Microinverter System Trouble Shooting Guide 

 

Leave troubleshooting to qualified electrical professionals. 

 

 

 

Do not unplug the microinverter during operation. This may damage the 

microinverter and expose the operator to electrical hazard.  First open the AC 

circuit breaker; then disconnect the AC grid; then unplug the inverter from the PV 

module.  (To disconnect the entire system from the AC grid, open the main 

circuit breaker. To disconnect a particular AC branch circuit, open the circuit 

breaker connected to that branch.) 

 

 

Please follow the steps below for troubleshooting system problems:

 

 

1.  Make sure the AC grid voltage and frequency are both in the allowed range for proper operation.  

Refer to the microinverter datasheet for the accepted AC grid conditions.

 

2.  Check the connection of the system. Disconnect the AC side and then the DC input side of the 

microinverter. 

 

3.  Check the PV module open circuit voltage. The open-circuit voltage of PV module should stay in the 

range specified in the microinverter datasheet.

 

4.  Reconnect the DC side cable and check the LED status of the microinverter. If the green LED light is 

flashing, the DC connection is good. 

 

5.  Check the AC grid side connection.  If the entire system doesn’t work, check the main AC circuit 

breaker. For a particular branch problem, check the AC circuit breaker connected to that branch. For a 

particular microinverter problem in a branch, check the AC cable connection of that microinverter. If the 

LED is solid green after blinking 10 times, the grid connection is good. 

 

 

 

Do Not attempt to repair the microinverter. This will void the warranty and can 

bring electrical hazard to those attempting it.    Contact LeadSolar customer 

support to initiate an inverter return process.
