What it means
The manual says: PV/optimizer configuration invalid, reversed or short-circuited (Major).
Part involved: PV/optimizer configuration.
Likely causes:
- Too many/few optimizers per string; reversed output; strings swapped; weak sunlight (ID 8).
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: Installer corrects configuration or re-runs optimizer search.
What you can check
- Read the full code and message on the inverter screen or in the FusionSolar 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).
What the engineer will check
- Check module/optimizer counts per string, polarity, extension cables; re-run optimizer search in good sunlight.
Who to ask for: MCS-certified solar PV installer (DC/string work) or the original installer.
Certification: Work on DC strings and inverter enclosures: competent PV installer (MCS-certified installer for warranty/SEG continuity); electrical work notifiable under Part P (England & Wales) or equivalent.
