Here are the top four reasons your solar panels aren't working
In our many years of doing this, we’ve seen the same kinds of problems with broken solar panels crop up time and time again. Here are some of the most common:
1. The Inverter is no longer working
This is the most common cause of solar panels no longer working. As with every piece of electrical equipment, an inverter will simply stop working after an extended period of time. It will just need replacing.
2. A faulty solar generation meter
It might be that the solar meter is unable to read solar energy production correctly. Again, this is something that happens over time - usually due to the technology becoming obsolete. For example, solar meters that were built using the 2G standard will no longer work in 4G/5G areas.
Whether it’s outdated software, a software glitch, or malfunctioning hardware, it’s an easy fix. We’ll simply replace it with a meter that is up-to-date with the most current cellular protocols.
3. A faulty termination
Over time, a termination may come loose and burn out. We can swap the burned-out part and re-terminate correctly. Serious burnouts could cause severe damage to your solar panels if not noticed.
4. Broken panels
In the worst-case scenario, the solar panels themselves may be damaged, causing them to produce little or no power. But fear not - we’ll get up there and sort it out.

In the meantime, here are 3 simple things you can do in the meantime to double-check.
Power Checked?
- It may seem simple but check all the power switches, including the AC and DC isolators. If they’re off, flick ‘em on. Most issues can occur when a switch has been accidentally turned off.
Breakers Checked?
- Check the MCB (Micro Circuit Breaker) and RCD (Residual-Current Device) trip switches. The breakers may have tripped for whatever reason - usually if a tradesman has been round to do some work. Again, if they’re off, flick ‘em on.
Turned it off and on again?
- “Have you tried turning it off and on again?” - sorry to be that guy, but it might just do the trick. Turn all the switches off, leave them for 30 seconds, and then turn them back on again.
Beyond that, it’s going to require a trained and experienced technician to troubleshoot the problem and provide the appropriate fix. We STRONGLY recommend that you don’t attempt any technical fixes yourself; working with high-voltage electrical equipment comes with obvious risks. Plus, by attempting solar DIY, you could end up nullifying your panel’s warranty coverage!
