Yes I have a voltmeter. The Electritian and I pulled the covers off of the disconnects and inverter.
The AC side disconnect showed 240V on the "output" side. and the DC side showed flow in from the panels. (Can't remember exact voltage now)
The inverter is a Sunnyboy and was suspect as it had blown the GDFI fuse. We replaced that fuse and...nothing. New fuse didn't pop, and no voltage there.
There are 3 led "trouble lights" on the front of the unit. All were dead...I looked up the install and tech manuals on the net. They gave scenarios for why each may be on/off/blinking etc, but no scenario for all off.
I agree with you on the micro inverter advantage! I am really torn about just throwing $2k at new inverter or $$$$ at a new system. I think our system now is like 1.4kw. Tiny... but we aren't heavy AC/appliance users.
I have such an awesome patio cover I could expand onto too...~700sf facing SE. Sees direct sun almost the entire day.
It's a permitted engineered structure too so would be easy to do a fully legal install on.
Thanks for your feedback.
