What it means
The manual says: PV overvoltage - String open-circuit voltage higher than max DC input voltage.
Part involved: DC input.
Likely causes:
- String open-circuit voltage higher than max DC input voltage. | Troubleshooting: Measure string DC voltage; reduce modules per string; check temperature coefficient (EZ designer).
Is it safe?
| Does the inverter stop? | Yes |
|---|---|
| Engineer needed? | Yes |
The inverter stops until the fault clears or is reset.
Resetting itself: unknown.
Manual reset: Restart per GoodWe troubleshooting guide.
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.
- Contact your installer - common on very cold bright mornings if strings are over-sized.
What the engineer will check
- Measure Voc; redesign string.
Who to ask for: GoodWe-trained installer / MCS PV & battery installer.
Certification: Qualified electrician (BS 7671; MCS-certified PV installer for work on the PV array/DC side).
