The LED light on the micro inverter will help you identify possible problems during connection. The LED can be green or red, blinking or stable. Only the stable green light means that the micro inverter is working properly.

A green blinking light appears if:

• You are in the process of connecting the micro inverter/ configuring the network.
• The cable connecting the solar panels to the micro inverter is not plugged in properly.

A red blinking light appears if:

• The grid is not stable, in case of grid loss or grid abnormality.

A red steady-on light appears if:

• There’s something wrong with your micro inverter (hardware fault).
• GFDI (ground fault detector interrupter) issue: Simply put, the electricity is going somewhere it should not be so the GFDI cuts off the power to ensure safety.

Red and green blinking lights appear when the micro inverter needs a software upgrade.
