Atel Solar Energy Monitors: troubleshooting and FAQs
Troubleshooting tips and frequently asked questions for Atel Solar Energy Monitors.
Troubleshooting tips
Verify that the solar monitor's CT clamps are securely attached to the correct phase and neutral wires, and that the arrow on the CT points toward the load (inverter or grid). A reversed CT will cause inaccurate or negative readings.
Check the monitor's Wi-Fi or RS-485 connection: ensure the router is within range (for Wi-Fi models) or that the RS-485 cable is properly terminated and not exceeding 1000 meters. Restart the monitor and router to re-establish communication.
Inspect the solar panels and inverter for any error codes or physical damage (e.g., shading, debris, or tripped breakers). The monitor may show zero generation if the inverter is offline or the panels are not producing.
Update the monitor's firmware via the Atel mobile app or web portal. Outdated firmware can cause data logging errors or connectivity issues. Check the Atel support site for the latest version.
Calibrate the monitor's voltage and current readings using a known reference meter. If readings are consistently off by more than 2%, contact Atel support for calibration instructions or a replacement unit.
