Inverter Packed Up ??

greyteam1959

Just looking for some basic advice.
I think my inverter has packed up, & this is the second one in 11 years.
First one under warranty at 4 years & nine months.
Now the replacement has, I think, packed up after 6 years.
Sunny Boy 2500HF-30 inverter
9 x 230w panels
Installed as a 2.07KWp system
Despite shutting down & restarting the system using the correct procedure several times
no lights at all appear on the inverter.
Usually there is a solid green light.
The grid relay symbol looks wrong to me as well.
The separate generation meter shows a solid red light.
Can anybody confirm my worst fears that the inverter is dead ??

Do you have sunny explorer from SMA to connect to the inverter via Bluetooth to read error messages etc.

It certainly doesnt sound good.
If you do decide its dead I have an old sma 3300 you can have for beer money and postage.
Though I should say its a heavy mother, so postage would probably be quite high.

No it's not good, it's completely dead.
Thanks for the kind offer of your old inverter.
Going to purchase a new one.
