I've only had the "tapping" method work on SB-22 inverters, not on -40
inverters. You gotta log on to the machine which I think you can only
do onsite. Has anyone ever done a reset of the 8206 from the portal?

Hey Folks,
How do you clear an 8206 from a SB7.7-US? the manual says tap on the
cover within 10 seconds of error message. That's not working.
Does that tap then set it up for the next restart or is it supposed to
clear it right away - I've tried restarting again to no avail.
When I tap right after the message appears it simply toggles to the
next screen.

Hello Wrenches,
You may be aware of this but the -92R firmware supposedly has
addressed the arc fault issue for the US-40 inverters. See here for
the download:
https://www.sma-america.com/service-support/downloads.html It fixed
an arc fault issue for me yesterday at least. Bring a thumb drive,
the update process took about an hour to perform.

Same up here in the southern sierra. I get calls from ABB and a
few from SMA to look at systems that people far away installed
and as a local 3rd party it can save some money. Whatever they
quote me I triple the price. 1/3 up front and the rest when it is
done. ABB is really slow with payment. I think they sold their
inverter business? Sunpower is a great panel but they have had
some bad runs. Probably why there are so many new/used panels on
the secondary market. They are great for Offgrid ground arrays
and no AFD.

Chris,
Sunpower has taken some responsibility on some of our older
Sunpower systems that are arc faulting. We tell them that a
system is arc faulting, and then they insist on sending up a 3rd
party contractor to inspect the system and potentially install
what they call "Tigo Diodes". I am still not exactly sure what
that is. It also seems to take them months to send anyone to
upstate NY, as we have a bunch of customers that have been
waiting months for the 3rd party contractor to come take a look.
You likely could only follow this route though if the system was
installed by a Sunpower dealer and you are a Sunpower dealer
yourself. If the original system was from a Sunpower dealer, you
can also have the customer call Sunpower directly.
Cheers,
Dave
