issues We Find in Milwaukee Solar Systems
Wisconsin’s harsh climate takes a toll on solar installations:
- Hail impacts causing micro-cracks in panels
- Ice dam formation under panels
- Loose mounting from freeze-thaw cycles
- Snow load damage to racking systems
- Lightning surge impacts on electronics
Our local experience helps identify weather patterns that affect your specific location.
Unfortunately, we regularly find shortcuts taken during installation:
- Improper roof attachments causing leaks
- Insufficient wire management creating wear points
- Incorrect panel spacing affecting cooling
- Mismatched components reducing efficiency
- Inadequate grounding creating safety hazards
These installation problems often remain hidden until professional inspection.
.
Many systems produce significantly below capacity due to:
- Tree growth creating new shading
- Soiling from pollen, dust, and bird droppings
- Inverter degradation
- Panel efficiency loss beyond expected rates
- Monitoring system failures masking issues
Most performance problems can be resolved once properly identified.
Missing paperwork creates headaches, especially during property transfers:
- Lost warranty information
- Missing permits or inspection certificates
- Incomplete monitoring system credentials
- Undocumented system modifications
- Expired interconnection agreements
We help identify and resolve documentation issues to protect your investment.
