Homeowners, it's essential to keep an eye on your old solar inverter to ensure it's functioning properly and avoid those big power bills!

Here are some visual inspection tips and signs to look for that may indicate your inverter is not working:

Visual Inspection Checklist

Check Indicator Lights:
Green Light: Indicates normal operation.
Red or Flashing Light: Often signals an issue. This could mean the system is experiencing a fault or is not generating power.

Look for Error Codes:
If your inverter has a display screen, check for any error codes. These codes can help pinpoint specific issues that need addressing.

Listen for Unusual Sounds:
Pay attention to any buzzing, humming, or other strange noises coming from the inverter. Normal operation should be relatively quiet, so any unusual sounds could indicate a problem.

Inspect for Overheating:
Feel the inverter's surface; if it’s excessively hot, it may be overheating. Ensure it has proper ventilation and isn’t obstructed by dust or debris.

Monitor Power Output:
If you have access to monitoring tools, compare the current power output with historical data. A significant drop in production could indicate a malfunction.

By regularly inspecting these aspects of your solar inverter, you can catch potential issues early and maintain optimal performance for your solar energy system!
