Special Screens
Special message screens are displayed in specific situations that are not
considered fault situations. They can appear in any mode of operation. These
screens are described in Table 5-10.
Custom Screens
Two custom screens are available. The inverter does not display them unless they
are configured using GT-View (see page 3–15). If programmed, the custom
screens display as the fourth and fifth screens during the startup sequence. They
can also be viewed by tapping the unit during normal operation and fault mode.
The first custom screen is intended for the home owner to display information
such as the name or location of the PV array associated with the inverter.
The second custom screen is intended for installers, who can configure the screen
to display, for example, contact information for service.

The “*” in these two screens (see Table 5-2 and Table 5-4)
indicates that the unit is derating its output power because the
inverter heat sink temperature is above 75° C (167° F).
The asterisk only appears when the power is actually being
limited by the inverter.

Insufficient
Solar Energy Indicates the GT Inverter is not producing power due to
insufficient solar energy during low light conditions in early
morning or late afternoon or when the PV array is in shade.
This screen flashes alternately with the Normal Operation
default screen.
