It will be recalled (blog post, May 4, 2024) that we had a failure in one of our two solar panel inverters. Two days ago was the day that our service provider, Photon Brothers, came out and replaced the failed inverter (made by Solaredge) free of charge under warranty.
Now today an email has arrived from the Solaredge monitoring system. The email provides this report:
 |
||||
| Summary of the alerts | ||||
| The following table contains the alerts that were opened/closed in the last 24 hours only. | ||||
| View in the monitoring platform | ||||
| Site Name | Alert Type | Impact | Status | Description |
| nnnnnn | Inverter not producing energy – low voltage | 5 | CLOSED | The inverter’s voltage is low; The inverter is not producing energy |
| nnnnnn | Inverter production issue detected | 5 | CLOSED | Inverter – Production issue detected |
As you will see the monitoring system is letting me know that it has noticed that the inverter has been replaced. The monitoring system has closed the alerts.
I think it is really nice that the Solaredge company provides such sophisticated automatic monitoring. It gives me the sense that things are under control.
