What you need to know
The Australian company that imported KLNE Sunteams inverter is no longer in business. It went into voluntary administration after installing a range of Sunteams inverters nation-wide. They are a red inverter unit and look very similar to another popular brand on the market, so you’ll need to check carefully to determine which one you own.
They were sold in various sizes including 1500, 2000, 3000, 4000 and 5000 models. This user manual refers to all five models in the Sunteams range:

Do you require KLNE Sunteams inverter repairs?
Having gone into liquidation KLNE Sunteams inverters are no longer in a position to uphold their warranty obligations. The business that originally installed your inverter may be able to arrange for it to be repaired, however this generally involves:
- Having the faulty inverter disconnected – at your expense.
- Shipping it to a warehouse which may be in another state – at your expense.
- Paying for any number of faults in the inverter to be repairs.
- Shipping the unit back to your house – at your expense.
- Having the repaired inverter reconnected – at your expense.
It can be a costly exercise! You may find it makes more sense to just install a brand new inverter that comes with the peace of mind of a new warranty.

How to check if your KLNE Sunteams inverter is faulty
Check that the green light on your inverter is lit. Check that the display screen is on. The second line of the display should cycle through important data such as the Etoday figure which can be used to determine your yield.
How to monitor your inverter’s yield
- At the end of the day, check the display for the Etoday figure and jot it down. Record it for a few days to be sure. If this number stays at zero production, there may be an issue with your solar panels or with your inverter.
- If this number has gone up, but not by as much as you’d expected, give us a call on 1300 496 278. We’ll check it in comparison with similar systems on our data monitoring network. For your peace of mind, we can add your inverter to our network by installing a smart meter. (Some smart meters also enable your system to be battery-ready.)
