A solar system should prove its output, not promise it — and the proof stack is simple: metered string tests at commissioning, then continuous app monitoring that turns every underperformance into an early, cheap fix.
Testing at commissioning (what BTECH measures)
Open-circuit voltage and operating current per string (catching miswiring and weak panels before handover), insulation checks on cable runs, breaker and surge-protector verification, battery charge/discharge behaviour, and transfer-speed confirmation on hybrid switchover. You receive a system that measured right, not one that merely switched on.
Monitoring: the owner’s scoreboard
BTECH hybrid systems include monitoring — daily production, battery state, grid draw — visible from your phone. The habit that matters: glance monthly, compare against your expected numbers, and call when a line trends down. Most faults announce themselves in data long before they smell.
When to test out-of-schedule
After lightning storms (surge protectors may have sacrificed — J$6,000 to renew), after hurricanes (visual + torque check), when the JPS bill creeps back up, and before warranty windows close on any component.
FAQ
My production dropped 15% — what is the usual cause?
Dirt first (wash and re-check), then shading changes, then a failing string connection — testable in one visit: 876-777-5488.
Can BTECH test a system another company installed?
Yes — inspections island-wide, with a written findings report.
Do I need my own test meter?
No — the monitoring app plus periodic professional checks cover owners completely.
