It s also possible that one solar panel in your pv array failed. Solar power from the inverter is either sent back into the main breaker box through the main breaker same as the grid power or it is sold to grid. Connect red and black wires to the circuit breaker and snap in place.

As the pv modules are connected in series one failing pv module will shut down the entire system. This production meter will measure all of the solar power generated regardless of if you use it or sell it. Check for voltage at the wire connection terminals on the side of the receptacle. See the video below.

To patch into the existing system when you disconnect the wires from the electric box strip the ends of the black and white wires and twist them together with the wires from the inverter. Zero output is a common problem and in nine out of ten cases it is due to a faulty inverter or charge controller. Tie the neutral white wire the neutral buss bar and the bare copper or green wire the ground bar. Verify the voltage is correct.

Line side taps do not interfere with net metering or feed in tariffs fit although an additional meter may be required as a dedicated production meter. No power at the connection terminal indicates a break in the wire. Make sure all wires are secure then turn on the main. You will need to decide which circuits you want to draw power from your solar panels.
