Learn about SolarEdge Error Code 8x6E, its meaning, causes, and solutions for night communication errors.
Error Code 8x6E indicates a night communication error, which can affect system performance. It is important to troubleshoot this issue promptly.
To resolve the night communication error, check the communication settings and ensure the inverter is properly connected to the network.
The 8x6E error code is triggered when the inverter fails to establish or maintain communication with the monitoring system, which is essential for performance tracking and fault reporting. This disruption can occur due to several factors, including issues with the communication interface or power supply. The inverter relies on a stable connection to relay data about the array's performance, grid status, and potential fault conditions. If the inverter detects that it cannot communicate effectively, it will enter a protective state, halting production to prevent further complications.
Homeowners may notice that the SolarEdge inverter's LED indicators are displaying an unusual pattern, which may include blinking or solid red lights. Additionally, the SolarEdge monitoring app may show alerts indicating a communication error, and users could observe a drop in energy production data or a complete halt in data reporting from the system.
Always consult a licensed electrician or certified solar installer when troubleshooting electrical systems to ensure safety and compliance with local codes.
To minimize the chances of encountering the 8x6E error in the future, regularly inspect communication cables for wear and tear, ensure firmware is kept up to date, and maintain a clear path for wireless signals by avoiding obstructions. Additionally, performing routine maintenance checks on the inverter and monitoring system can help identify potential issues before they escalate.
