Canadian Solar — inverter efficiency loss
If your Canadian Solar panels are paired with a failing inverter, the panels themselves may be fine — the inverter is the bottleneck. Check your inverter's age and compare its output to rated capacity before assuming panel-level issues.
Inverter efficiency loss details
Degradation or malfunction in the inverter reducing DC-to-AC conversion efficiency. Often indicated by error codes or unexpected shutdowns.
Self-check tip:
Check your inverter display for error codes or red/amber warning lights. Compare current output to the inverter's rated capacity.
