What you can check
- Read the full code and message on the inverter screen or in the FoxCloud app and note the date/time for your installer.
- Check the inverter's AC isolator next to the inverter and the solar/battery breaker in the consumer unit are ON (do not reset a breaker that trips again - call your installer).
- Common in unheated garages in winter - charging resumes when the battery warms; tell your installer if it persists.
What the engineer will check
- Check battery location against minimum charge temperature; consider heating/relocation.
Who to ask for: Battery/hybrid installer trained on the specific battery (manufacturer-approved installer).
Certification: Battery and hybrid-inverter DC work: installer trained/approved by the manufacturer; electrical work under BS 7671 by a competent person.
