What are the common problems of a solar power system?

Here are the most common problems affecting solar panels:

  • Delamination and internal corrosion. If moisture finds its way into the panel, it can cause internal corrosion.
  • Electrical issues. Faulty wiring prevents your solar panels from performing well.
  • Micro-cracks.
  • Hot spots.
  • PID effect.
  • Birds.
  • Snail trails.
  • Roof issues.

Why do I lose power when I have solar panels?

When your panels are producing more electricity than you’re using, the extra electricity is pushed onto the electric grid. In order to protect the utility workers and the grid itself, all grid-tied solar energy inverters are required to automatically shut down when the grid goes down and the power goes off.
