Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Verify stable AC grid voltage and frequency at the inverter's input terminals against nominal specifications.

  2. 2

    Measure DC input voltage from the PV array at inverter terminals to ensure it is within the specified operating range and stable.

  3. 3

    Perform a controlled shutdown of the inverter (disconnecting both AC and DC), wait 5 minutes, then re-energize the unit.

  4. 4

    Inspect the inverter's internal event log via SMA diagnostic software (e.g., Sunny Explorer/Manager) for any preceding or co-occurring error messages.

  5. 5

    Check the current installed firmware version and compare it against the latest recommended version from SMA; prepare for potential re-flash or update as per manufacturer guidelines.
