What the symptom means

Diagnose the cause before replacing equipment.

An offline alert does not always mean the array stopped producing. The cause may be the inverter, gateway, internet connection, monitoring account, utility power, or electrical protection. A proper diagnosis confirms what is actually offline before parts are recommended.

Service note: Do not open energized equipment. Record the displayed status and the time the system last reported normally.

Common signs

  • The monitoring app has stopped updating
  • The inverter display is dark or shows standby
  • Current production reads zero during daylight
  • The gateway cannot communicate with site equipment

What a diagnosis should verify

  • Monitoring timestamp and production history
  • Inverter and gateway status indicators
  • Utility power and relevant protection devices
  • Site communication and account access
