Learn how to adjust the grid overvoltage protection threshold for Solis OV-G-V04 inverter.
To adjust the overvoltage protection threshold, access the inverter settings through the user interface. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure proper configuration.
If the threshold is set too high, the inverter may not disconnect during overvoltage events, risking damage to the system and connected appliances.
The Solis OV-G-V04 inverter is designed to monitor the voltage levels of the utility grid continuously. When the grid voltage exceeds the inverter's programmed overvoltage protection threshold, the inverter will disconnect to prevent damage. This disconnection is a safety feature that relies on accurate voltage readings, which are influenced by the inverter's internal voltage sensing components and the external grid conditions. If the sensed voltage exceeds the threshold due to actual grid conditions or faulty readings, the inverter will trigger a protection response.
Users may observe the inverter displaying a fault code on the monitoring app or onboard screen, with LED indicators flashing in a specific pattern, indicating a grid overvoltage condition. Additionally, there may be a noticeable drop in energy production as the inverter disconnects from the grid to protect itself.
Always ensure that any troubleshooting or repairs are conducted by a licensed electrician or certified solar installer to guarantee compliance with safety standards and local electrical codes.
To prevent future occurrences of grid overvoltage issues, regularly monitor the inverter's performance through the monitoring app, ensuring that the voltage settings are appropriate for the local grid. Conduct routine inspections of wiring and connections, and consider implementing surge protection devices if lightning or nearby electrical disturbances are common in your area.
