SolarEdge HD wave inverters are designed using a novel power conversion technology that is based on a distributed switching and powerful DSP processing. This inverter can synthesize a clean sine wave that leads to a dramatic reduction in the magnetics and heavy cooling elements. The result is a lighter and smaller inverter for easy installation. In this blog, we have given SolarEgde HD wave inverter troubleshooting steps that help you when you get problems with your inverter.
SolarEdge HD Wave Inverter Troubleshooting.
While starting the SolarEdge HD Wave troubleshooting, you need to check a few things related to the functionality of the inverter.
Check The Functionality of The HD Wave Inverter.
You should locate the black and circular switch on your inverter. Make sure that switch is pointed to the ON position.
Find out the little screen in the center of the HD wave inverter. The information should be displayed on it and a green power indicator is lighting up.
If the screen on the inverter is not lighting up, you have to consider that it is not getting power. Next, you need to locate the red power switch which is placed behind the inverter and on the left side. You may have to crane your neck to find that little switch.
After finding, you will need to check to ensure that the red power switch is pointing to the ON (1) position. This ON (1) and OFF (0) indicator is very small but you can locate it on your inverter's front face, just below the area to where the red switch is pointing.
If both red and black switches point ON position, but still the screen on the inverter is not getting power, you can contact a professional.

Check The Internet Connection of SolarEdge HD Wave Inverter.
To check the internet connection of your SolarEdge inverter,
- Locate the UP and DOWN arrow marks on the front of the inverter and just below the screen.
- You have to press the UP arrow to scroll through the various screens until you get the word "Server" on screen.
- Press the DOWN arrow to scroll until you see the phrase "Server".
If you notice "Server: LAN", it indicates that your inverter uses a communication gateway to connect the solar energy system to the internet. If you see "Server: Cell", it means that your HD wave inverter uses an internal cellular device to connect the solar energy system to the internet. So, you need to follow the troubleshooting process accordingly.

RS485 Communication Troubleshooting.
If the error "Master Not Found" appears, you will need to check the connections to the master device and correct it if required.
After slave detection, if the number of slaves displayed in the master under "RS485-X Conf -> Slave Detect" is lesser than the actual number of slaves, then you have to follow either of these two methods to find out missing slaves and troubleshoot connectivity problems.
- Use the "Long slave detect" to retry connecting to slaves.
- Analyze the "Slave list" to check for missing slaves and their connection.
