We are the trusted local option when the company that sold you your system is no longer around.
We service hot tubs throughout Southwest Florida within approximately a two-hour radius of our Fort Myers location, covering Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero, Marco Island, Sarasota, and surrounding communities.
Signs include a system that was never approved for net metering, a utility interconnection that never went through, or a notice from your local building department. If your system was installed and your installer went out of business shortly after, there is a reasonable chance permits were never closed out. A diagnostic inspection from our team will tell you exactly where things stand.
Equipment warranties are held by the manufacturer, not the installer, so they typically survive the installer's closure. The challenge is navigating the claim process without a contractor to advocate for you. Advance Solar & Spa handles warranty claims on your behalf, coordinates directly with manufacturers like Enphase and Tesla, and manages equipment replacement when approved.
Permit records are public. We research your permit history through the local building department, identify any open, expired, or failed permits, and handle the resolution process from there. If you are not sure where to start, contact us and we will look it up for you.
An open or expired solar permit can complicate or delay a real estate closing. Buyers, lenders, and title companies regularly flag unpermitted work. We provide the documentation buyers and title companies need, and we resolve permit issues before they become deal-breakers.
There are several common causes: the utility interconnection was never completed, net metering was never activated, the system has an inverter fault, or the system was undersized or improperly installed. We diagnose all of these. In many Solar Rescue cases, homeowners have been paying full utility bills for months or years because their system was never properly turned on.
It depends on what was left incomplete. Finishing electrical work and coordinating a final inspection can take a few weeks. Resolving permit issues and utility interconnection typically takes four to eight weeks depending on the local building department and utility timeline. We give you a realistic estimate after reviewing your specific situation.
n some cases, yes. If your original contractor took payment and did not finish the job, that is a matter between you and them, and possibly your credit card company or a contractor's bond claim. Advance Solar & Spa can complete the remaining work and provide documentation of what was and was not done, which may be useful if you pursue any remedies against the original contractor.
No. Advance Solar & Spa services and repairs solar systems we did not install. Our Solar Rescue Service was built specifically for homeowners with systems from other companies, including companies that no longer exist. We service all major brands and system types.
Not necessarily, but it may be. Underproduction can come from shade, soiling, a failing inverter, degraded panels, or a system that was never sized correctly. We diagnose both the technical and utility sides of underproduction.
Contact us for current pricing. In many cases, the cost of an inspection is minor relative to the value of recovering a system that has been underperforming or sitting inactive. We explain everything we find and what it would take to resolve it before any repair work begins.
