The differences in the types of faults and failures are reflective of the size, age, location and type of the portfolio. Inverter faults and failures make up the largest share of events at three out of the four portfolios. In Portfolio B, tracker issues made up the largest share of faults and failures.
One of the most common solar panel problems is that they exert stress on the roof. This can potentially lead to damage or leaks if not installed properly. To safeguard against roof damage, conduct regular system inspections and ensure correct panel installation.
Solar panels are susceptible to severe weather impacts, such as high winds, hail, and lightning strikes. This damage can affect the panels and their electrical connections within the solar energy system. To safeguard your solar panels from such environmental threats, it’s crucial to have a professional installer who can secure them effectively.
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.
Electrical Concerns Solar panels connected to the grid may encounter issues with their electrical connections, often caused by loose connections or broken wiring. Left unaddressed, these problems can result in power loss or even pose a fire hazard.
