What you can check
- Read and note the exact code or light pattern and the time (photo or app screenshot).
- Check the battery/inverter AC isolator and the consumer-unit breaker are ON. Do not keep resetting a breaker that trips again straight away.
- Never open the battery, inverter or gateway casing and never touch DC cables, connectors or battery terminals.
- If the code stays or keeps coming back, contact your installer (quote the code) - do not keep power-cycling.
What the engineer will check
- Battery on/off switches and DC MCB are installer actions inside the battery system; check BMS CAN cable and polarity; update firmware.
Who to ask for: battery storage installer.
Certification: GivEnergy approved installer (manual: all GivEnergy equipment must be installed by a GivEnergy approved installer); MCS battery certification.
