Common Problems in PV Installations: What to Watch Out For !!!

The promise of solar energy is immense, but achieving long-term reliability requires more than just quality panels. Improper PV installation practices can lead to serious issues, including system failures and, in the worst cases, fires. Here are some common pitfalls to watch out for:

  • Faulty Connections: Loose or improper wiring can lead to overheating, arcing, and fire hazards.
    Incorrect Inverter Sizing: Mismatched inverters and panels can cause system inefficiency or outright failure.
  • Poor Weatherproofing: Improper sealing can allow water ingress, leading to electrical shorts or corrosion over time.
  • Underrated Components: Using substandard cables, connectors, or breakers can compromise the safety and longevity of the system.
  • Shoddy Workmanship: A lack of attention to detail in mounting panels or routing cables can result in equipment damage or system inefficiency.

At MOVR Solar, we’re committed to addressing these challenges by focusing on quality, safety, and education. Every installation we undertake is backed by meticulous workmanship, robust testing, and industry-standard compliance.
Our vision extends beyond delivering clean energy—we aim to empower our community with knowledge. By fostering solar literacy and upskilling the next generation of installers, we’re building a future where every PV system is safe, efficient, and reliable.
Together, let’s work towards a safer, greener tomorrow.
