Frequently Asked Questions
Answers from San Diego’s Trusted Electrical & Solar Experts – Mark Snyder Electric
Solar & Inverter Systems
Yes. Many solar systems underperform due to faulty inverters, degraded panels, or installation issues. As the only Schneider Electric and Xantrex Authorized Service Center in Southern California, we specialize in diagnosing and repairing these problems. Recent example: We increased a customer’s 40 kW system to 60 kW, saving them thousands of dollars per month.
Absolutely. We are the only authorized service center in Southern California for both Xantrex and Schneider Electric. We perform component-level repairs, not just replacements, saving customers significant money.
It depends on the issue. Many inverter and system optimizations can be completed in 1–2 visits. We prioritize getting your system back online quickly.
Electrical Panels & Safety
Yes. We regularly replace these outdated and potentially hazardous panels so insurance policies can be renewed. We work directly with property management companies and homeowners to complete this work efficiently.
Common signs include flickering lights, breakers tripping often, warm or buzzing panels, or difficulty adding new circuits (such as for EV chargers or electric appliances).
EV Chargers & Load Management
Not always. We can often install a dedicated 50-amp circuit and use load management devices to avoid the high cost of a full service upgrade.
Yes. We install new dedicated circuits and can help with load management solutions if your current panel is at capacity.
