Solar Power Dysfunction During Renovation
When renovating a home with a solar system, temporary disruptions or dysfunctions can occur due to:
1. Electrical Interruptions
- Shutting off circuits, moving panels, or rewiring can temporarily stop solar output.
2. Physical Obstruction
- Dust, debris, scaffolding, or roofing materials may block sunlight on panels.
3. Inverter or Connection Issues
- Loose wiring, disconnection from the main panel, or inverter faults can prevent power flow.
4. Battery Storage Interference
- If you have solar batteries, temporary disconnection or overloads during construction may prevent charging or discharge.
5. Safety Measures
- Always turn off solar breakers before roofing or electrical work.
- Ensure contractors know the solar layout to avoid accidental damage.
- Monitor the inverter after work to check for error codes.
Tip: Plan renovation phases around your solar system. Use temporary off-grid solutions if electricity is needed during construction.
