Solar System Diagnosis in Austin

Production down and nobody can tell you why? We start with a full diagnostic — array, inverter, wiring, monitoring and utility side — and give you a written answer before anyone quotes you a repair.

Top Four Reasons Systems Underperform

  • Something Failed and Nothing Told YouMost underproduction is a dead microinverter, optimizer or string that has been out for months. Without working monitoring there is nothing to notice.
  • Shade That Was Not There at InstallTrees grow. An array designed on an open roof in 2018 can be losing its best afternoon hours to a live oak by now.
  • Soiling and Heat Look the Same on a BillDirty panels and high-temperature derating both show up as a summer dip. They have different fixes and they get confused constantly.
  • It Was Never Producing What It Was Sold AsSome systems never met the proposal. Undersized inverters, bad string design or optimistic modeling, and nobody checked after commissioning.

Top Four Solutions to This Problem

  • Measure the Array, Not the AppClamp meter and IV readings on the real conductors. Portals report what they are told, and what they are told is sometimes wrong.
  • Compare Against What It Should MakeWe model expected output for your specific array, orientation and season, so we are measuring against a real number instead of a feeling.
  • Isolate It String by StringWe work down from the array to the individual panel until the loss has an address, rather than replacing components hopefully.
  • Give You the Findings and the CostWritten diagnosis with what failed, what it costs to fix and what it is worth in production. Yours whether or not we do the repair.
