What happens when one solar panel stops producing?

It doesn’t always mean your entire system stops working.

Depending on how your system is designed, the rest of your panels may continue producing normally while one panel — or the inverter connected to it — has an issue.

That’s one reason solar monitoring is so important. Problems like failed microinverters, communication issues, wiring problems, or an underperforming panel can sometimes go unnoticed.

Already have solar and something doesn’t look right?

Star Solar Specialists provides solar troubleshooting, service, and repair throughout Southern Indiana and the Louisville area — even for systems installed by another company.

Can You Add Battery Backup to an Existing Solar System?

In many cases, yes.

You don’t necessarily need a brand-new solar installation to add battery storage to your home. Many existing solar systems can be evaluated for a battery retrofit, allowing homeowners to store energy and have backup power available during a utility outage.

At Star Solar Specialists, we work with existing solar systems throughout Southern Indiana and the Louisville, Kentucky area to determine whether battery storage can be added and what equipment makes the most sense for the home.

A battery retrofit may involve evaluating:

• Your existing solar panels and inverter system
• Your home's electrical service
• Current and future energy needs
• Which circuits you want backed up during an outage
• Available space for battery equipment
• Compatibility between the existing solar system and new battery equipment

Every home and solar system is different, which is why we evaluate the existing equipment before recommending a solution.

We install and service home battery backup systems, including FranklinWH and Sol-Ark equipment, and we can work with many solar systems that were originally installed by another company.

Serving Jeffersonville, Clarksville, New Albany, Sellersburg, Floyds K***s and surrounding Southern Indiana communities, as well as the Louisville, Kentucky area.

☀️ Is Your Solar System Actually Producing What It Should?

Solar panels can last for decades, but that doesn’t mean every part of a solar system will operate perfectly for its entire life.

Inverters can fail. Microinverters can stop communicating. Monitoring systems can go offline. Wiring and connections can develop problems. And sometimes a homeowner doesn’t realize there’s an issue until they notice a change in their electric bill.

At Star Solar Specialists, we troubleshoot and repair existing solar systems — including systems installed by other solar companies.

If your original installer is no longer in business, your monitoring isn’t showing what it should, or you simply aren’t sure whether your system is producing properly, we can help diagnose the problem and determine what needs to be done.

Is Solar Worth Considering for a Business? ☀️🏢

Commercial buildings can be excellent candidates for solar—especially businesses with significant daytime electricity usage and large, unobstructed roof space.

But commercial solar isn't simply residential solar on a bigger roof.

A properly designed commercial solar system starts with understanding how and when the business uses electricity. Annual energy consumption, daytime demand, available roof or ground space, utility requirements, electrical service and the goals of the business all factor into the design.

Commercial solar can be considered for many types of properties, including:

☀️ Warehouses and manufacturing facilities
☀️ Offices and retail buildings
☀️ Farms and agricultural operations
☀️ Shops and service businesses
☀️ Churches and other facilities
☀️ Other commercial properties with substantial electricity usage

Every property is different, which is why system sizing and expected production should be evaluated specifically for that business—not based on a generic solar package.

Star Solar Specialists has been designing, installing and servicing residential and commercial solar systems since 2015, serving businesses and property owners throughout Southern Indiana and the Louisville Metro area.

What Happens to Your Solar Panels When the Power Goes Out? ☀️⚡

One of the most common misconceptions about solar is that having panels automatically means you'll have power during a utility outage.

With a standard grid-tied solar system, that's usually not the case.

When the utility grid goes down, a traditional grid-tied solar system is designed to shut down as a safety measure. This helps prevent electricity from being sent back onto utility lines while crews may be working to restore power.

So how do you keep the lights on?

That's where battery backup comes in. 🔋

A properly designed solar + battery system can disconnect from the utility grid during an outage and use stored energy—and, depending on the system design, available solar production—to continue powering designated loads in your home.

How much of the home can be backed up depends on several factors, including battery capacity, household energy usage, equipment configuration and which loads are considered essential.

