Показать описание
01/18/2022 Inverter in production and sending power back to utility (HECO). But not reporting. Performed Bridge Reset. Waited 20 minutes to restore power. Checked after 10AM for Inverter to 'wake up'. Production in progress but display shows "NO SIGNAL".
03/20/2022 I check the Inverter display every day now. this past week I saw the display doing it's blinking 2 one lines again. stepping through the modes did confirm the cell signal at 4 (bars?) and power in production. so I let it go this time just to see if the display would self correct. it did the next day.

02/092022 Update; With the physical electric bill in hand from utility (HECO) I've noted there was a loss of power to utility. The Netmeter was correct and there where no generation of power during the time period I witnessed. The Solar edge reported constant production even though it clearly did not reach the utility. As one might expect if reported as a loss of production. It would be difficult to point exactly where the problem was (or still is?). The reporting method for this system is about twice a day, which will not report short loss of production. Micro inverters typically report in mins of status. Though this earlier reporting method did flood the internet (and power grid) with a confusing amount of telemetry. I suspect there has been a desire to cut down on signaling from every solar system in the city (world?) Lesson learned? Don't trust the monitoring to be accurate. I'm sure Solar companies will claim its just a reference. For the average family the power loss will show in the next utility bill. But if you check the Inverter display (on the Inverter) once a week. You may catch potential problems early enough to minimize a hefty electric bill. Aloha, ukeboy57

Update 02/05/2022. Several days later. The SolarEdge monitoring page still would not update. I have a Samsung Note10 (smaller unit. Not the +) on the off chance the App was corrupt, I downloaded from playstore and restarted. Everything came back up and reported correctly. Even the 'lost' production from the original service outage shows production. Odd, (but okay as the inverter was sending back power to utility. I'm guessing the monitoring is truly just monitoring and not an indicator of inverter control status. I recommend not leaving the mobile Phone App on constant monitoring. Shut down the App when not in use. If you have the cell option (not WiFi) the it reports about every 4 hours. So no point leaving the App on all day. Aloha, Mark
