There are various reasons your roof could leak after installing solar panels. They mostly have to do with poor installation where mounting holes are not sealed properly, the top is incompatible with solar panels, or the roof is old and not designed for solar panels.
If you’ve noticed water leaking from your solar tube, there are a few possible explanations. First, check to see if the leak is coming from the top or bottom of the tube. If it’s coming from the top, it could be due to condensation. This is especially common in humid climates. To fix this problem, simply wipe away the water as needed.
Then, apply a generous amount of clear silicone sealant around the area and smooth it out with your finger. The sealant will dry quickly, so make sure you work quickly and carefully! If the leak is still present after sealing up the area around it, you may need to replace the entire solar tube.
Another common cause of leaks is damage to the flashing or sealant around the skylight. If the flashing or sealant is damaged, water can seep in and cause leaks. Inspect the flashing and sealant regularly and repair any damage as soon as possible. 3. Another potential cause of leaks is condensation inside the sun tunnel itself.
Solar tubes are a type of solar energy system. They are typically used to heat water or to produce electricity. Solar tubes are not known to cause roof leaks. How Do You Repair a Solar Tube? Solar tube skylights are a great way to add natural light to your home, but like any other type of skylight, they can develop leaks over time.
Solar tube skylights are a great way to add natural light to your home, but like any other type of skylight, they can develop leaks over time. If you’ve noticed a leak in your solar tube, don’t despair – there are ways to fix it! To start, you’ll need to locate the source of the leak.

Earth leakage and Inverter
I have been having some interesting problems with my earth leakage since I have installed my solar system. Large inrush currents (2.5kw+) sometimes trip the earth leakage. What I have managed to find so far is that pure sine wave inverters have a capacitor between the neutral and earth, which causes a floating neutral. This may interfere with ...
