Microinverters Maximize PV Energy Production
Each PV module has individual Maximum Peak Power Tracking (MPPT) controls,
which ensures that the maximum power is exported to the utility grid regardless of the
performance of the other PV modules in the array.When PV modules in the array are
affected by shade, dust, orientation,or any situation in which one module
underperforms compared with the other units, the Microinverter ensures top
performance from the array by maximizing the performance of each module within the
array.
More Reliable than Centralized or String Inverters
The distributed Microinverter system ensures that no single point of system failure exists
across the PV system.Microinverters are designed to operate at full power at ambient
outdoor temperatures of up to 149℉ (65℃). The inverter housing is designed for
outdoor installation and complies with the IP65 environmental enclosure rating.
1300 / 1600 / 1800 / 2000G3
NOTE: If the wifi signal in the area where the MECD is weak, it is necessary to add a wifi
signal booster at a suitable place between the router and the MECD.
This integrated system improves safety; maximizes solar energy harvest;increases system
reliability, and simplifies solar system design, installation,maintenance, and management.

Troubleshooting
3. The units should start blinking red one minutes after turning on the AC circuit breaker.
Then blue led blinking. This means they are producing power normally, the faster
blinking of the blue led means more power generated.
4. Configure the internal wifi module according to its user manual.
5. The Microinverters will start to send performance data over wifi module to the network
every 5 minutes.It enables customers to monitor performance data of each microinverter
through website and APP.
Qualified personnel can use the following troubleshooting steps if the PV system does
not operate correctly:
NOTE: When AC power is applied but the microinverter not started up, about 0.1A current
and 25VA(W) power for each microinverter may be measured by a power meter. This
power is reactive power,not consume from utility grid.
Start up LED
Operation LED
One minute after DC power is first applied to the microinverter,one
short red blinks indicate a successful microinverter startup sequence,
be equal or greater than two short red blinks after DC power is first
applied to the microinverter indicate a failure during microinverter
setup.
Flashing Slow Blue - Producing small power
Flashing Fast Blue - Producing big power
Flashing Red - Not producing power
Red blinking two times - AC low-voltage or high-voltage
Red blinking three times - Grid failure
Status Indications and Error Reporting

- 11 -
GFDI Error
Other Faults
A four time red LED indicates the Microinverter has detected a
Ground Fault Detector Interrupter (GFDI) error in the PV system.
Unless the GFDI error has been cleared, the LED will remain four
times blinking.
All other faults can be reported to the website and APP.
WARNING: Never disconnect the DC wire connectors under load. Ensure that no
current is flowing in the DC wires prior to disconnecting. An opaque
covering may be used to cover the module prior to disconnecting the
module.
There are two possible overall areas of trouble:
A. The Microinverter itself may be having problems.
B. The Microinverter itself is working fine but the communication between microinverter
and network has problem. The items below refer to Microinverter issues, not communicat
-ion issues:
One quick way to tell whether the issue is the Microinverter or the communication problem:
1. Diagnosing from the Microinverter: A red light–either blinking or solid on the
Microinverter, or no light at all means it is definitely the Microinverter problem.
2. 0 watts, or 2 watts: Possibly a Microinverter problem
Troubleshooting a non-operating Microinverter

- 12 -
2. Diagnosing from the network:
a. No-Data-Display: The website and APP don't display any data.Check the network
configuration.
b. Only display microinverter is online but no data.This maybe because server is
updating.
To troubleshoot a non-operating Microinverter, Follow the steps
below in order:
1. Verify the utility voltage and frequency are within ranges shown in the Technical Data
section of this manual.
2. Check the connection to the utility grid.Disconnect AC firstly,then disconnect DC and
make sure the utility grid voltage can be measured at AC connector. Never disconnect
the DC wires while the microinverter is producing power. Re-connect the DC module
connectors and watch for three short LED flashes.
3. Check the AC branch circuit interconnection between all the microinverters. Verify
each inverter is energized by the utility grid as described in the previous step.
4. Make sure that any AC breaker are functioning properly and are closed.
5. Check the DC connections between the microinverter and the PV module.
6. Verify the PV module DC voltage is within the allowable range shown in the Technical
Data of this manual.
7. If the problem still persists, please contact technical support.
WARNING: Do not attempt to repair the microinverter.If troubleshooting methods fail,
please call for Technical Support
