Sometimes, a malfunctioning inverter is the culprit for an underperforming solar system. The inverter is the ‘brains’ of your home solar system. It converts the direct current (DC) electricity that solar panels generate into alternating current (AC) electricity, which is the electricity we use to power our homes.
An inverter should come equipped with indicator lights, and red or orange indicator lights could mean your home solar system is experiencing problems. If your inverters’ indicator lights flash red, call your solar company or inverter manufacturer so they can help you troubleshoot the problem..
