'Store/Use' not working after solar install

Hello Airstreamers--

We have a 2016 Int'l Serenity that is new to us in the last months. 'Store/Use' was working fine. Last week I had A Victron Smart Shunt kit, Victron Blue Smart IP22 Charger 12v/30A 120v, and 3 x 90watt, supposedly, Zamp 'Legacy' solar panels installed (I say 'supposedly' because the panels are black on the sides, not raw aluminum, as I was told they'd be). When I picked up the trailer and tested the 'Use' function (trailer was not connected to short at that point)--all was well. I got home and connected the AS to shore and the red light would not illuminate when the switch was moved from 'Use' to 'Store' and there is not electricity. I checked the cord connection at the trailer--all well and good. I tried a separate cord, same result. What might have gone wrong at AMSolar? Is there a connection that should have been made that wasn't? A blown fuse when they worked on it? Any ideas? We're going on a 2-week trip at week's end and I only have time in the evenings to trouble shoot. Thanks, in advance, for any help.

Nick

Are you hearing the normal relay “click” when hitting the USE - STORE button?

If not, there is an in-line glass fuse that may be out in the factory rats nest

Thanks. Yes, I do hear the solenoid engaging, but the use/store light does not illuminate. Is there another inverter switch elsewhere (like on the inverter? Where is the inverter on a 2016 AS Int'l Serenity). Appreciate the reply!
