SolarEdge Inverter Status Light Guide

Last reviewed

Quick answer

On a SolarEdge inverter, a solid green light means the system is producing power, a blue light means it's connected to SolarEdge monitoring, and a red light means there's a fault that needs service. If no lights are on, check that the inverter's twist knob and your solar breaker are both set to ON.

The front of your SolarEdge inverter has a status light that shows one of three colors. Checking it is the fastest way to see whether your solar system is working.

What do the lights on a SolarEdge inverter mean?

Light	What it means	What to do
Green	The system is producing power. Solid green means it's working correctly.	Nothing, as long as the blue light is also on.
Blue	The inverter is connected to the SolarEdge monitoring app.	If blue is off, your system isn't reporting to monitoring. Reconnect it so you can track production.
Red	The system has an error.	Call Icon Power. A red light needs attention and may need a service visit for repair or replacement.

What should I see when everything is working?

Solid green and blue: The system is producing power and connected to monitoring. This is the ideal state.
Green only, no blue: The system is producing power, but monitoring is disconnected. Your panels are still working, but you can't track performance until it reconnects.

What if no lights are on?

Make sure the twist knob on the inverter is turned to ON.
Make sure the solar breaker in your electrical panel is ON.
If you have more than one SolarEdge inverter, check the subpanel and make sure every breaker connected to the inverters is ON.

If the lights are still off after these checks, call Icon Power at (888) 777-3766.

Frequently asked questions

Is my system producing if only the green light is on?

Yes. Green means the system is producing power. The missing blue light only means it isn't reporting to the SolarEdge monitoring app.

Is a red light dangerous?

A red light means the system has detected an error and isn't working as it should. Don't open the inverter. Call Icon Power so a technician can diagnose it.

Where can I find SolarEdge's own LED guide?

SolarEdge publishes an LED indicator guide with more technical detail.
