Solar Panel Repair & Maintenance FAQ

Find answers to frequently asked questions about Solar Panel Repair & Maintenance and connect with qualified professionals in UK through SolarCompaniesHub.

What are the most common solar panel problems?

Some of the most common solar panel problems include:
  • Panel Degradation: Over time, solar panels naturally lose some efficiency, typically less than 1% per year.
  • Shading: Objects, like trees, buildings, or even bird droppings, can block sunlight from reaching the panels, reducing their output.
  • Microcracks: Tiny cracks in the solar cells can affect performance. These cracks may not be visible to the naked eye.
  • Inverter Issues: Inverters can malfunction due to various reasons, including overheating, electrical surges, or component failure.
  • Wiring Problems: Loose, corroded, or damaged wiring can disrupt the flow of electricity from the panels to the inverter.
  • Roof Leaks: Water damage from roof leaks can affect the panels and wiring.
  • Pest Infestation: Rodents or birds can sometimes damage wiring or nesting under panels.
Regular inspections and maintenance can help prevent or detect many of these problems early on.

What causes solar panel microcracks?

Microcracks in solar panels are tiny, hairline cracks in the solar cells that can reduce the panel's efficiency. They may not be visible to the naked eye, but they can be detected using specialized equipment. These microcracks can occur due to various factors:
  • Manufacturing Defects: Some panels may have tiny cracks from the manufacturing process.
  • Thermal Stress: Temperature fluctuations, especially rapid heating and cooling, can stress the panels and cause microcracks.
  • Mechanical Stress: Impact from hail, falling debris, or improper handling during installation can lead to microcracks.
  • Transportation and Handling: Rough handling during transportation or installation can also cause stress fractures.
While some microcracks are unavoidable, choosing high-quality panels from reputable manufacturers and ensuring careful handling and installation can minimize the risk.

Are solar panel repairs covered by warranty?

Whether or not your solar panel repairs are covered by warranty depends on the specific terms of your warranty and the nature of the damage. Most solar panel manufacturers offer warranties that cover defects in materials and workmanship for a specified period, typically 10-25 years. If a panel fails due to a manufacturing defect, the warranty will likely cover the cost of replacement. However, warranties typically do not cover damage caused by external factors, such as:
  • Severe weather (hail, wind)
  • Falling debris (trees, branches)
  • Improper installation
  • Neglect or lack of maintenance
It's crucial to review your warranty documents carefully to understand what is and is not covered.

What are solar panel ground faults?

A ground fault in a solar panel system occurs when electricity flows outside of its intended path, typically to the ground. This can happen due to:
  • Damaged wiring
  • Faulty connections
  • Water intrusion
  • Other insulation breaches
Ground faults can be dangerous, as they can:
  • Cause electric shock
  • Start a fire
  • Damage equipment
To prevent ground faults:
  • Ensure proper grounding of the system
  • Regularly inspect wiring for damage
  • Address water leaks promptly
Modern solar systems often incorporate ground fault protection devices (GFPDs) that automatically shut off the system in the event of a ground fault, enhancing safety.
