No solarpower after losing power

No solarpower after losing power

The power in the house was off yesterday. Today I noticed that the inverter is no longer processing any solarpower.

The blue and green lights are flashing. After a while the blue light stays on, while the green light keeps flashing.

After a while, the red light comes on as well.

I tried a few times restoring it by setting the main switch off and set the red switch from the invertor to 0. After a while i turn on the main switch and then, after a few minutes, set the red switch on the inverter back to 1.

Unfortunately, this does not solve the problem. The installer is also unavailable due to a public holiday and the weekend. Does anyone have any tips?

Edit: here's a picture from my inverter. Beneath it is a manual breaker, seperated from the breaker in the distribution box. Also note: i left it off last night just to try it out. Normally the breaker is up and the red switch on the inverter is on 1.
The inverter is a SolarEdge SE7K.

SolarEdge help needed

Does anyone know of any SolarEdge installers in the Northeast England (Newcastle) area?

I woke up this morning and the whole system was dead. Checked all the obvious trips/cables/CT clamp. Performed a full system reset (turn all switches to off and leave for 10 mins) and then turn on DC power followed by AC. No lights on the inverter.

Update: fixed as grid side of export meter somehow came loose and disconnected.

App suddenly showing additional panels and inverter I don’t have??

Several weeks ago my app suddenly showed an additional 11 panels on a second inverter with a battery. Kind of like someone commissioned their system on my account. I notified my installer and after a week they said they were able to switch the second inverter from #1 to #2, but after speaking with SolarEdge, they said it can’t be fixed remotely and they will need to come out and fix it for the low low price of $600. My actual system works as it always did. This struck me as someone else’s mistake I should not be paying for, unless my inverter has developed a mind of its own. Ideas?

Thanks for ruining the app

Since the last update to the mySolarEdge app (Android) a lot of the widgets seem to have been removed. I used to have the compact system overview on my phone's home screen for many years, and now it's gone and the only widget that still shows up is a full-page one that I don't want to waste the screen space for.

Was that strictly necessary?!
