Solar Panel Faults

If your solar panels aren’t working correctly, then you will need an experienced solar panel fault finding electrician to attend your Bristol home and diagnose the fault. There are many potential causes of poor solar panel performance, some solar panel faults are easily remedied, whilst others may require more in-depth remedial works. 

These can include:

• Build-up of dirt, dust, mould, leaves, or bird droppings on your solar panels – If your solar panels are coated in dust, dirt, and debris they won’t be generating power effectively. This is an easily rectified issue - your solar panels just need a good clean.
• Poor solar panel orientation – If your solar panels are not facing the right direction, or angled correctly then they won’t be performing very well. An experienced solar panel installer can look at your current set up and may be able to adjust your panels to provide better performance.
• Shading issues – Overhanging trees can create areas of shade on your solar panels, significantly impacting the power they can generate. This is issue particularly with slightly older solar panel installations where surrounding trees have grown to the point of interference.
• Faulty connections – This is another fault that can develop with a faulty solar panel installation. Loose or faulty connections can occur anywhere within your solar panel system, causing failures and in the worst cases even electrical fire. An experienced fault-finding solar electrician will be able to successfully diagnose the source of the problem and ensure your safety.
• Solar inverter problems or faults – It is generally quite easy to tell if your solar inverter has developed or is detecting a fault. In normal operation, the lights on your solar inverter will be green, when there is a fault, they will be red.
• Solar panel degradation or faults – Occasionally, the solar panels themselves will develop faults. The most common will be due to impact damage to the PV cells themselves or where there are installation issues that have caused damage to the cabling. To diagnose these issues, your fault-finding electrician will need to inspect the installation on your roof.
