What do I do if my system goes offline?

It's important to reconnect your inverter as soon as possible. Here's how.

If your inverter is offline, it usually means that it has lost connection to the internet. Most likely the system itself is still working fine in the background to generate, store and distribute clean energy to your home.  However, it's very important to get your inverter back online so that potential faults and alarms can be monitored. It's also required by the inverter manufacturer, the network provider and by us.

The most common reasons your inverter goes offline are a lost connection to your home internet router or the software controller freezing during an update.

The good news is that getting your inverter back online is easy. First, you'll need to identify which inverter you have with your Plico system - Redback or Alpha ESS
