Hello I've just registered in a desperately need of some help.. I think I have burnt the inverter.. but I really hope not.
Today I was reinstalling my solar system after two months been stored away. I had to reconnect all the cables to their fuse box(? )(how you call them... Like a fuse box you use to control (on/off) your house electricity). So I connected all the cables and switch everything on and nothing went on, no lights went on at all, not the inverter led nor the controller LEDs.. so I thought it was because batteries were dead and well perhaps the inverter wouldn't go on if they had no power coming in.. and it was about 4-5pm. I left for 1 hour and when I came back and went to check on the system it was really hot and it was smelling weird, like burnt maybe.
When I was checking all the cables I found out the cable that was coming out of the inverter that says 'AC output' it was connected to the cables that were coming from the 'controller->batteries'.. 😥 which I believe should've gone to the main electricity switch of the house... The main electricity switch of the house was connected to the 'controller-batteries' cables.. so the other way around!! BIG MISTAKE I know.. it happened for following the electricity fuse box(?) Instead of the cables!!! And they were on the wrong boxes (the other way around, hence my mistake!) which were previously installed by someone else..
I feel terrible this was my last chance, all I had in this remote place.. so the big question, which I feel I know the answer is.. is it burnt? Over? Should I commit suicide now? Or do I have an option? A little light at the end of the corridor? I really really hope so 😥
Thank you for reading and for any help I'd be really grateful as I have no one who knows about this around.
