When to Reboot
Do not attempt rebooting the inverter system during hot weather conditions. The optimal time to perform an inverter reboot is between 7 AM - 10 AM or 5 PM - 7 PM.
Why Inverters Might Require Rebooting
FIMER inverters have a built-in safety feature that automatically shuts down to prevent system risks (such as fires) when an MPPT shorting is detected. However, false positives may occur, requiring individual isolation of your system to prevent recurrence.
It is advised to consult with technical support through GAGAHub before carrying out a reboot.
