Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

 

a

 

non-operating

 

Microinverter

There

 

are

 

two

 

possible

 

overall

 

areas

 

of

 

trouble:

A.

 

The

 

Microinverter

 

itself

 

may

 

be

 

having

 

problems.

B.

 

The

 

Microinverter

 

itself

 

is

 

working

 

fine

 

but

 

it

 

is

 

having

 

trouble

communicating

 

with

 

the

 

ECD.

 

The

 

items

 

below

 

refer

 

to

 

Microinverter

 

issues,

 

not

 

communication

 

issues

 

(addressed

 

in

 

the

 

ECD

 

manual).

A

 

quick

 

way

 

to

 

tell

 

whether

 

the

 

issue

 

is

 

the

 

Microinverter

 

or

 

a

communication

 

problem

 

with

 

the

 

ECD:

1.

 

Diagnosing

 

from

 

the

 

Microinverter:

 

A

 

red

 

light

 

 

either

 

blinking

or

 

solid

 

on

 

the

 

Microinverter,

 

or

 

no

 

light

 

at

 

all.

 

No

 

light,

 

or

 

a

 

red

 

light,

 

means

 

it

 

is

 

definitely

 

a

 

Microinverter

 

problem.

2.

 

Diagnosing

 

from

 

the

 

ECD:

a.

 

No-Data-Display:

 

This

 

is

 

probably

 

a

 

communication

 

issue-

 

not

 

a

Microinverter

 

problem.

b.

 

Problems

 

with

 

erratic

 

display:

 

Data

 

is

 

displayed

 

for

 

some

 

period

and

 

then

 

no

 

data

 

is

 

displayed:

 

most

 

likely

 

a

 

communication

 

issue.

c.

 

0

 

watts,

 

or

 

2

 

watts:

 

Possibly

 

a

 

Microinverter

 

problem

d.

 

Erratic

 

data

 

display

 

that

 

is

 

not

 

coordinating

 

with

 

data

 

displays

from

 

other

 

units:

 

most

 

likely

 

a

 

Microinverter

 

problem.

To

 

troubleshoot

 

a

 

non-operating

  

Microinverter,

 

Follow

the

 

steps

 

below

 

in

 

order:

1.

 

Verify

 

the

 

utility

 

voltage

 

and

 

frequency

 

are

 

within

 

ranges

 

shown

in

 

the

 

Technical

 

Data

 

section

 

of

 

this

 

manual.

2.

 

Check

 

the

 

connection

 

to

 

the

 

utility

 

grid.

 

Verify

 

utility

 

power

 

is

present

 

at

 

the

 

inverter

 

in

 

question

 

by

 

removing

 

AC,

 

then

 

DC

power.

 

Never

 

disconnect

 

the

 

DC

 

wires

 

while

 

the

 

microinverter

 

is

 

producing

 

power.

 

Re-connect

 

the

 

DC

 

module

 

connectors

 

and

 

watch

 

for

 

three

 

short

 

LED

 

flashes.

3.

 

Check

 

the

 

AC

 

branch

 

circuit

 

interconnection

 

between

 

all

 

the

microinverters.

 

Verify

 

each

 

inverter

 

is

 

energized

 

by

 

the

 

utility

 

grid

as

 

described

 

in

 

the

 

previous

 

step.

4.

 

Make

 

sure

 

that

 

any

 

AC

 

breaker

 

are

 

functioning

 

properly

 

and

 

are

closed.

5.

 

Check

 

the

 

DC

 

connections

 

between

 

the

 

microinverter

 

and

 

the

 

PV

module.

6.

 

Verify

 

the

 

PV

 

module

 

DC

 

voltage

 

is

 

within

 

the

 

allowable

 

range

 

shown

in

 

the

 

Technical

 

Data

 

of

 

this

 

manual.

7.

 

If

 

the

 

problem

 

persists,

 

please

 

call

 

Customer

 

Support.

WARNING:

 

Do

 

not

 

attempt

 

to
