If your inverter ends up being the problem then it may be covered under the manufacturers’ warranty. Schneider Conext RL inverters are covered by a 5-year manufacturer warranty so if it’s still within this period you can make a claim. A warranty claim must be submitted to Schneider for a replacement inverter.
Schneider require the following when submitting a warranty claim:
- Model Number
- Serial Number (which should be visible on the side of the inverter)
- Proof of purchase (this can be your Tax Invoice, STC Form or paperwork showing the installation date and inverter)
If your inverter is over 5 years old, and therefore not under warranty, you will need to contact a solar accredited electrician to discuss replacing the inverter as soon as possible.
