Grid Lost Fault

Grid lost fault

What you can do

  • Check whether the rest of your house or street has power, and check your network operator's outage map
  • Check the switchboard for a tripped solar/inverter breaker - reset it once only; if it trips again, leave it off and call an electrician
  • Once normal power is back the inverter usually reconnects on its own within a few minutes
  • If the power is normal but the alarm stays, call your installer
