Performance Measurement

Solar output is measured and compared to expectations.

Component-Level Evaluation

Panels, controllers, and connections are assessed.

Clear Diagnostic Findings

Results are documented and explained.

Common Problems We Fix

Solar performance loss is often caused by multiple small issues.

Low or inconsistent power output

Panel damage, shading, or wiring losses.

Charging not reaching batteries

Controller or connection problems.

Intermittent solar operation

Loose connectors or protection faults.

Unexpected system behavior

Configuration or compatibility issues.

Frequently Asked Questions​

Solar panel diagnostics involves testing the solar panels, charge controller, wiring, batteries, and inverter to identify why the system isn’t producing or delivering power correctly.
Common signs include batteries not charging, low solar output, inconsistent power, error codes on the charge controller, or solar working only intermittently.
Yes. Internal panel damage, wiring faults, shading issues, or controller problems may reduce output without visible panel damage.
Yes. The charge controller is a critical component and is tested for correct voltage regulation, settings, and communication with batteries.
Absolutely. Loose connections, undersized wiring, corrosion, or poor routing can significantly reduce charging efficiency.
Yes. Failing or undersized batteries can prevent proper charging even when solar panels are working correctly.
If the solar system feeds an inverter, inverter input and output performance are evaluated during diagnostics.
Yes. Partial shading from roof accessories, vents, or dirt buildup can significantly reduce panel efficiency.
Most solar diagnostic services are completed within a few hours, depending on system size and complexity.
Yes. Identifying charging issues early helps prevent battery overcharging, undercharging, and premature failure.
Yes. Any upgrades to panels, batteries, or inverters should be followed by diagnostics to ensure proper system integration.
Diagnostics are recommended when charging performance drops, before long off-grid trips, or during routine electrical inspections.
