Your solar system is only as strong as its inverter. Whether you’re using SolarEdge, Enphase, SMA, or Fronius, your inverter plays a crucial role in turning sunlight into usable power for your home.
At Solar Technologies, we specialize in solar service and inverter repairs throughout California. In this article, we’ll walk you through how inverters work, what to look for if there’s a problem, and when to reach out to our expert service team.
🔌 What Does a Solar Inverter Do?
Your solar inverter is the heart of your solar energy system. Its job is to:
-
Convert DC electricity (from panels) into AC electricity used by your home
-
Communicate with the utility grid to send and receive energy
-
Enable battery storage and energy monitoring
-
Detect and report errors or performance issues
Without a working inverter, your solar panels can’t power your home—even if they’re in perfect condition.
🔍 Common Signs Your Inverter Needs Service
Here are the top red flags California homeowners should watch for:
-
⚠️ No or low production shown in your solar monitoring app
-
💡 Utility bills unexpectedly spike despite sunny weather
-
🔁 Inverter LED lights are flashing red/orange or beeping
-
⚡ Error messages such as arc fault, ground fault, or isolation fault
-
🔧 Physical damage, overheating, or odd buzzing noises
If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to contact Solar Technologies for professional service.
