What happens when your installer disappears.

Between 2022 and 2026, more than fifty California solar contractors have shut down. Some filed bankruptcy. Some got bought and discontinued the service line. Some just stopped returning calls. The customers they installed are still out there with panels on the roof and no one to call when something goes wrong.

Most installers host monitoring dashboards on their own servers. When they close, the dashboard goes dark. You can't see production. You can't see faults. You're flying blind.

The panel and inverter manufacturers still honor their warranties. But you need an installer to file the claim. Without one, you're stuck paying out of pocket or chasing paperwork no one wants to sign.

An unserviced solar system loses 8 to 15 percent of its output in the first five years. Soiling, dropped strings, failing optimizers, nothing catastrophic, just slow bleeding. Most homeowners don't notice until their utility bill climbs back up.

We're the crew you call when the first crew is gone.

Cervus Solar is a veteran-owned California contractor based in Los Angeles. We hold the C-10 electrical license and the B general building license. That matters because when the work under your array needs roofing, structural, or electrical, we handle all of it on one truck.

Most solar service shops sub it out. Sub work means more markups, more schedule risk, and more finger-pointing when something goes wrong.



The Cervus team carries DVBE and SBE certifications, works on LAUSD, LACCD, and LADWP contracts, and services residential and commercial solar across LA, Orange, Ventura, San Bernardino, and Riverside counties.

Tell us who installed your system and where you live. We'll tell you if you're in our service area, what tier fits, and what we'd charge.

Three tiers. Pick the one that fits.

Every tier includes 24/7 monitoring and an honest phone number. What changes between them is how fast we show up and how much we do when we get there.

Here's exactly what you get. And what you don't.

No fine print. If it's not listed here as included, it's either an add-on, a separate charge, or not something we do.

Credentials, not adjectives.

The Cervus team shows up in three places: we answer the phone, we show up on time, and we document everything. If you want the paper trail, you get the paper trail.

Questions we get asked.

Your installer isn't coming back. We already are.

Fifteen minutes on the phone, a free written system review, and no pressure to sign up. That's the offer.
