What should I do if my solar meter is faulty?
Contact your solar panel installer or a solar panel maintenance professional. If your generation meter is replaced, make sure you get a letter from the installer stating what they have done and that they changed the meter because it was faulty. The paperwork should also state the model and serial numbers of the old and new meters.
How do I troubleshoot my solar panels?
The first step in troubleshooting your solar panels is to check the connection between the panels and the rest of the system. Start by inspecting the wiring to ensure there are no loose or damaged connections. Gently tighten any loose connections and replace any damaged wiring if necessary.
Can a faulty solar generation meter be repaired?
Solar generation meter replacements are a relatively inexpensive and common repair but sometimes what appears to be a faulty generation meter can be an indication of faulty or damaged wiring elsewhere. If in doubt, book an engineer to carry out a fault finding visit.
Why are my solar panels not generating power?
The inverter is a crucial component of your solar panel system that converts the direct current (DC) produced by the panels into usable alternating current (AC) electricity. If your solar panels are not generating power, the inverter could be the culprit. Inspect the inverter for any error codes or warning lights.
What should I do if I don't have solar system monitoring?
If you do not have solar system monitoring installed, the first step is to check for any obvious issues with the solar panels, such as a build-up of dirt, dust, mould, or leaves. Maybe a good wash with a soft broom and water is all that they need. Also, check no nearby trees have grown significantly and are shading the panels.
Why do solar panels fail?
Blown bypass diodes - Permanent failure often due to severe localised shading or overheating. Earth leakage is a common problem with older solar panels that is often caused by backsheet failure leading to water ingress or PID or potential induced degradation. Strings of solar panels operate at high voltages, up to 600V or higher.
