Why is my solar inverter offline or showing a fault light?
EKO Solar Pros · Solar repair and troubleshooting · Metro Atlanta · Updated 2026-09-21
A solar inverter that is offline or showing a fault light has detected a problem, and resetting it only clears the message, not the cause. The fault code is a symptom; the cause can be a board, a connection or the wiring. EKO Solar Pros diagnoses inverter faults in metro Atlanta with live testing at the inverter and then tests the panels, optimizers and connectors on the roof.
Should I keep resetting my solar inverter when it shows a fault?
No. A reset clears the message; it does not clear the problem. If the cause is still there, the fault will come back. It is better to have the system tested so the actual cause is found.
What causes a solar inverter fault code?
A fault code is a symptom rather than a diagnosis. The cause can be a board, a connection or the wiring. That is why EKO Solar Pros tests at the inverter and also checks the roof side of the system, including panels, optimizers and connectors.

How does EKO Solar Pros diagnose an inverter that is offline?
A solar technician does live testing at the inverter to find the cause of the fault. Then the roof side is checked, and the panels, optimizers and connectors are tested too. This covers the whole system instead of only the part showing the error.
Can an inverter fault be caused by something on the roof?
It can. The inverter reports the fault, but the cause may be in a connection or the wiring elsewhere in the system. That is why EKO Solar Pros tests the panels, optimizers and connectors as well as the inverter.
