How To Reset Solar Panels

The first step to be taken with your solar system is a hard reset. This is usually done in case the inverter is reflecting red or yellow light. Here we have mentioned some of the steps of follow:

Step 1: Turn off your inverter

Locate your inverter, which is usually in the garage or on an exterior wall, and lift open the bottom panel. Find the AC/DC toggle switch and power down your inverter.

Step 2: Turn off your AC disconnect

If you have an AC disconnect in your garage, which would be available in a gray box with a black or red handle, turn this off.

Step 3: Turn off your solar disconnect box

Next to the solar meter, there is a gray utility disconnect box with a black or red handle. Turn this off. This may make a loud popping sound.

Step 4: Turn off your electrical service panel

Turn off the main breaker(s) on your electrical service panel. It will be labeled as “Photovoltaic.”

Step 5: Wait for 30 seconds.

After waiting for 30 seconds, everything will turn back on in reverse order.

Step 6: Turn on your electrical service panel.

Turn on the main breaker(s) on your electrical service panel. It will also be labeled as “Photovoltaic.”

Step 7: Turn on your solar disconnect box.

Below the solar meter, there is a gray utility disconnect box with a black or red handle. Turn this back on. This may also make a loud popping sound.

Step 8: Turn on your AC disconnect.

This may or may not apply to you. If you have an AC disconnect in your garage (it would be a gray box with a black or red handle), turn this on.

Step 9: Turn on your inverter.

Locate your inverter, and lift open the bottom panel. Find the AC/DC toggle switch and power on your system.
