Weekly Power Run Time
Trouble Shooting
Battery are not charging.
Check your controller and battery first of allmake sure it’s a workable 12V battery
(or 24V while with the charge controller model NPCC11 / NPCC13 / NPCC20). battery voltage
should not lower than 11V(12V battery) / 22V(24V battery).
Faulty connections
The wires should always be water tight and insulated. Poor wiring may cause loose connections,
corrosion and oxidation of the wires. Voltage levels at various parts of your connection can be
checked by a multimeter to help you find out the points at which low voltage problems start. Do not
connect the solar power to the controller during the solar power voltage check.
Solar panel faults
This condition is not common as most of the solar panels are able to sustain harsh weather
conditions and last for a long period of time. Checking on your solar panels is also advised as
the last resort. The main defects a solar panel may experience are: Delamination, junction
box faults ( increased resistance in the junction boxes due to exposure to moisture).
Low power output from Solar panel / Battery charging slow.
Shading
Shading should always be avoided at all times. Shading causes massive loss of power output
and solar panels need high exposure to sun light so as to produce high power outputs. One
should always make sure that there are no tree branches blocking the solar panels from direct
sunlight. Dust and debris also causes shading. Solar panels should always be cleaned to
prevent dust and debris particles from causing shading on the solar panels.
