The inverter feeds into the grid.
✖ Green LED flashing?
Possible cause of error: The DC input voltage is still too low, or the inverter is monitoring the
utility grid.
• Once the DC input voltage is sufficiently high, the inverter goes into operation.
✖ The red LED is lit and an error message and event number appear in the display?
• Eliminate the error (see Section 11 "Troubleshooting", page 59).
✖ The blue LED is glowing or flashing?
• Eliminate the communication error (see Section 9.3 "LED Signals", page 54).
