How to Check If Your Solar PV System Is Working

Once your solar PV panels have been installed on your roof and started to produce electricity it is highly unlikely that they will develop a fault. The cause of almost all PV system failures is a broken inverter. To check for faults follow these two steps:

• Check the LED lights on your generation meter. If your red light is continually on, IN DAYLIGHT HOURS, your system will need maintenance.

• Check the LED screen on your inverter. It may display a message or error code to highlight a fault.

• For any other concerns, please talk to us on 01473 727 727.
