Troubleshooting
This section provides general guidance for common issues. For specific error codes or persistent problems, refer to the full user manual or contact Y&H customer support.
- No Power Output: Check all connections, especially DC input polarity and AC output connection to the grid. Ensure the utility grid is active and the outlet switch is on.
- LCD Display Not Working: Verify power supply to the inverter. If the backlight is off, check settings on the LCD.
- Low Power Output: Ensure solar panels are clean and receiving adequate sunlight. Check for shading or damage to panels. Verify MPPT settings are correctly configured.
- Over Temperature Protection: Ensure the inverter is installed in a well-ventilated area. Clear any obstructions around the cooling fans.
- Anti-Islanding Activation: This is a safety feature. If the grid power is interrupted, the inverter will stop outputting power. It should resume automatically once grid power is restored.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Y&H Grid Tie Inverter.
- Cleanliness: Periodically clean the exterior of the inverter and ensure the cooling fan vents are free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth.
- Connection Checks: Annually inspect all electrical connections (DC and AC) for tightness and signs of corrosion.
- Environmental Conditions: Ensure the inverter is kept within its specified operating temperature and humidity ranges. Avoid direct exposure to harsh weather conditions unless the unit is rated for outdoor use.
