Both Inverters stuck in night mode

[getakey]

Great that it got fixed

Update---- After several days of not working the system is functioning normally. I am guessing that Tesla did some type of software update

It might benefit others if you'd call Tesla to see if they did something and what so your friends can be informed what happened and how corrected.

I am waiting to hear from Tesla, I service appointment was made so if a fix or repair was done they should let me know.

Update Update --- looks like I spoke too soon, the system is stuck in night mode again. worked perfectly yesterday and stuck in night mode today

Tesla service is here now. Stated that one of the rapid shut down modules is bad. Will have to test to and replace.

 

[getakey]

hope they have the part with them

I didn't know that inverters had different modes. My system has microinverters, do they too have a "night mode"?

The system has been repaired. 2 rapid shut down modules were bad. He had the parts with him

Interesting. I did think at first it could be an MCI issue but thought it odd that two went bad at the same time. I'm assuming one on each inverter string went bad causing both inverters to shutdown.

correct

Just curious. Any lightning in the area or something like that might have caused the issue?

nope, not at all. No rain or lightning

Where are the rapid shutdown modules? Are these part of the TEG or the inverters?

They are located underneath the panels

They are located underneath the panels

Do you also have optimizers? Are they the same?

 

[lucassaugen]

Do you also have optimizers? Are they the same?

No. These are devices that shutdown the panels solar production at the panel side and stop sending DC current to the inverters. It's fire code in a lot of states now.

I have micros. They don't have night mode as best I know.

Same thing happening to me this morning, unfortunately. Put in a service ticket through the app but I'm debating on calling instead.
