Sungrow Inverter Fault Codes

Sungrow Inverter Fault Codes

Sungrow inverters have earned their reputation as one of the best in the market, thanks in part to their adaptability to Australian conditions. Yet, no system is immune to occasional hitches. When these arise, your Sungrow inverter will display a fault code either on its panel or through its online portal. These codes are essentially a diagnostic tool, giving you a clearer picture of any irregularities.

In this guide, we’ll decode the Sungrow inverter fault codes for you. Each section will present the code number, describe its meaning, outline the behaviour you may notice, and provide actionable remedies.
