Solar Inverters
The solar inverter converts the DC electricity generated by your solar panels into AC electricity, suitable for home use. Understanding your inverter’s basics, including its type and operational status, can significantly aid in troubleshooting and maintenance. If the inverters green light is not on, there is likely an issue with your system.
Communication Gateway
Communication gateways serve as the information bridge between your solar system and monitoring services, allowing for real-time data collection and analysis.
Solar Meters
Meters provide vital information on the production and consumption of your solar energy. Recognizing the type of meter you have and interpreting its data can be instrumental in assessing your system’s efficiency and identifying any potential issues. If your inverter light is green, but your monitoring system or electric company is not reporting production, it is likely an issue with your meter.
