7. Troubleshooting
- No Power Output (0V AC):
- Symptom: Inverter indicator light alternates red and green, but no 220V AC output is detected.
- Possible Causes: Incorrect grid connection, inverter not properly synchronized with the grid, internal fault, or incorrect programming.
- Solution:
- Verify all AC and DC connections are secure and correctly wired according to the installation diagram.
- Ensure the grid voltage and frequency are within the inverter's operating range (230V, 50Hz).
- Check the Solarmon app for any error codes or diagnostic messages.
- If the issue persists, consult the full user manual for advanced troubleshooting or contact technical support.
- Low Power Production:
- Possible Causes: Shading on solar panels, dirty panels, suboptimal panel angle, or issues with individual MPPTs.
- Solution:
- Clean solar panels regularly.
- Ensure panels are not shaded by trees or other obstructions.
- Check panel orientation and tilt for optimal sunlight exposure.
- Monitor individual panel performance via the Solarmon app to identify underperforming modules.
- Wi-Fi Connection Issues:
- Possible Causes: Weak Wi-Fi signal, incorrect password, or router issues.
