Solar panels not working

rumar · 2017-04-08 15:26:43

Anyone any idea what could be wrong with my solar panels? Joule thermostat has an exclamation mark flashing and the collector temp is 185. But that doesn't seem to be releasing to our tank. No answer from our plumber which is why I'm asking here

It most likely has locked out due to being over 120 degrees . When it cools down below 120 it wil reset . Probably tomorrow .
You should check the sight glass in the controller . The brown ball should be up around the 4-6 litres/ min when the pump is on .
If not then you have excess air in your system and it will need to be removed and possibly the system recharged .

Too late to do anything about it tonight .
