Ignoring shade from water tanks, trees, or adjacent buildings is the most common sizing error. Micro-inverters or optimisers help but cannot fix fundamentally bad layouts.
Cheap mounting structures corrode in rain and wind; inadequate DC cable sizing causes heat losses and fire risk over time.
Luxsun uses engineered mounting, IP-rated combiner boxes, and MNRE-compliant installation practices on every project.
