What about inverters that have a mid-position on the toggle switch?

@sdjimbob 2 года назад

Thank you for this video. My inverter had a 2x96 arc fault, and I'd long thought that resetting/restarting the inverter was simply turning the black knob to off and then on. This didn't help clear the arc fault, but when I followed your steps (first inverter small switch to off, then black knob to off, then inverter breaker to off), once everything was turned back on, the inverter booted, the error is cleared, and I'm feeding power to the grid again. My solar installer is long out of business, and SolarEdge support is non-existent to customers in my situation--they will only work with you via who they consider licensed/authorized installers/electricians, and the majority of these only work with customers they installed solar for.

Thanks for this very helpful video, My inverter is still showing an error but at least I know I gave it a shot. By the way, one additional point that some might not realize: there is a green button on the bottom of the box that turns the screen on for 15 seconds or so; to me I looked like a bolt cover, but now I know it's a button that lets you see error codes and what the thing is doing. Thanks again.

@cesenarwarren2984 17 дней назад

Hello, your video was very informative. At first I had a blank screen. Now I have an error code 153.. HW Error.. by any chance can you tell me what that means?

@jswindell2288 3 года назад

Thanks for this, tried to troubleshoot but my system still says 0.0 power and there's no error message..at least I gave it a shot!

@joseponcedeleon4866 Месяц назад

I just reset mine the way you said ,but for some reason I can not see the meter it is pretty much blacked out

@abcxyz1797 Год назад

Thanks. I didn’t know about that last lever you pulled, being the same as turning off the electrical breaker. My inverter is 7 years old, and I can no longer read the screen. I’m waiting (almost 3 weeks), for a technician to come out. Electricity is up 64%, this winter, and I’m not producing solar power. 😢

@conniemattis4491 2 года назад

So helpful. After a recent outage, our inverter had a red Fault light and we waited for service for several days. Finding this video was a quick solution and we are back getting power.

@josephking6515 Год назад

If you have a Fault light you can also turn off the big round switch, remove the 6 x 5mm hex bolts in the lower unit and make sure the circuit breaker in the inverter is turned on. It can pop off and that can give an *Error 3x6E* .

@AdrianYM 2 года назад

I did the hard reset after a power outage we had recently that tripped the breaker. Everything powers on as normal but its simply not producing any energy. Any thoughts on what it could be?

@chris76-01 26 дней назад

@@ankushgoyal8302 no, I ended up having the inverter replaced. Working again now 👍

@DarrellEstalive 4 дня назад

So i followed the steps provided, what specifically does it mean if the relays DONT start clicking // take a while to click? Aside from "then it isnt producing power" lol the first time it took maybe 5 minutes to click and i still have no lights on Power production. module communication seems like its light is on but with how dim it is you could also mistake it being on from the light below shining through. I can provide video or photos for anyone interested in helping out we just had a $700-800 electricity bill last month. We have anywhere from 10 to 15 people 4 of them being kids 8-15. While trying to teach the young ones how to save electricity & how to be cost effective when it come to maintaining upkeep on the house. we understand it wont be cheap regardless but having solar panels would help us so much. Knowing theyre just sitting there doing nothing when they could be easing the strain on our pockets is very frustrating. SO if anyone could help with what i need to do to get this thing running before we have no choice but to contact the company to get it back into working order that would be awesome. PLEASE DONT COME AT ME LIKE WE ARE BUMS TRYING TO CHEAP IT OUT INST3AD OF DOING IT "THE RIGHT WAY" WE JUST NEED A LITTLE HELP

@arkrainflood Месяц назад

ADVICE PLEASE. my solaredge inverter when new was essentially silent, now 3 year later it is making a buzzing/humming noise that seems like it has been getting progressively louder. given that the noise was not there before, what should i do? there are NO error messages, beeps, lights and the dashboard seems to show normal operation.

@Scott-iw8yr 2 месяца назад

What if your screen on your inverter is blank/dead? I'm so mad I didn't realize my panels weren't producing solar for the 9 months.

@grooveu1965 2 года назад

Thanks for the video, unfortunately, even with your steps followed the solaredge system installed by the former resident in our recently purchased home appears to have no power and blank screen. The original installers were no help and were going to charge $$$.00 to set up coms due to T-mobile 3g sunset issues. Problem is, I don't wish to sink any funds into a system that is not working and has zero support. Now I'm debating whether to just change out the inverter with a new model by a different manufacturer , one that has easy learn curve and programming and quality service.

