Step-by-step instructions to safely restart your Generac solar and battery system to resolve issues.

June 12, 2026

Step 1: Safety check

Before touching anything, please confirm the following:

• ✅ Your AC and DC breakers are accessible.
• ✅ Your hands and any tools are completely dry.
• ✅ There are no exposed wires visible near the equipment.

Step 2: Turn off the battery DC disconnect

• Locate the Battery Disconnect Switch on your battery enclosure.
• Slide it to the OFF position.

Step 3: Shut down the inverter

• On the inverter's control panel, press "Shutdown.
• Wait until the display confirms that the inverter is off before moving on.

Step 4: Wait 30–60 seconds

This allows any residual voltage to safely dissipate before you restart the system and ensures all capacitors discharge safely.

Step 5: Restart the system

• Slide the Battery Disconnect Switch back to ON.
• Power the inverter back on using the control panel.
• Wait for the system to report normal operation before proceeding.

Step 6: Confirm everything is working

✅ Check that the LED lights or display show normal operation. ✅ If your solar panels are connected, verify that energy is flowing as expected. ✅ Note any warning messages or fault codes you see.

Important Safety Reminders:

• Only qualified personnel should access internal components.
• These steps are for troubleshooting and system resets — not routine daily use.
• Always use external breakers and disconnects when possible to avoid exposure to high voltage.
