Trouble shooting

Our quality control program assures that every inverter is manufactured to accurate

specifications and is thoroughly tested before leaving our factory. If you have

difficulty in the operation of your inverter, please read through the following

information to correct the problem.

9.1  Error Messages displayed on LCD

An error message will be displayed on the LCD screen when a fault occurs. The faults

consist of system fault and inverter fault.

You may be advised to contact Growatt in some situation, please provide the

following information.

Information concerning the inverter:

Serial number

Model number

Error message on LCD

Short description of the problem

Grid voltage

DC input voltage

Can you reproduce the failure? If yes, how?

Has this problem occurred in the past?

What was the ambient condition when the problem occurred?

Manufacturer name and model number of the PV panel

Output power of the panel

Voc of the panel

Vmp of the panel

Imp of the panel

Number of panels in each string

Information concerning the PV panels:

If it is necessary to replace the unit, please ship it in the original box.

9.2  System fault
