Learn About Solar Inspection with Sprk Founder Cory Vanderpool

A short live walk-through of how a home inspector adds solar to the inspection they are already doing, and turns it into a report most inspectors charge $250 to $300 for. Come see the whole thing start to finish and ask Cory anything.

Thursday, September 17 · · with Cory Vanderpool

This is the half hour where you find out whether solar is worth adding to your business, without committing to anything. Cory runs it live, most weeks, and it is the same walk-through whether two people show up or twenty.

Solar is a big-ticket feature on a home, right up there with the roof, the pool and the HVAC. It is expensive to put on and it can be expensive to fix. After helping inspectors around the country inspect thousands of homes, we found that 41% of solar systems have something that needs attention when the home is sold.

Here is the part that surprises most inspectors. The panels on the roof are almost never the problem. It is inverters that do not work, unsafe backfeed connections, a tree shading half the array, a roof clamp that is loose or missing. Things a buyer has no idea about and ends up inheriting, because nobody told them.

If you are like most inspectors you have had little or no solar training, so those things get missed and end up as a disclosure on the report. That is not a knock, it is just reality. It was never something you were trained to inspect. But in that absence is your opportunity.

So the demo shows you the actual work: a fifteen minute solar inspection added while you are already on site, the same way you would add a mold report or a sewer scope. You use the Sprk app to collect the solar information, we write the report in 24 hours or less, and you hand it to your client. They get real answers. You deliver real value without spending decades mastering solar.

Bring a recent inspection in mind and Cory will show you exactly how it would have worked on that house. No pitch, and you can ask anything.
