Solar Correction

If your solar panels are not performing as expected, there could be several reasons. Here are some common issues that may affect their performance:

1. Shading or Obstructions 

Solar panels require direct sunlight to generate optimal power. If there are trees, buildings, or other obstructions casting shadows on your panels, their performance can be reduced. 

2. Dirty Panels 

Dust, dirt, bird droppings, or snow can accumulate on the surface of the panels, blocking sunlight and reducing their efficiency. Regular cleaning may be necessary, especially in areas with frequent dust or storms. 

3. Weather Conditions 

While solar panels work on cloudy days, their output is lower compared to sunny days. Extreme weather conditions, like heavy rain, snow, or thick clouds, can also affect performance temporarily. 

4. Inverter Issues 

The inverter converts the DC electricity generated by your panels into AC electricity for your home. If the inverter is malfunctioning, it can lead to poor performance or no power output. Check the inverter for error codes or flashing lights, which can indicate a problem. 

5. Faulty Wiring or Connections 

Loose or damaged wiring or connections between the panels and the inverter can cause a decrease in energy production. A professional inspection may be needed to check the wiring. 

6. Panel Age or Degradation 

Over time, solar panels degrade and become less efficient. Most panels are designed to last 25-30 years, but their efficiency decreases gradually. If your panels are old or have suffered damage, their performance may have dropped. 

7. Incorrect System Size 

If your system is too small for your energy needs, it may appear underperforming. Similarly, if the system was not sized properly for your home or location, you may not see the expected energy output. 

8. Inverter or System Faults (e.g., Low Voltage) 

Inverters have built-in safety features, such as shutting down if there is a fault or an issue with voltage. If the system detects any electrical faults, it may limit or stop output to protect itself.

9. Temperature Effects 

While solar panels need sunlight to work, they also perform less efficiently in extremely hot conditions. Panels are less effective in very high temperatures because excess heat can hinder their ability to generate electricity. 

10. Grid Issues (for Grid-Tied Systems) 

If your system is grid-tied, a problem with the grid (such as power outages, maintenance, or issues with net metering) can reduce your solar output or prevent excess energy from being exported. 

11. Faulty Monitoring System 

If you have a monitoring system in place to track your solar production, it may be malfunctioning. Ensure your monitoring system is set up correctly and functioning properly to get accurate readings. 

12. Panel Damage 

 Physical damage, such as cracks, chips, or wear from hail, can affect the performance of individual panels. If you suspect damage, it is important to have them inspected by a professional. 

What You Can Do: 

Inspect the panels for dirt or debris. If necessary, clean them with appropriate materials or hire a professional. 

Check for shading. Trim trees or move any objects that block sunlight. 

Check the inverter. If it shows an error code, consult the manufacturer’s manual or call a technician. 

Review your energy production data. Use your system’s monitoring tool (if available) to look at trends or sudden drops in production. 

Contact a professional. If you can pinpoint the problem, a certified solar technician can inspect your system for issues with wiring, the inverter, or other components.