Star Solar Specialists designs, installs, repairs and upgrades solar and battery systems throughout Southern Indiana and the Louisville Metro area. We can also evaluate many existing solar systems for battery backup—even if we weren't the original installer.

We've been helping homeowners and businesses with solar energy systems since 2015.

Do Solar Panels Work on Cloudy Days? ☁️☀️

Yes. Solar panels still produce electricity when it's cloudy—they just typically produce less than they would under direct sunlight.

Solar panels generate electricity from sunlight, not heat. Even when the sky is overcast, sunlight is still reaching the panels and allowing the system to produce energy.

This is also why we don't judge a solar system's potential based on one sunny—or cloudy—day.

When Star Solar Specialists designs a solar system, we look at expected production throughout the year. Roof orientation, shading, panel placement, historical weather conditions and the home's actual electricity usage all help determine how a system should be designed.

Here in Southern Indiana and the Louisville Metro area, we experience everything from bright summer days to cloudy winter weather. A properly designed solar system takes those seasonal changes into account.

Solar isn't about producing the exact same amount of electricity every day. It's about what the system can produce over the course of the year.

Star Solar Specialists has been designing, installing and servicing residential and commercial solar systems since 2015.

How Many Solar Panels Does Your Home Actually Need? ☀️

The answer shouldn't start with the size of your roof—it should start with how much electricity your home actually uses.

When designing a solar system, we look at your historical electric usage to determine how many kilowatt-hours your household uses throughout the year. From there, factors like roof orientation, available space, shading, panel wattage and local weather conditions all affect how much electricity a solar array can realistically produce.

Two homes that look nearly identical from the street can need very different solar systems.

That's also why a good solar estimate shouldn't simply try to fit as many panels as possible on your roof. The goal is to design a system around your actual energy needs and what you're trying to accomplish.

Star Solar Specialists designs residential and commercial solar systems throughout Southern Indiana and the Louisville Metro area. We've been helping homeowners and businesses evaluate, install and maintain solar energy systems since 2015.

Can You Add a Battery to an Existing Solar System? 🔋☀️

Yes—in many cases, you can.

You don't necessarily need to replace your existing solar panels or start over with an entirely new system to add battery backup to your home.

The first step is evaluating the solar equipment you already have. The age of the system, inverter or microinverter type, electrical configuration, available space, household loads, and what you actually want to power during an outage all play a role in determining the best battery solution.

Some homeowners want backup for essentials like refrigerators, lights, internet and well pumps. Others are looking for a larger battery system capable of supporting much more of the home.

That's why we don't believe battery storage should be one-size-fits-all.

Star Solar Specialists installs battery backup systems and evaluates existing solar installations throughout Southern Indiana and the Louisville Metro area—including solar systems originally installed by other companies.

Whether you're considering adding battery storage to your current solar system or starting with a new solar + battery installation, we can help determine what makes sense for your home.

What happens when your solar installer is no longer in business?

Unfortunately, many homeowners throughout Southern Indiana and the Louisville area are finding themselves in exactly that situation. Their solar panels are still on the roof, but the original installer has closed, stopped servicing the area, or simply isn't responding.

The good news: you don't necessarily need the original installer to get your solar system working properly again.

Star Solar Specialists provides solar repair, troubleshooting and service for existing residential and commercial solar systems — including systems we did not originally install.

Common issues we can help investigate include:

☀️ Solar panels that have stopped producing
☀️ Inverter or microinverter faults
☀️ Monitoring systems that are offline
☀️ Individual panels showing little or no production
☀️ Communication and connectivity problems
☀️ System performance that doesn't match expectations
☀️ Existing solar systems that need battery storage added

We've been working with solar systems throughout Southern Indiana and the Louisville Metro area since 2015, and our work doesn't stop when the installation is complete.

Whether you're looking for a new solar installation, battery backup, or help with an existing solar system, we're here to help.
