Technical FAQs 4

Why is my solar system not working?

There are two failure modes which the solar system maybe experience. These two conditions which may require troubleshooting are: Zero output is a common problem and in nine out of ten cases, it is due to a faulty inverter or charge controller. It’s also possible that one solar panel in your pv array failed.

Are there common faults with solar photovoltaic (PV) systems?

With the widespread adoption of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, ensuring their efficient and stable operation is essential. However, during long-term operation, PV systems may encounter common faults.

What happens if a solar panel fails?

It’s also possible that one solar panel in your pv array failed. As the pv modules are connected in series, one failing pv module will shut down the entire system. If your solar system is not delivering sufficient power for which it is rated for, the resulting situation is called a low power situation.

Why is solar panel troubleshooting important?

Solar panel troubleshooting not only saves you money and time but also enhances performance in the long run. If you understand the common issues and learn how to fix them on time, you can easily maximize your Return on Investment (ROI) and extend the solar system's lifespan. This is what most homeowners dream of.
