Has your Latronics inverter stopped working? Is the 50% light flashing and are all the other lights off?
If your Latronics inverter has a 50% error, it means the grid is out of range. (Important note: If the 25% light is on solid and the 50% light is flashing, this is not a fault. It just means your inverter is on the cusp of 50% production.)
Chinese manufacturer Macsolar sold inverters in Australia from 2011 to 2013. Unfortunately, the company is no longer around to honour the 5-year warranty its products came with.
However, Solargain customers with a Macsolar inverter under warranty will be covered, as we have continued to work with the Australian repairer which was contracted by Macsolar, to complete the repair process at our own expense. All out-of-warranty and non-Solargain customers will need to pay for a replacement.
Latronics is an Australian manufacturer which produced 1.2kW and 2.5kW solar power inverters. The older models, which were installed in 2009-2011, came with a 5-year warranty, but the more recent ones only carry a 3-year warranty. With refurbished units, this drops to 12 months.
As most Latronics customers are on the higher feed-in tariff, the capacity of the inverter cannot be increased if they want to keep receiving STCs.
Has the LED light on your Macsolar inverter turned red? Is it displaying a number 19 error message?
If your Macsolar inverter is showing a fault 19 error message, it has developed a relay fault and will need to be replaced.
Is your Macsolar inverter displaying a communication error message?
If your Macsolar inverter is experiencing a communication error, a manual reset may help to clear the fault. This manual shutdown procedure can help if you aren’t sure how to reset your inverter. If this doesn’t resolve the issue, you’ll need to replace your inverter.
Is your Aero-Sharp inverter producing a Grid Volt Error?
A Grid Volt Error in your Aero-Sharp inverter means that the AC fuse may have blown or the AC board may have failed. If the AC fuse is replaced and it immediately blows again, it means there’s a short on the AC board and your inverter will need to be replaced.
Are you having trouble with your Aero-Sharp inverter? Is it displaying a Ground Fault error message?
If your Aero-Sharp solar inverter develops a Ground Fault, there may be an issue with how the unit is earthed; however, this can be repaired. If we rule out a leaking earth, the earth fault may exist internally in the inverter, which means your inverter will need to be replaced.
Has your Sharp JH1600E inverter stopped working and developed an F-00 fault?
This type of fault can indicate high grid voltage levels. We recommend you check that the main ‘solar supply’ switch in your metre box is on. If it is, we recommend you then call us for assistance.
Have you noticed your Sharp JH1600 solar inverter isn’t working properly? Has it developed a d-27 fault?
This is an electrical fusion caused by excessive voltage transients on the input or output of the inverter. It is generally caused by an extraneous event such as a lightning strike or a power surge on the grid.
Is your Sharp JH1600E inverter no longer working? Has it developed a d-21 fault?
This is caused by excessive voltage transients on the input or output of the inverter. It is highly likely that an external factor such as lightning or a power surge on the grid caused the issue.
As of October 2020, Solar is now officially cheaper than coal and is set to stay that way. Going forward expect most large scale energy plants that get built to be solar plants.
