21st July 2025Is your solar PV system not generating data or has your solar DB tripped? Don’t worry, this quick guide will help you safely check the issue and get your system back on track.
Part 1: What to do if your solar DB trips
Firstly, let’s get to know the components of your solar DB below:
Now that you know your solar DB’s key components, follow these steps:
- Safety first:
- Make sure your hands are dry.
- Do not touch any exposed wires.
- Check for these DB scenarios:
- Scenario 1: If RCCB is DOWN > Push it UP to reset.
- Scenario 2: If both RCCB & MCB are DOWN > Push MCB UP first, then RCCB UP.
Observe what happens next:
-
- If it trips immediately after step 2 above – stop resetting further. Send us a photo/video via WhatsApp at 012-5928010 for further assistance.
- If both switches stay UP, your solar PV system is working fine. Continue to monitor via the Solaroo app.

- Check your solar DB first:
- Repeat the safety steps as per Part 1 above.
- Ensure all switches, especially RCCB, are UP.
- If anything is DOWN, follow the solar DB trip steps under Part 1 above.
