There can be a few reasons why your solar panel isn’t charging the battery. No worries; as an expert, I’ve dealt with countless situations like these. It’s typically down to technical challenges, common faults, or internal battery problems.
Any malfunction can bring down the entire charging process. Internal damages due to mishandling, manufacturing flaws, sulfate crystal formations, or simply old age can affect a battery’s acceptance to charge. Parasitic draw and the impact of sulfation are other common solar battery problems. It’s true; a solar battery can require some maintenance.
Internal damages due to mishandling, manufacturing flaws, sulfate crystal formations, or simply old age can affect a battery’s acceptance to charge. Parasitic draw and the impact of sulfation are other common solar battery problems. It’s true; a solar battery can require some maintenance. But the larger question is – how do we do that?
You’ll need to: One of the most common problems with solar panels is a loose electrical connection. Solar panels use far more wires than most people realise, and given that they’re exposed to the elements on your roof, accidental disconnections are a lot more common than most realise, too.
It might be something as simple as obstructions blocking sunlight or as technical as a malfunctioning charge controller. I’ve learned that checking the connections and ensuring the panels are clean is a great first step. If that doesn’t work, it’s crucial to assess the compatibility and health of the battery itself.
