Why is the PV generation low

Why is the PV generation low?

There are many reasons for low power generation, including weather, temperature, shading, inverter, panel orientation, panel angle, etc.

• Weather: Fog, rain, clouds, and bad weather can all cause low power generation.

• Temperature: High or low temperatures can reduce the panels' efficiency and power generation.

• Shading: First, check the site environment, including trees, utility poles, water tanks, clothing, bird droppings, and     the distance between panels. Once the panels are covered, it reduces the efficiency of the entire system.

• Panels: Connecting different solar panels to the exact string is not allowed. Note that a damaged battery panel will     significantly reduce the power generation of the entire system. Replace damaged panels immediately.

• Panel Orientation: Check that the orientation is at the optimum angle. Generally speaking, the highest point of solar power generation is from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm.

• Inverter: Once an inverter crashes, it will not generate electricity. Please check the working status of the inverter.

• Grid: Grid voltage/frequency fluctuation can happen frequently, reliable grid quality is one essential condition to ensure the inverter works smoothly, so please notice that grid fluctuation and frequency fluctuation may all affect the inverter’s power generation, even can cause inverter error, also nearby high-power consumption can affect the inverter’s power generation.
