That's strange. Is it nighttime or stormy weather, or your solar panel somehow not getting direct sunlight? A single solar panel does produce 1 EU/t during the daytime, and while a compressor does require 2 EU/t to function at full capacity, it should be running at 50% capacity.

My other theory is that the cable you are running from your solar panel to the compressor is too long for its material type. For example, if you were using a 6 block long line of copper cabling from the solar panel to the compressor, the cable would experience a loss of 1 EU/t, meaning that 0 EU/t would be getting to the compressor. Tin Cables work well in conjunction with solar panels, due to their very low loss, but don't experience overcurrent from up to 5 solar panels.
