Hail Damage?

First, we hope you and your loved ones made it safely from the severe weather and Hail Storms that came through Austin Sunday night. We have been in touch with many of you already.

Solar System Repair Checklist

If you suffered Hail Damage, you need to take a few actions immediately to safeguard your Solar System. If not you may be doing further damage to your systems. 

1) Call, email, or contact the Lighthouse Solar Team to schedule a time for us to come out and inspect the Hail Storm damage.

2) If your Solar Panels or System have received damage as a precaution, please turn off your Solar AC Disconnect Switch. It's a box near your electrical panel with a large handle. Simply pull the handle down to turn it off. For those that have a Central Inverter Disconnect the DC Switch as well. If you are unsure or don't know please contact us.

3) DO NOT ALLOW ANY ROOFING COMPANY TO WORK ON YOUR SOLAR SYSTEM, DOING SO WILL VOID THE EXTENDED 15 OR 25-YEAR WARRANTY. 

4) DO NOT SIGN ANY AGREEMENTS OR AGREE TO ANY SERVICE WITHOUT CHECKING OUT THE COMPANIES BACKGROUND AND HISTORY. Unfortunately, there are a high number of scammers and untrustworthy contractors/ambulance chasers at this time. Please be extremely vigilant as these people can seem friendly, and helpful, and be very pushy and persuasive only to never be seen again once they receive payment. Also never do business with someone that is requesting cash payment. 

5) Contact your Homeowner's Insurance Agent to open a claim if you did receive damage. This will help get the claim opened and the property inspected, allowing you to get estimates and help expedite the claim process.

6) If you have roof damage and are looking for a roofing company for repair services. They are highly recommended and you can reach them at jackiel@qualityroofingaustin.com 

7) Relax and take a deep breath. Your home and solar systems can be replaced, your family and loved ones cannot.
