Check solar inverter for errors

Difficulty: easyTime: 10 mins

Why it matters

The inverter is the most failure-prone component of a solar system. An error code or production drop that goes unnoticed means you're buying power from the grid unnecessarily — sometimes for months before the bill difference is noticed.

Stop forgetting to do this.

How to do it

  • 1

    Check the inverter display — it should show green/normal status.

  • 2

    Open your solar monitoring app and compare today's production to the same day last year.

  • 3

    If production is more than 15% below expected, look for shading issues, dirty panels, or fault codes.

  • 4

    Report any fault codes to your solar company — most repairs are under warranty.
