Letter to new Solar Owners

How sure are you that your solar electric company has the
highest quality install in mind for you?


At Solar Assurance we are protecting your solar investment!!

By Arizona contractors standard, contractors are liable for their work a short 2 years after they have installed your system. Problems that can occur normally will happen after the 2 year obligation especially if the initial install is not of the highest quality.

Solar Assurance will perform a detailed quality inspection for you and provide a full detailed report of your results including pictures. This report can then be given to your installer with the corrections needed to your system if any.

I know your solar investment is a huge cost, if it is installed with the highest quality then you will receive the maximum lifetime production of your system!

We appreciate your time in considering us for your solar quality inspection needs. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Travis Welton

A Little About My Experience in the Solar Industry

I started working in the solar industry back in 2005. When I started there were roughly a dozen solar companies in the state of Arizona. In 2008, the federal government passed the Renewable Energy Tax Credit giving any home owner a tax credit of 30% their renewable energy system install. At the end of 2008 there were an estimated 300 solar companies in just the Phoenix metro area. This was a huge spike for the solar industry. Unfortunately most of these new companies were not educated and experienced in solar technology but did have the proper electrical licences to install solar. I have not seen much change in the quality of the solar installers since this spike back in 2008. For this reason I have moved forward with Solar Assurance to help bring my solar expertise and experience to help the solar industry.

What is Quality in the Solar Industry?

Quality Assurance is a measure of excellence created by a manufacturer that should be followed when that equipment makes it to an install site. Costumers of the solar industry have a perception that solar is a clean energy. When an install is complete the customer relates that "clean" mentality to the quality of the install.  A good quality solar install should reflect uniformity & cleanliness with the output that is expected of the system.

About your PV inspector

I have been working in the electrical field since 2001 starting with residential track homes. I added commercial electrical work to my resume in 2004.  I Joined the PV industry in 2005 and have been working in that field since.

I am Green minded and continue to educate myself in all methods of alternative fuels. I have recently added wind power and solar hot water to my experiences.

I continue to be a huge supporter of the Solar Industry and assist those with in the industry. My reason for starting Solar Assurance is to help the PV industry increase quality when it comes to installations.
