Why are my solar panels not producing? Four checks before you call for solar repair in Atlanta
EKO Solar Pros · Solar repair and troubleshooting · Metro Atlanta · Updated 2026-09-21
If your solar panels are not producing, check four things first: the inverter light, the solar breaker, the disconnect switch beside the inverter and your monitoring app. A red, orange or dark inverter light, a breaker that keeps tripping, or a flat line in the app all point to a fault. If the system is still down, EKO Solar Pros provides solar diagnostics, troubleshooting and repair for home solar systems across metro Atlanta.
What does a red or orange light on my solar inverter mean?
A red light, an orange light or no light at all on the inverter points to a fault in the system. It is the first thing to look at when your panels stop producing. If the light stays that way, the system needs to be tested to find the cause.
My solar breaker keeps tripping. What should I do?
A solar breaker that keeps tripping needs a technician. Repeated tripping is a sign of a problem in the system rather than a one-time event. EKO Solar Pros can test the system and find what is causing it.
My solar monitoring app shows no data or a flat line. Is my system broken?
No data or a flat line means the system has stopped reporting. Check the inverter light, the solar breaker and the disconnect switch beside the inverter to see whether something is off or faulted. If those look normal and the app still shows nothing, have the system diagnosed.

What can I check myself before calling a solar repair company?
Look at the inverter light, look for a tripped solar breaker, confirm the disconnect switch beside the inverter is in the ON position and open your monitoring app. These four checks show whether something simple was switched off or whether there is a real fault. If the system is still down afterward, call a solar repair technician.
