Do You Know How Well Your Solar is Working?
By Creative Energies Solar
Fall weather and recent storms are good reminders to verify your solar power system monitoring. Regularly monitoring your system can ensure it is working properly and allows you to see how much electricity (kilowatt-hours) your array is producing.
5 Tips for Verifying Solar Performance
- Check your monitoring system (likely SolarEdge or Enlighten) online from your computer or via your phone app
- Look for and clear debris (snow, tree branches, and leaves can affect energy output)
- Inspect your inverter (if you see a red light or suspect something may be wrong, contact us)
- Watch your electric bills for unexpected increases in billing
- Check the weather (solar modules do work on cloudier days, but when it's overcast, your modules will have some reduction in energy output)
