Long shot, Ron, but did you shut down the DC supply? That requires reprogramming the unit, but is a "harder" reboot. Allan > On Sep 15, 2016, at 5:11 PM, RM You wrote: > > Has anyone seen this kind of readout on a Trace 4024 inverter. Unit is > functioning but access to the menu is unavailabl

Has anyone seen this kind of readout on a Trace 4024 inverter. Unit is functioning but access to the menu is unavailable and I’m wondering if it’s a monitor failure or something else. I did a factory reset but got the same thing. Ron Young ___ List

It makes you wonder about Enphase’s decision to drop the powder coating on their current 215’s. 250’s I don’t know. From: RE-wrenches [mailto:re-wrenches-boun...@lists.re-wrenches.org] On Behalf Of August Goers Sent: Thursday, September 15, 2016 10:38 AM To: RE-wrenches Subject: Re: [RE-wrenc

Brad, which has been discontinued, the SMA 240’s or Trimetric? While we don’t have a large collection of Enphase systems, after they are installed when needed to think of them at all, we have a consensus among owners of satisfaction especially in terms of monitoring and troubleshooting that goes

A couple of wrenches have suggested the Generac SMM (link in email below) but a call to generac resulted in them saying they only test it with their own generators and cannot say if it will work properly and will not offer support if connected with generators other than Generac. Have any of yo

My SMA micro-inverters have been rock solid for a couple of years. They do not taper off and do not communicate with the Sunny Island. The only issue I've had is that it seems that an internet connection is needed for the monitoring to work, even for the local monitoring. If there is no monitoring

Is it the consensus that Enphase 215 inverters on are the most reliable micro inverters (even though the tech support may be lacking these days)? Someone on this list mentioned that the SMA micros had a rocky time of it. What were the problems with these? Do the SMA micro inverters taper cha
