South Coast Solar uses a flashed mounting system that features a patented water seal technology to keep installations from leaking from inclement weather. All materials and labor is covered under SunPower's 25-year Complete Confidence Warranty, which covers parts, labor, and performance for the essential lifetime of the solar power system. The solar provider has also issued its own 10-year power production guarantee, which ensures customers their systems will produce the amount of energy estimated by South Coast Solar's expert team.
A digital display on the inverter will provide current system data as well as some information on its performance history.

Installing a backup battery also translates to further savings on the monthly electricity bill. The Tesla Powerwall comes with a 10-year warranty.
South Coast Coast Solar is experienced in installing custom designs on many rooftops but they do not install solar panels on roofs with asbestos or concrete tiles. The size of your roof is also a factor in the type of solar panels that can be installed and rooftops that face south are best for installing these types of panels. Homes that experience a large portion of shade throughout the day will most likely not qualify for the installation of solar photovoltaic panels. Chimneys, vent piping, and ventilation fans may interfere with the installation process. Consumers will need to make sure they have at least 48 inches of wall space free from obstructions next to their utility meters for inverters and disconnect mountings.
South Coast Solar admits on its corporate website to spending a longer time with the installation process than other similar industry competitors. Consumers can expect a day of installation for each kilowatt of solar electricity. According to the company, the longer installation times are due to the installation of the leak-proof mounting system and to making sure the wiring is hidden as much as possible. Some minor inconveniences can also be expected by consumers as contractors perform some wiring work inside the residence as well.
South Coast Solar is an experienced provider of solar energy systems for commercial, residential, and government properties. South Coast Solar provides customers with free estimates, full warranties, and multiple performance monitoring and financing options. However, the company's installation time is longer than what is offered by conventional solar panel installers (or installers who do not offer SunPower panels).
