  Madeline WilliamsAug 6, 2025
  If the GFCI LED on your Renogy Inverter is solid yellow, it indicates GFCI protection has been activated. This may be due to the GFCI tripping. To resolve this: 1. Disconnect all appliances from the inverter. 2. Use the ON/OFF/Remote switch to reset the inverter. 3. Reconnect appliances one at a time to see if the yellow LED illuminates, indicating a current leakage issue with one of the appliances. If the LED remains on, it's recommended to contact Renogy for further assistance.
