What you can check
- Check the inverter LEDs (FAULT LED on = fault) and read the alarm in the SEMS Portal app or SolarGo app; note code, message and time for your installer.
- GoodWe's first step for this code is a restart. Ask your installer to talk you through it or do it - GoodWe's guide is written for installers and the power-down sequence involves the DC switch and battery.
What the engineer will check
- Restart; if persistent contact GoodWe service; update firmware.
