A lot of solar inverters are not able to connect to 5GHz wifi networks, they will only connect to a 2.4GHz network. This can be a bit of a problem with some of the newer modems that use a new feature called "band steering". With band steering turned on these modems will only output a single WiFi network that broadcasts both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bandwidth together. The problem is that some devices don't play nicely with this feature, such as a lot of solar inverters. The good news is that this function can be turned off, and when it's turned off the modem will again broadcast the 2.4GHz & 5GHZ bandwidth as separate networks. This video shows how to turn this function OFF on a Telstra modem. If you have another brand of modem this video will still be helpful in pointing you in the right direction however it will be a bit different.

Well, this video does show one of the many reasons why we ALWAYS seal electrical penetrations anyway! Electrical switches, solar inverters, air conditioners and pretty much anything that has live electrical circuits are all places that you really don't want creepy crawlies, dust or water getting into. That's why it's so important to always seal up any holes where these things could potentially enter the device. We also recommend only using bottom entries into electrical devices, this helps to ensure that if any water is around gravity will keep it away from dripping onto live components and causing problems! This particular isolator is installed on an off grid solar power system located in a Gold Coast hinterland rainforest. The snakes are Australian Small Eyed Snakes, which are highly venomous. Fortunately, however, they are not inclined to bite!

Do you have an SMA Sunny Island inverter that you need to change some major settings on or give an emergency charge? Settings such as changing the size of your battery bank or whether the system is on or off-grid are not parameters that can be adjusted under the normal settings on a Sunny Island, they need to be changed on the startup of the inverter through the Sunny Remote Control. Please be advised that this video is NOT APPLICABLE to the newer -12 models of Sunny Island. The -12 configuration is through the inverters web interface. ***WARNING*** System can become unstable & fail due to entry of incorrect parameters. ONLY QUALIFIED PERSONS ARE PERMITTED TO SET & ADJUST PARAMETERS!

In this short video you will learn how to access the installer and expert modes on an SMA Sunny Island inverter with a Sunny Remote Control or SRC. ***IMPORTANT NOTICE*** System failures due to the entry of incorrect parameter values!

Is your Fronius Galvo, Primo, Symo or ECO inverter showing a STATE code that is related to high temperatures? Depending on your inverter this could be a STATE 303, STATE 304, STATE 325, STATE 326, STATE 327 or STATE 517 fault code and is basically the inverter telling you that it's not working properly because it's getting too hot. A lot of the times fault codes like this are shown due to issues with the internal fan on the Fronius inverters, well I say it's an internal fan however it is external to the inverter, but it's mounted on the back of the unit and requires the inverter to be pulled apart to get to it. In this video we will look at how to check and clean the fans on the back of the Fronius inverter. Please be advised the information shown in this video is general information only, any work carried out on a solar inverter is potentially hazardous and should be performed by a licensed electrician.
