Production figures, seasonal changes, and what your panels should be generating.
Why is my electricity bill still high even though I have solar?
Solar reduces the electricity you buy from the grid but does not eliminate it. High evening usage, electric heating, hot water systems, EV charging, and seasonal changes can all affect your bill.
How can I get the best performance from my solar system?
Use electricity during daylight hours when possible, keep panels free from excessive debris, monitor system performance regularly, and report any persistent fault messages promptly.
Why is my generation not producing at my system size?
The system size represents the maximum DC capacity of the solar array under ideal test conditions. Actual production depends on weather conditions, roof orientation, panel temperature, shading, and inverter limitations. For example, east/west-facing systems rarely achieve their full rated output because both roof faces do not receive peak sunlight simultaneously.
Why is my system not generating power early in the morning or late in the evening?
Solar panels require sufficient sunlight to operate effectively. Low light levels at sunrise and sunset often result in little or no production.
Why is my solar system producing less power than usual?
Solar production varies throughout the year and can be affected by weather, cloud cover, dirt on panels, shading from trees, and shorter daylight hours during winter.
