doesn’t work despite| Loose connection| Reconnect
sufficient sunlight| Bad soldering of wires inside the junction box| Contact us
Solar panel malfunction| Contact us
r
Low power output| Loose connection| Reconnect
Wrong tilt angle| Adjust the angle to capture direct sunlight
Shadow| Remove any shadow covering the panel
| Accumulation of dust| Clean, best on a regular basis
High operating temperature| Ensure sufficient air circulation beneath the panels; add more panels in series to increase the string voltage
