What it means
The manual says: ARC Fault.
Part involved: Arc fault detection (AFCI).
Likely causes:
- Series DC arc detected.
Is it safe?
Switch the inverter off at its isolator and call an engineer.
| Does the inverter stop? | Yes |
|---|---|
| Severity | Safety lockout |
| Engineer needed? | Yes |
The inverter stops until the fault clears or is reset.
Resetting itself: yes, up to 5 times automatically; then manual Arc Clear.
Manual reset: yes - after an installer has inspected the DC side.
What you can check
- Read and note the exact code and time from the inverter display or app (screenshot).
- Leave the system off at the AC isolator if you smell burning or see scorching and call the installer.
- Do not reset repeatedly.
- 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
- Inspect every DC connection/MC4 pair, optimiser/connector mismatches, damaged cable.
- Thermal-image the array and DC isolators.
- Follow manufacturer arc-fault application note before clearing.
Who to ask for: PV installer.
Certification: Electrician competent in grid-connected PV (BS 7671 Section 712; IET Code of Practice for Grid-connected Solar PV), ideally the original MCS-certified PV installer; brand-approved/trained installer to keep manufacturer warranty.
