Why Is Your Solar Production Lower This Month? Here's What to Check First
Have you noticed a sudden drop in your solar panel performance this month? A 20–30% dip in solar production might seem alarming, but in many cases, it's due to simple, fixable issues. Before you book a professional solar maintenance service, here’s how you can troubleshoot the problem like a pro.
“Investing in solar is a smart decision for long-term savings, energy independence, and sustainability. But like any investment, it's essential to understand the lifespan of each solar component. We’ll break down how long your solar panels, inverters, and mounting structures are expected to last — and how to keep them performing at their best.”
1. Check for Dust or Debris on the Panels
In India, especially in urban or semi-urban areas, dust accumulation is a major culprit behind poor solar panel performance. Even a thin layer of dust, bird droppings, or leaves can reduce efficiency by 10-25%.
✅ Solution: Schedule routine panel cleaning every 2-4 weeks. If you're unsure how to clean panels safely, contact us for solar maintenance.
🌧️ 2. Review Local Weather Conditions
Cloudy days, extended monsoons, or even air pollution can reduce solar output. Compare the number of sunny days this month to last. Lower irradiance due to weather is natural and doesn't indicate a system fault.
✅ Tip: Use your solar app or online weather data to assess monthly sunlight hours in your area.
📲 3. Use Your Solar Monitoring System
Your solar inverter or mobile app is the first place to check for any unusual alerts, errors, or shutdowns. Modern solar systems come with real-time performance dashboards that can alert you to problems like:
Faulty inverter, Grid interruptions, System disconnections
✅ Pro Tip: Always keep your system’s monitoring notifications active.
What to look for:
Proven track record of installations
Transparent pricing and government subsidy support
Post-installation service & monitoring
