For those who think the journey to going solar ends once the rooftop solar power panels are installed, we have some news for you! There’s no doubt solar energy systems are low maintenance, reliable energy sources But like anything else, components of a solar system can occasionally malfunction. Solar monitoring helps one find potential malfunctions and fix them before they significantly impact solar production and electricity bills.

While failure in the rooftop solar PV plant can cause a hole in your pocket it can lead to inefficient production. Teqo’s softwares such as SolarPulse help asset owners to optimize the performance of their rooftop solar PV plants, generating more power. We offer a comprehensive solution which includes data acquisition hardware, cloud-based monitoring software and advanced analytics for solar PV plants. This ensures the asset owners that no damage is caused and the operations are run smoothly.

Troubleshoot your solar system

Monitoring your rooftop solar power panel output is a great way to track how well your solar power system performs. It’s an easy way to see the amount of energy you’ve produced and follow the proper power output of your system. Here are a few ways on how to troubleshoot your rooftop solar power panels manually:

1) Check for shade and dust on solar panels

• If your rooftop solar power panels are obstructed by shade or dust, it can lower the sun rays’ consumption. Resulting a shrinkage in energy production.

2) Check the weather 

• If there is a shift in weather from cloudy or rainy days compared to its usual bright and sunny, you may experience a slight decrease in solar energy production. When the weather clears out,  the energy production is restored. 

3) Check your network connection 

• A stable internet connection is a must for real-time monitoring. There is no way to monitor your system remotely if the system loses internet access. 

While the above mentioned issues can be resolved manually, major malfunctions in the solar power plant can be minimized by Teqo’s Remote Solar PV Monitoring System.  Our predictive analytics algorithms and condition-based remote monitoring solution help the plant owners ease up while our analysts take advantage of domain expertise, real-time data monitoring, historical experience and trouble-shooting guide to give timely inputs to the site team to improve plant performance.
