Episde 24 | Solar Growth, Service Gaps & Solutions: The Real Work Behind Solar Systems Featuring Tara McDermott of Marcor Solar [Audio]
from The Marcor Studios Podcast · host Gina Farese
The solar boom created thousands of systems. It also created thousands of unanswered service calls. In this episode, I sit down with Tara McDermott to officially welcome her as the new Director of Solar + Storage Services at Marcor Solar. With nearly a decade of experience working alongside our team, Tara breaks down the realities facing homeowners today: orphaned systems, lack of monitoring, insurance complications, and the growing need for licensed, long-term solar service solutions. 🎙️☀️ We unpack why solar was never meant to be “set it and forget it,” how improper removals and reinstalls can put financing and warranties at risk, and why education, maintenance, and system performance matter more now than ever as tax credits disappear and the industry recalibrates. From critter damage and roof integrity to monitoring, diagnostics, and compliance, this episode is about protecting the investment homeowners have already made.
