Reduced Energy Production
Problem
System is producing significantly less energy than expected.
Solution
1. Compare current output to historical data for same season. 2. Check for new shading sources. 3. Inspect panels for dirt, bird droppings, or debris. 4. Verify all panels are connected (one disconnected panel affects the whole string). 5. Check inverter efficiency rating. 6. Schedule professional inspection if output is below 80% of expected.
Solar Panels Not Producing Power
Problem
Solar panels are not generating any electricity despite sunny weather.
Solution
1. Check inverter display for error codes. 2. Verify all panel connections are secure. 3. Check for shading from new obstacles (trees, buildings). 4. Clean panel surfaces if dirty. 5. Test each panel individually with a multimeter. 6. If one panel fails, it may be blocking the entire string.
