Currently Playing: Fixing My Solar System. 9 Year Update, Diagnosis, Repair, And Review.

I had this system installed 9 years ago, and it's been working fine ever since. I had one issue where the solar DC disconnect failed, but that was an easy fix to bypass it. In this video I do a quick update on the finances. How much did I spend, how much have I earned. I am on track to break even like I predicted in this video: https://youtu.be/gAswWVETWKo. I then go through the diagnosis part, which involves getting an insulation tester to check for ground faults at high voltage. I discuss my frustrations in dealing with Solaredge and our lousy right to repair laws. I get a new inverter under warranty and install it, plus a new DC disconnect, and finally get the system up and running.
