Ensure to inspect the inverter – the central “brain” of your solar system and its most crucial component. Acting as the primary link between the solar panels and electrical output, its well-being is paramount. Always verify your warranty status and ensure your inverter is current. If it displays a flashing red light or error codes, contact a service technician from Empire Home Pros promptly to address any issues. Remember, green indicates normal operation, orange signals a detected problem, and red indicates a system issue. If your inverter is no longer under warranty, consider upgrading to stay covered and benefit from the latest technology advancements.
