Learn about the clicking noises from your Aquamax electric unit and how to troubleshoot them effectively.
Clicking noises can indicate issues with internal components or electrical connections. It's essential to inspect for loose parts or malfunctioning relays.
To resolve the clicking noise, check for any loose connections and ensure all components are securely mounted. If the issue persists, consult a technician.
The clicking noise often indicates that the inverter is attempting to engage or disengage its internal relays or contactors. This behavior can be triggered by various electrical conditions, including insulation resistance measurements (RISO) that fall below acceptable thresholds, ground fault detection mechanisms activating due to the failure of insulation in the array, or voltage fluctuations from the utility grid that exceed operational limits. The inverter's built-in safety protocols are designed to protect both the system and the grid, leading to these audible signals when faults are detected.
The Aquamax electric unit is producing audible clicking noises, which may be accompanied by intermittent LED flashing patterns on the inverter display. Homeowners might notice production drops in the monitoring app, indicating that the system is not operating efficiently or is entering a fault state.
Always consult a licensed electrician or certified solar installer when dealing with electrical components to ensure safety and compliance with local codes.
To avoid future clicking issues, ensure regular maintenance checks of all electrical connections, monitor the inverter's performance through its app, and perform periodic insulation resistance testing on the array. Keeping the inverter cool and well-ventilated can also help prevent overheating of internal components.
