Who Maintains Solar Panels Under a PPA? Monitoring, Repairs, and Warranties
Updated for 2026 New Jersey Clean Energy Regulations
Direct Answer / Quick Summary
Under a New Jersey Solar PPA, the third-party solar provider is 100% responsible for all system maintenance, performance monitoring, inverter replacements, and technical repairs at zero out-of-pocket cost to the homeowner. Because the provider only generates revenue when the panels produce electricity, they actively monitor telemetry and fix hardware issues promptly.
