(2) Display area
Area①---Working status information
● This area displays the status information. “Waiting” indicates the inverter is standby for power generation; “ Checking **S”
(checking time is based on safety, and varies from country to country) indicates the inverter is self-checking, counting down and
preparing for power generation. “Normal” indicates the inverter is generating power. If any condition of the system is abnormal,
