Is your solar still producing?
Type in the kWh your monitoring app shows and see how it compares with what a system like yours typically makes where you live. It takes about two minutes. You don't need an account or an email address.
Results are estimates built from a typical weather year and the numbers you enter. They are not an inspection or a diagnosis of your system.
Where is the system?
We use your location only to look up typical sunlight there. With a street address we can also show your roof.
Include the city and state, or the ZIP code.
About your system
Your contract and your monitoring app have most of this.
Often listed as kW DC.
The watts per panel are printed on the panel label and in your contract.
Read from satellite data. Change it if you know better.
This only changes the next steps we show you.
Your numbers
Use the number your app shows for energy produced.
A lifetime total is sometimes shown in MWh. 1 MWh is 1,000 kWh.
Your result
Solrova is not a licensed solar contractor, electrician, or engineer, and does not inspect, diagnose, or repair solar systems. The information above is general and educational — it is not advice about your specific system. Solar equipment carries high-voltage electricity that can cause serious injury; never attempt electrical troubleshooting or open any equipment. Always consult a licensed solar technician, electrician, or your equipment manufacturer before making decisions about your system.
How we estimate: typical production comes from PVWatts, a model from the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR, formerly NREL), using a typical weather year and 14% system losses. Each year of age takes 0.5% off, the median of about 2,000 measured rates in an NLR review of solar panel degradation (Jordan and Kurtz, 2013). Weather moves real results around the typical year. NLR found that in an average location about one year in ten comes in 5% or more below typical (2015). A single month varies far more, most in winter (NLR, 2020), so one-month checks allow a wider range, widest from November to February. A lifetime total counts this month up to today.
