It took months of complaining with Voltage data extracted every 10 minutes to convince supplier that voltages were outside standards
it then took Supplier about 2 months to replace appropriate area transformer to stop the issue. Since that time it has worked 100%

Solis (Inverter manufacturer) insists this ‘panel message’ is not an issue, and will not affect the amount of solar power generated. They suggest that I have the panels inspected and cleaned to overcome this issue.
AUSNET ,the power distributer, insist it is an issue with the Solis inverter. They recommended that I go back to ‘Solis’ and the actual installer.
The installer ‘installs’ units only, and has very little idea how they actually work!
I am in the process of getting a completely independent, local electrical contractor to do a complete check of the entire solar set up at my residence.
The next step is going to be the ‘Energy and Water Ombudsman Victoria’.
Any advice you can offer would be really appreciated.
