When your solar panels stop producing power, it can be frustrating — especially when you depend on them for energy savings.
The good news? Most issues are fixable with the right expertise. Whether the problem is electrical, environmental, or system-related, Sunaura Solar provides professional troubleshooting and repair services to restore performance safely and efficiently.
Here’s what could be causing your system to underperform — and how to get it producing power again.
1. Check for Monitoring App Alerts
Your solar monitoring app is often the first place to spot a problem. If production suddenly drops or stops, the app may show error codes or status warnings.
Sunaura Solar’s Tip:
Don’t ignore those alerts. We analyze real-time data from your monitoring system to identify whether the issue lies in your inverter, panels, or grid connection.
2. Inspect for Shading or Debris
Trees growing nearby or debris buildup can block sunlight, reducing production without any electrical failure.
Sunaura Solar’s Solution:
We perform visual and drone inspections to locate shading or obstruction problems and recommend the best course of action — from trimming trees to professional cleaning.
3. Examine Your Inverter Status
Your inverter converts solar energy into usable electricity for your home. If the display shows an error light or blank screen, your system isn’t sending power to the grid.
Sunaura Solar’s Solution:
We test inverter connections, replace faulty breakers, and confirm power flow to restore safe, continuous operation.
4. Review Your Breakers and Disconnects
Sometimes, the fix is as simple as a tripped breaker. But homeowners should never reset or handle electrical components without professional help.
Sunaura Solar’s Solution:
Our technicians check your AC/DC disconnects and breakers to confirm all electrical pathways are working correctly and safely.
5. Look for Visible Damage
Storms, hail, or roof work can cause panel cracks, loose mounts, or exposed wiring. These issues can interrupt power flow and compromise safety.
Sunaura Solar’s Solution:
We conduct full system inspections after roof repairs or weather events, ensuring all mounts, seals, and wiring are properly reconnected.
6. Check for Inverter Communication Issues
Even if your system is producing power, it may not communicate properly with your monitoring app due to Wi-Fi or software issues.
Sunaura Solar’s Solution:
We reconnect your inverter to your monitoring platform, update firmware, and verify accurate data reporting for performance tracking.
7. Verify Grid Connection
Sometimes, your solar system stops producing power because the main utility grid experiences an outage or voltage imbalance.
Sunaura Solar’s Solution:
We test grid voltage and confirm synchronization with your solar inverter, ensuring your system resumes normal operation once power stabilizes.
8. Inspect Wiring and Junction Boxes
Corrosion, pests, or loose wires can interrupt the current between panels and the inverter.
Sunaura Solar’s Solution:
We inspect all wiring routes, junction boxes, and connectors for wear or damage, repairing or replacing components as needed to restore safe operation.
9. Evaluate Long-Term System Performance
Gradual efficiency loss may not cause total shutdown, but it signals declining health. Early diagnostics prevent larger failures later.
Sunaura Solar’s Solution:
Our solar system diagnostics pinpoint aging components, voltage drops, or connection resistance — allowing proactive maintenance before major issues arise.
