• To work safely, please disconnect the inverter from the 230V power supply, then disconnect your solar panels.

• Disconnect the solar panels by pressing on the MC4 connectors and pulling on the connectors.

• Make sure the solar panel is not dirty or damaged. A dirty solar panel can lose up to 15% of its output.

Solar panels can be cleaned with lukewarm water and a soft cloth. Do not use detergents. Do not scratch the surface of the panel to avoid scratching the surface glass.

• Check that each weld line connecting the cells is perfectly straight.

• If the solar panel is cut or damaged, its production will be more or less affected.

• Position your solar panel in full sunlight.

• Use a multimeter to check the voltage of each solar panel.
• Configure your multimeter to measure a 20Vdc voltage.

• Position the Volt terminal of your multimeter on the “+” connector of the solar panel.
• Position the Gnd terminal of your multimeter on the “-” connector of the solar panel.
• With full sun and no load, each solar panel should supply 10.7Vdc.

• Reconnect each solar panel to the inverter, and then reconnect the inverter to your 230V outlet.
• Wait about 3 minutes for your inverter to start up.
• Then launch your AvidsenHome application

• On the SORIA kit home page, click on “PV puissance”.

• The “Photovoltaic voltage” value corresponds to the voltage supplied by your solar panels. With 4 compliant solar panels, you should have a value of 34V
• The “Photovoltaic current” value corresponds to the current produced by your solar panels. This value will depend on the positioning of your solar panels and the sun’s light output. A good exposure should be around 10A.

Example of a poorly connected or faulty solar panel

• Photovoltaic voltage is incorrect
• Photovoltaic current is correct

Incorrect exposure or low light intensity

• Photovoltaic voltage is correct
• Photovoltaic current is incorrect

It’s normal to have these values in autumn and winter.
