Six Months Without Solar — Part One: Diagnose Before Replacing
Part One documents the service call that changed the replacement plan: the multifamily property had 120/208V electrical service, while the proposed Solis inverter required 120/240V. The lesson is simple—verify the service and equipment compatibility before ordering the replacement inverter.
One Property, Two ADUs, Two Solar Systems | Los Angeles Part 1
One Los Angeles property, two ADUs and two separately planned rooftop solar systems. Part One documents the field work behind the headline: roof layout, attachment and rail preparation, electrical pathways, module staging and the first installed array. The first- and second-story roofs required their own safe access, layout and installation sequence. Final system sizing, interconnection and production depend on the approved plans, equipment and utility requirements.
Two ADU Solar Systems: Electrical Integration | Los Angeles Part 2
Part Two continues the Los Angeles two-ADU solar installation from the rooftop arrays to the electrical integration. This field video documents wall-mounted solar equipment, inverter and disconnect work, grounding and bonding conductors, protected wiring pathways and the deliberate closeout of two separately planned solar systems on one property. Final inspection, utility authorization and production verification remain part of the approved project closeout.
Enphase Microinverter Replacement and Commissioning
Solar Wholesale Group dispatched Eco Solar & Electric to a Laguna Niguel home for an approved Enphase microinverter replacement. This field video documents safe tile-roof access, the affected module and under-module equipment, replacement work, the Enphase combiner and the serial-number handoff used to retire the old device and commission the replacement in the existing monitored system.
PMI Patron SunPower ‘Missing Grid’ Diagnosis | Signal Hill
This 29.85-second captioned case-study video documents Eco Solar & Electric’s service call for PMI Patron at a managed multifamily property in Signal Hill. Testing traced a SunPower missing-grid message to the 20-amp solar backfeed breaker, which was off and not fully seated. After correcting the connection, we verified the inverter recognizing the grid and the system producing again. No endorsement is implied.
This Palos Verdes Estates homeowner found Eco Solar & Electric through Google, reviewed our customer feedback and website, then called us directly. Her service call involved two legacy Aurora inverters: one operating and one reporting E031. The manufacturer identifies E031 as an internal error involving voltage measured at the output relay. We compared the paired equipment, verified the AC supply, checked the DC array inputs and followed a controlled restart before documenting the repair and replacement path.

Dedicated 20-Amp Circuit for a Rinnai Tankless Water Heater
This Rinnai tankless water heater still required dependable 120-volt power for its controls and operation. The documented installation shows a new dedicated 20-amp branch circuit using #12 copper conductors, GFCI protection where applicable and final electrical testing instead of sharing an existing appliance circuit.
The breaker kept tripping when multiple loads were in use. We traced the affected circuit, found that it was carrying more than it should and planned the kitchen and air-conditioning loads around properly separated circuits. The video shows the symptom and field diagnosis.
The existing bathroom fan created the appearance of ventilation, but it did not have a proper exhaust path to the exterior. We opened the affected route, installed a dedicated duct through the attic and completed an exterior termination so moisture and odors could leave the home as intended.
The Powerwall monitoring wiring and current-sensor orientation had been installed backward. We traced the power-flow signals, corrected the wiring direction and restored accurate solar, home, battery and grid monitoring.
Tesla Powerwall 3 Mid-Circuit Interrupter Troubleshooting
We evaluated a Powerwall 3 solar shutdown problem by testing the photovoltaic strings and mid-circuit interrupter paths. This methodical process helps distinguish an MCI issue from conductor, connector or other solar-array faults.
