Most solar systems are running right now with faults their owners know nothing about.
The data from across the UK makes uncomfortable reading. Here is what is quietly happening on rooftops across Dorset and Hampshire.
of Applied Sciences
Inverters fail before year 15
When an inverter goes your system produces zero electricity. Not reduced. Nothing. No warning light, no error message, no sign from the ground.
Spectrum Energy
Output lost from dirty panels alone
Dust, moss, bird droppings and coastal salt build up invisibly over months. Most homeowners on the South Coast have never had their panels properly cleaned.
Systems UK
Lost every year from a 20% underperforming system
A typical 4kW system losing just 20% output costs between £200 and £400 every single year in missed savings and export payments.
Degradation, 2023
Of UK solar panels have undetected thermal defects
A study of 3.3 million UK panels found over a third had thermal faults and hotspots. Left unchecked these accelerate degradation and in extreme cases present a fire risk.
