What it means

The manual says: BMS_LowerVolt - low voltage in battery system.

Part involved: Battery voltage / state of charge.

Likely causes:

  • Battery BMS-reported condition; manual says contact SolaX (via installer).

Is it safe?

Does the battery stop?Partly
SeverityWarning

The battery keeps running with some functions stopped.

Resetting itself: usually - clears once the battery recharges from PV or grid.

Manual reset: sometimes (battery activation/force charge).

What you can check

  • Read and note the exact code and time from the inverter display or app (screenshot).
  • Check the battery is switched on and not paused in the app.
  • Check reserve/charge settings in the app; in cold weather charging may pause below 0 C.
  • Where the SolaX manual says 'press the ESC key to restart the inverter', a homeowner can do that on the display. Steps that say 'disconnect PV+/PV-/battery' are for the installer only.

What the engineer will check

  • Measure battery voltage.
  • Force-charge / battery activation per manual.
  • Check BMS alarms and cell imbalance.
  • Check DC breaker and polarity.

Who to ask for: Battery installer.

Certification: Electrician competent in electrical energy storage (BS 7671 Chapter 57; IET Code of Practice for Electrical Energy Storage Systems), ideally the MCS battery installer (MIS 3012); brand-approved installer to keep warranty.
