IQ8M microinverter shows error but still have full production and data log

As seen here. I have 2 out of 18 microinverters showing error. They are installed in 2023. I am going through chat and they say they are looking into it.

What could this be? Why would a microinverter showing error despite good communication and full production? Sustem is 3 years old.

Is it possible to turn this tree into a permanent Christmas tree?

This is the tree in question. We actually have outdoor rated power outlet near by (20 ft).

The problem is that the land has a steep grade and is undeveloped. The tree is probably around 20-25 ft.

We don’t have heavy machinery nor do I want to climb into that tree. Is there a way to wrap some sort of dc permanent light strip onto this thing?

Perfectly working septic system. 1500 gallon tank for a house hold of 2 adult and 2 toddlers. Last pumped and inspected 4.5 years ago.

Here the local quote for riser install is around two to four thousand dollar and it’s quite of a big of change. I don’t feel comfortable DIY anything that actually changes the configuration of my tank, but is it possible to add a box with pressure treated lumber around those square openings like a reverse planter box? I imagine the septic company will just lift the concrete lid out of the planter box?

I figure this way I don’t modify the physical characteristics of the tank. Would this work?

I can’t imagine pressure treated wood would last more than 2-3 pumpings but it would still be easier than me digging it up everytime.
