Solar System Troubleshooting Guide

At Sona Solar Zimbabwe, we're your partners in solar power. While our systems are built for reliability, occasional issues can arise. If your solar inverter isn't charging your batteries, this guide will help you identify common culprits before you need to call an expert.

Troubleshooting a solar inverter with Sona Solar Zimbabwe

Solar System Troubleshooting with Sona Solar Zimbabwe

Step 1: Simple Checks You Can Do Yourself

Check Your Breakers: Ensure all breakers related to your solar system (including the main switch, inverter, and solar array breakers) are in the 'ON' position.
Check the Inverter Display: Look at your inverter’s screen. Are there any error codes, warning lights, or unusual readings? This is often the first clue.
Observe the Weather: Is it a heavily overcast or rainy day? On cloudy days, solar production will be significantly lower, which can result in slow or minimal charging.

If these simple checks don't solve the problem, you can move on to the most common causes below.

Step 2: Common Causes and Solutions

Insufficient Battery Charging

Scenario: This can occur if your solar panels don't generate enough power to both run your appliances and charge the battery bank. This is most common on cloudy days or if your energy usage is higher than usual.

Solution: On cloudy days, prioritize essential appliances (like lights and refrigerators) to allow the panels to maximize battery charging. If this happens frequently, you may need to expand your solar panel array. Our team can assess your setup and recommend a cost-effective upgrade.

Damaged or Old Battery Bank

A compromised or aging battery within the bank can affect the entire system's ability to store power. It might not hold a charge or may discharge too quickly.

Solution: Sona Solar Zimbabwe offers comprehensive maintenance, including battery bank health checks. We can test your batteries, identify any problem cells, and replace them if necessary to revitalize your system and extend its overall lifespan.

Faulty Solar Panel

While solar panels are very durable, they can be damaged by external factors like lightning, severe weather, or accidental impact. A defective panel won't generate enough electricity to charge the batteries efficiently.

Solution: Our technicians can inspect your solar panels for damage or defects. If a panel is damaged beyond repair, we can replace it with a high-quality model to ensure your system continues to generate the clean energy you need.
