Uh oh! Has your Orion inverter stopped working? Is it displaying ‘DC INJ High’ fault? Read on.
If your Orion inverter is telling you it has a DC INJ High fault, it’s possible that DC voltage is travelling through your inverter outside of tolerance limits. To prevent damage from occurring, your inverter will shut down.
Has your Orion inverter stopped working? Is it displaying ‘relay failure’? Please read on.
If your Orion inverter is indicating that it has experienced a relay failure, this means a component inside your inverter has failed. Without this component, the inverter cannot function and produce electricity.
Orion was a Taiwanese-manufactured inverter imported by an Australian wholesale company called Solar Energy Australia (SEA) as early as 2008 and installed by Solargain up until 2011. As they carried a 3- to 5-year warranty, they would now all require replacing.
Has your Orion inverter developed an isolation fault? Wondering what to do next?
An isolation fault in your Orion inverter is a sign that your solar panels may not be properly isolated. If it only seems to happen after rain, it’s likely that water is triggering the fault. If the isolation fault occurs constantly, regardless of moisture in the environment, further investigation will be needed.
Has your Orion inverter stopped working? Is it displaying a ‘No Utility' fault?
Is your Latronics inverter faulty? Is the 75% light flashing and are the remaining lights off?
If your Latronics inverter is displaying a 75% error, it may be having trouble connecting to the grid. Remember: if the 50% light is on solid while the 75% light is flashing, this is not a fault. It just means your inverter is on the cusp of 75% production.
