GoodWe inverter & battery error codes and what they mean

GoodWe hybrid inverters and Lynx Home batteries report problems through the SEMS+/SolarGo app (and on newer models as F-codes such as F01 or F18). Find your code below to see what it means in plain English, what usually causes it, what you can safely check yourself, and when to call a licensed electrician.

Guide only. These fault codes are a general guide only. All work on solar panels, inverters and batteries must be performed by a licensed electrician.

Safety first, please read

  • Solar panels and batteries produce dangerous DC voltage whenever there is daylight or charge in the battery, even with the mains switched off. Electrical work on these systems must only be done by a licensed electrician.
  • Never open the inverter or battery, and don't unplug, touch or adjust DC cables, connectors or isolators except for the owner shutdown steps in your manufacturer's manual.
  • For an isolation/insulation fault, earth fault, arc fault, residual-current fault or battery over-temperature alarm, or any smoke, burning smell, hissing, swelling, leaking or water damage: only switch off if the manufacturer's procedure lets you do it safely, keep everyone clear, and call a licensed electrician or Total Solar.
  • If there is fire or smoke, get everyone out and call 000. Tell the fire service there is a solar and battery system on site.
  • Don't climb on the roof to check or clean panels. Do checks from the ground only.

Owner shutdown and restart (GoodWe)

GoodWe's ESA (ETA-G20) manual gives this power-off order for maintenance: switch off the BACK-UP breaker, then the GRID breaker, then hold any battery's multifunction button for 5 seconds and switch off the battery system switch, then (where fitted) the PV breaker and the inverter's DC switch. Older ET/EH/ES manuals differ. Only use this if your installer has shown you how, and only if it is safe.

ET/BT G20 hybrid (ESA) incl. GW9.999K-ETA-G20 (159 codes)

F01Grid Power OutageWarning

What it means: The inverter cannot see a normal mains supply, so it has stopped exporting to the grid (and a hybrid system may switch to backup).

Likely causes:

  • Power outage in your street or area
  • A tripped or switched-off solar/inverter circuit breaker in the switchboard
  • Loose AC connection between the switchboard and the inverter

What you can safely do:

  • Check whether the rest of the house (or your neighbours) has power, and check your network operator's outage map
  • Check the switchboard for a tripped solar supply main switch or inverter breaker. Only reset it once. If it trips again, leave it off and call an electrician
  • Wait. Once normal grid power is back, the inverter normally reconnects by itself after its safety checks (often a few minutes)
  • If grid power is normal but the alarm stays, call us
Usually no electrician needed. Call us if it persists

F02Grid Overvoltage ProtectionWarning

What it means: The mains voltage the inverter measured was outside the limits allowed for your network, so it disconnected or reduced output to protect the grid. This is usually a grid condition, not a faulty inverter.

Likely causes:

  • High street voltage, common on sunny afternoons when many homes export solar
  • Grid disturbances or voltage dips
  • Long or undersized AC cabling between the inverter and the switchboard (installation issue)
  • Grid protection settings that don't match your network's requirements

What you can safely do:

  • Wait. The inverter reconnects by itself once voltage is back within limits
  • Note the time of day it happens. If it happens most sunny days, tell us, because it may need a voltage check or a report to your network operator
  • Don't try to change grid protection settings yourself. In Australia they are set to AS/NZS 4777.2 and your network operator's requirements
Usually no electrician needed. Call us if it persists

09/17/29Utility Loss / VAC Failure / FAC FailureWarning

What it means: The inverter cannot see a normal mains supply, so it has stopped exporting to the grid (and a hybrid system may switch to backup).

Likely causes:

  • Power outage in your street or area
  • A tripped or switched-off solar/inverter circuit breaker in the switchboard
  • Loose AC connection between the switchboard and the inverter

What you can safely do:

  • Check whether the rest of the house (or your neighbours) has power, and check your network operator's outage map
  • Check the switchboard for a tripped solar supply main switch or inverter breaker. Only reset it once. If it trips again, leave it off and call an electrician
  • Wait. Once normal grid power is back, the inverter normally reconnects by itself after its safety checks (often a few minutes)
  • If grid power is normal but the alarm stays, call us
Usually no electrician needed. Call us if it persists
