🧠 After-Sales Support and Troubleshooting
Why great support is as important as great hardware
You might think that once your solar system is installed and commissioned, your work is done. Unfortunately, the real challenge often begins after the dust settles. Solar systems are complex, and occasional hiccups, faults, or user questions are inevitable. Knowing how to get reliable support can save you time, money, and headaches.
Common issues users face
Monitoring app shows unexpected errors or no data
Battery state of charge drops faster than expected
Inverter shuts down or trips without clear cause
Backup loads do not power up during outages
Unexpected grid fallback or frequency errors
Sometimes these are simple fixes. Other times, they require technical diagnostics.
First steps to troubleshoot
Before calling support, try these:
Check that all breakers and isolators are ON
Restart your inverter or monitoring device
Verify that firmware and app versions are up to date
Confirm there are no obvious wiring or connection issues
Review your monitoring portal for any active warnings or errors
What professional support looks like
A good support team will:
Respond quickly and clearly
Guide you through remote diagnostics
Escalate to onsite visits if needed
Track your system’s history and past issues
Provide regular firmware updates and tips
Be proactive, not reactive
Set a reminder to check your monitoring dashboard weekly. Early warnings often appear before faults become critical. Regular maintenance visits from your installer or technician are also worth the investment.
When to call support immediately
Battery overheating or smoke
Burning smells near equipment
System completely offline for more than a day
Frequent inverter shutdowns
Safety always comes first.
Quick tip:
Keep all your system documentation, serial numbers, and support contacts in one place. A simple folder or app can save precious time when you need help fast.
