First, make sure you're not using the RedPower Solar Panel and you are using the Industrial Craft Solar Panel. Second, make sure it's sunny out (obvious, it would seem, but many people miss this point).

Third, how far is your Solar Panel from your Macerator? If it's too far away (even a dozen blocks or so will be too far) you may be losing too much power just from the distance it has to travel. Fourth, a single Solar Panel barely has enough power to run a Macerator, so if anything else is running (even a Luminator) it may not be able to keep up. Adding a BatBox would help, but as soon as the BatBox runs dry your Macerator will slow to a crawl. Best to let the BatBox juice up, or better yet get an MFE.

You need MOAR POWER. :)
