Follow the video 0:00 - 2:41 for full steps on how to power cycle your SolarEdge inverter.

 

Turning OFF your Inverter 

Directions for system shutdown can also be found on the front of your inverter.

Step 1: Turn OFF the Inverter’s Toggle Switch 

  • Locate the ON/OFF/P toggle switch on your inverter (see 0:16). 
  • Flick the switch to the ‘OFF’ position. 
  • Once this has been switched off, wait at least 5 minutes before continuing to the next step. This gives the system time drop below 50V (a safe voltage level).

Step 2: Turn OFF the Inverter’s AC 

  • Locate your AC isolator switch. Depending on the model of inverter, your AC isolator switch is most commonly adjacent to your inverter.
  • Move the switch into the ‘OFF’ position. 
  • If your inverter is within 3m of your main switchboard, your inverter won’t have an AC isolator switch. To turn off the AC, go to the main switchboard, and turn off the ‘main switch inverter supply’. This switch should be clearly labelled alongside the rest of your home’s power supply switches.

Step 3: Turn OFF the Inverter’s DC 

  • Your inverter’s DC isolator switch is located on the front of your inverter. The DC isolator switch is incorporated with the HD wave inverter design. For other models of the SolarEdge inverter, it will be located adjacent to your inverter. 
  • Turn your switch to the ‘OFF’ position. This step may be a bit tricky as the switch may show resistance and require more force to turn off. Keep turning until it clicks. 
  • Once everything is off, wait 5 minutes before starting to turn everything back on.

Turning ON your Inverter 

Follow all the previous steps in reverse order. 

Step 1: Turn ON the Inverter’s DC 

  • Turn your switch to the ‘ON’ position. 

Step 2: Turn ON the Inverter’s AC 

  • Move the switch into the ‘ON’ position. 
  • If no AC isolator switch is present, turn on the ‘main switch inverter supply’.

Step 3: Turn ON the Inverter’s Toggle Switch 

  • Flick the switch to the ‘OFF’ position. 
  • Once this has been switched off, you should see LED lights begin to flash. This represents the system restarting. 
  • Wait at least a minute for the LED lights to stop flashing and become a constant light. This indicates that the inverter is now producing power again.
