Many issues with your solar system can often be resolved by rebooting your inverter. Before you begin, please make sure it's daylight outside so you can confirm whether the reboot was successful.

Step 1: Turn off your inverter

Your SolarEdge inverter is a small white box labeled "SolarEdge." It's usually located next to your electrical panel, your meter, or your AC disconnect.

• Turn the black circular switch clockwise to the OFF position.
• If you have more than one inverter: You likely have a subpanel nearby. Locate it and flip all breakers to the OFF position.

Step 2: Turn off your AC disconnect

Your AC Disconnect is typically a small metal box on the outside of your home, next to your electricity meter. It should have a red sticker that reads "AC Disconnect" or "Photovoltaic System AC Disconnect."

• Lift all switches or handles to the OFF position.

Step 3: Reset your solar breaker

Locate your main electrical panel or breaker box — usually a grey panel in a low-traffic area like your basement, garage, utility closet, or outside.

• Open the cover and find the breaker labeled "PV Solar Breaker" (look for a red sticker).

• Flip the breaker to OFF, hold for about 30 seconds, then flip it back to ON.

• Don't see a PV Solar Breaker? That's okay — skip ahead to Step 4.

Step 4: Turn your AC disconnect back on

• Lift all switches or handles to the ON position.

This allows electricity to flow between your inverter and the grid.

Step 5: Turn your inverter back on

• If you have more than one inverter: Go to the subpanel and flip all breakers back to the ON position.
• Turn the black circular switch clockwise to the ON position.
• Find the small red toggle on the bottom of each inverter. Move it to the far left ( "P" position), then release it — it should settle in the center "1" position, which means it's ON.

The inverter may take a few minutes to fully start up. Once it's ready, the LED lights will show solid Green and Blue.
