What to do if G Server Ping Failed on SolarEdge Inverter?
If your SolarEdge Inverter displays 'G Server Ping Failed', it indicates that the ping to google.com has failed. To resolve this, connect a laptop and check for internet connectivity.
What to do if SolarEdge SE12.5k Inverter string voltage is not 0V but lower than number of optimizers?
If the string voltage on your SolarEdge Inverter is not 0V but lower than the number of optimizers, it could be due to: * Power optimizers not connected in the string. Connect all power optimizers. * Modules not connected properly to power optimizer inputs (not applicable to smart modules). Connect the modules to the optimizer inputs. * String reverse polarity. Check the string polarity using a voltmeter and correct if needed.
How to fix SolarEdge SE12.5k Inverter no DHCP?
If your SolarEdge Inverter shows 'No DHCP', it could be due to an IP settings issue. Check both the router and the inverter configuration. You may need to configure a static IP address or set the inverter to DHCP. Consult your network IT professional for assistance.
