Verify solar performance

3rd Party Verification and Performance Verification

We understand the importance of trust and transparency in solar projects. That’s why we offer specialized verification services tailored to provide clear, unbiased assessments of both the installation and performance of solar systems when a 3rd party opinion may be important. Whether you are evaluating a new installation or checking the efficiency of an existing system, our services are designed to give stakeholders and system owners the confidence they need.

Third-Party Verification Services

Our Third-Party Verification Service provides an independent assessment for stakeholders of solar generation facilities to ensure that the project adheres to the specified design plans and industry standards for the time. This service includes reviewing installation methods, verifying general conformity with design documents, and alignment with project specifications. It's particularly useful for investors, project developers, or financial institutions who want confirmation that the physical installation matches the original project goals.

Performance Verification Services

Our Performance Verification Service evaluates whether your solar system is performing according to its intended design or as may have been promised by the original installer. This service involves analyzing the system's energy output, reviewing historic records, comparing it with expected performance levels, and identifying any discrepancies. It's suitable for homeowners and commercial system owners looking to verify that their system's output aligns with its capabilities without the need for intrusive inspections or ongoing maintenance services. This service focuses less on the physical installation, and is primarily geared towards understanding the system's energy generation performance.

Scott replaced a 13 year old Fronius inverter with a Fronius Gen24 and did a fantastic job. Paragon obviously takes a lot of care and pride in their work. I recommend highly.

I first worked with Scott at Paragon Solar in the fall of 2018. My inverter had just died on a just shy of 10 year old solar array. He came out, diagnosed the problem, and recommended my new Fronius array. He went to the original inverter manufacturer (going out of business) and worked on getting some reimbursement for the remaining 2 months on the warranty. A couple of years later, it appeared as if half of my electric service went away. He and I did some diagnostics to try to determine the problem and realized it most likely was with the XCEL side. Absolutely right. Current problem, after the recent snow storm, I cleared snow off my panels (ground mount array) and noticed that the inverter had an error code displayed. Let's go back a couple of months: The inverter monitoring utilized an ethernet cable to get data to the web. Varmints in my yard had chewed through the cable multiple times and I had either patched or replaced the cable in the past. I made a decision that I didn't want to do that anymore so I stopped being able to monitor the inverter. Now I didn't know how long the inverter was failing. Looked online for the error code. Did what the video said to do. No good. I then went to Paragon's website (this Saturday morning) and put in a request for service. Scott responded within 10 minutes with a text message and a detailed email on what I could do. I called him back and he first helped me understand how to hook up monitoring through WiFi, rather than the Ethernet connection. Then he had me disconnect the old ethernet cable from the inverter in case there was a shorting situation affecting the inverter. At this time I had to stop working and go off to an appointment. Said I would try all steps on Sunday. Sunday, I hooked up the inverter via WiFi, powered off and restarted the inverter with no new results. Scott said that was a possibility and had suggested I should reload an updated set of firmware, which he sent to me. I downloaded the firmware update to a USB stick, followed his instructions, and within a couple of minutes I could see that the inverter was processing AC watts, which continued to grow through the afternoon. Scott's response to me this morning was that it was great that it all worked out, and that I had saved him a trip by doing all the steps he would have done. Thanks for reading through this lengthy review. I believe that Scott Carman and Paragon represent all that is (and should be) great examples of superior service to their customers and their communities! I highly recommend them!
