I recently purchased a house with solar panels already installed and took over the loan for them, thinking they were fully operational. However, I've noticed that I haven't received any solar credits on my power bills. After contacting my power company, I learned they haven't detected any surplus energy from my system in years—long before I bought the house.
I suspect the inverter might not be communicating with the grid and that I might need a new wifi gateway. Is there a reliable way to diagnose this issue? If it turns out to be the case, what kind of wifi gateway would you recommend?

First, find out the brand of your inverter. It's key for accessing its settings. After that, check if the breakers and disconnects are functioning properly; that’s a good starting point before diving deeper into the equipment.
