What happens if I damage one solar panel on my roof?
If you damage one solar panel on your roof, the impact on the overall performance of the solar panel system will depend on the size and configuration of the system. In general, if one solar panel is damaged, the overall performance of the system will be reduced, but the other panels will continue to generate electricity.
The amount of electricity generated by a solar panel system is determined by the size and capacity of the system, as well as the amount of sunlight that the panels receive. When one panel is damaged, the system will still be able to generate electricity, but the overall output of the system will be reduced.
If the damaged panel is a part of a larger system, the impact on the overall performance of the system may be minimal. For example, if a system consists of 20 panels and one panel is damaged, the overall performance of the system may only be reduced by about 5%. However, if the system consists of only a few panels, the impact of a damaged panel may be more significant.
In summary, the impact on the overall performance of the system will depend on the size and configuration of the system, and the amount of electricity generated by the system may be reduced by a small amount.
