The Hidden Cost of Solar Faults
❌ One broken panel can cost you $500+ per year in lost energy.
❌ Most solar owners only discover faults during annual service -months too late.
❌ Inverter monitoring alone shows you data, but doesn't tell you what's wrong or how your system is performing.
❌ Factors like weather, shading, and seasonal changes make it difficult to spot problems by looking at charts.Solar Buddy provides instant clarity by automatically detecting when your system underperforms and alerting you immediately - not in 6 months when the technician arrives.
How Solar Buddy Detects Faults Automatically
Unlike basic monitoring that just shows you charts, Solar Buddy uses intelligent algorithms that account for weather, shading, and seasonal variations to assess exactly how your system is performing.Solar Buddy automatically detects:✓ Inverter failures and disconnections

✓ Gradual efficiency loss over time