@RCRoads Год назад

Thanks for sharing the restart process. You did a great job explaining the sequence and were straight to the point. Awesome ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

After SetApp updates the firmware, does the Commission process have to be repeated every time?

Hello, I noticed the SolarEdge Inverter SE7600H-US with and without little Screen Monitor, I also noticed a few of my Neighboor has the SE7600H-US inverter unit without screen monitor. So the SolarEdge Inverter SE7600H-US with, or without little Screen Monitor is the newest model, 2022? Thank you.

@jessicadalske8018 2 года назад

I have that model with the screen from 2018. Bought a home because it had solar and now have no way of knowing if it’s working. My screen display is blank unfortunately. Wish I could call this guy/company to come out ;). Thankfully mine is still under warranty.

@grooveu1965 2 года назад

@@jessicadalske8018 Likewise Jessica, we too bought a home that was equipped with Solaredge inverter. Mine is also under warranty but zero help from Solaredge or original installer. Blank screen regardless of numerous reset process. Original installer wants to charge us hundreds now just to get the system to communicate w/power co. Now I'm debating whether to just change out the inverter with a new model by a different manufacturer, one that has a good warranty, easy learn curve and programming and quality service. (See my reply above for more info). Like to know what you did to resolve.

@mrob5278 7 месяцев назад

So I have solaredge panels…..on my app zero production since 1/24/24. Could this reset possibly fix my issue?? Had the sys 5 years and never a problem…..thank you! Anyone feel free to chime in. Ty.

@philiploizides4366 2 года назад

Thank you, very informative video. Could I please ask a related question, my original (old) system had 12 panels/optimisers. I have now replaced the panels with 10 more powerful ones meaning only 10 optimisers are being used. However, the monitoring system still shows 12 optimisers. Do I need to restart my inverter for it to update my configuration.

@chris76-01 4 месяца назад

That won't help. The layout was programed in by whoever installed the system so you'd have to have special access to that feature through an installer. It'll show your new panels along with the old ones in logical view.

@rsimcox 6 месяцев назад

Our problem seems to be that it's producing power, and I can log in and see my individual panels are working. But the dashboard shows no info. No daily production. They had to replace a board recently and though the panels work the data can't be seen.

Something I found on I see lot of these people mentioning photovoltaic breakers in their meter box I have no such thing my meter is mounted to a 4x4 post about 80 ft away from my house it does have slots for breakers in it but only has a main disconnect in a 240 disconnect for like my dryer and oven when they set my system up they wired directly underneath the meter then out to a fused emergency disconnect from there to the solar array to a 100 amp breaker box that sits in between my inverters then out from the breaker box to the inverters which are SolarEdge HD wave 11400's.

@walkinaxyl Год назад

I don’t have that switch, the first one you turned off. I get an E031 relay issue code. My inverters are about 10 years old. Is that first switch newer?

@danwesson1934 2 года назад

When I did this is caused my tv to start and my alarm system to beep like a power surge….is this normals? I didn’t wait thirty seconds to turn the black switch to off after initially the toggle selector to off. Besides that I followed your procedure as described. Thanks

@jingw4411 2 года назад

@zzalehaa 2 года назад

Hi Brandon: quick question, I don't have the service disconnect switch that you pulled, but I do have a breaker box and it has 4 switches -- 2 labeled service disconnect and 2 labeled solar panel. Should I turn off the 2 that are labeled service disconnect. Thank you again for this simple way to trouble shoot my system.

Thank you so much! Very helpful! My system is relatively new installed in September and didn't realize it was off for 2 months. My sce bill were high like before installation Hopefully, now that it's workin,g, my Edison bill will be much lower. I tried chatting at the website, nobody there. No way to contact solaredge at all! Even the agent ! So thank you so much.

@Scott-iw8yr 2 месяца назад

I just realized mine hasn't been producing for 9 months. I didn't think much of the higher bill because our electric company increased our rates and I got an EV.

Cheers this was super helpful! We are getting ready for storms so I wanted to know how to reset just in case.

If I wanted to change out my solar edge inverter, but with another inverter brand, what would you suggest?

@chris76-01 4 месяца назад

Solar edge was made for solar edge panels/optimizers so if you wanted to change brands, you'd have to find something compatible or that can retrofit.

Beware of power optimizers unless you don't care about radio Interference for you and/or your neighbors. FCC does not require manufacturers to install RF filters on new installations
