CodeMessage & meaningModelType
Warning 401Warning
SP-CT/Meter Communication fault

The inverter isn't getting correct readings from its energy meter or current sensor (CT). This affects export limiting, battery charging and monitoring accuracy.

What you can do

  • Check the app. Generation may still be running normally
  • Don't open the switchboard
  • Call us to check the meter/CT wiring. If your system has an export limit, this needs fixing promptly

Warning 203Fault
PV1 or PV2 Circuit short

The inverter suspects a short circuit or reversed polarity on solar input PV1 or PV2.

What you can do

  • Do not touch any DC wiring
  • Call us or a licensed electrician

Warning 506Warning
Battery temperature out of specified range for charge or discharge

The battery temperature is outside the range allowed for charging or discharging, so battery use is paused.

What you can do

  • Check the battery area isn't in direct sun or freezing conditions and the vents are clear
  • Wait for the temperature to return to normal
  • If the battery is hot to the touch, smells or is swelling, keep clear and call us (000 if there is smoke or fire)

SPH 3000-6000TL BL-UP hybrid Inverter
AC V OutrangeWarning
Grid voltage fault

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.

What you can 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

What you can do

  • Wait for automatic reconnection
  • If it happens often, record the times and contact us

Over LoadWarning
EPS output overload

The EPS/backup output is overloaded. Growatt notes that after three overloads the off-grid function locks out for an hour before trying again.

What you can do

  • Switch off large appliances on backup circuits
  • Wait for the system to retry (some models lock out for a period after repeated overloads)
  • If it trips with only small loads on, or you suspect a short circuit, call an electrician

SPH 3000-6000TL BL-UP hybrid Inverter
No AC ConnectionWarning
No utility

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

What you can 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

SPH 3000-6000TL BL-UP hybrid Inverter
Output High DCIFault
Output DC current too high

The inverter detected too much DC current in its AC output, which the grid standards don't allow, so it disconnected.

What you can do

  • If it happened once and the system recovered, keep an eye on it
  • If it repeats, call us

Bat Voltage LowInfo
Battery voltage lower than 42V

The battery's state of charge or voltage is low, so the system has stopped discharging it to protect the cells.

What you can do

  • Allow it to recharge from solar (or the grid, if your settings allow)
  • Check the app for other alarms that could be stopping charging
  • If it stays low for days in good sun, call us. Batteries left flat for long periods can be damaged

Internal communication failed

The equipment's self-checks found an internal problem (for example relays, measuring circuits, internal communication or power electronics). Some of these clear by themselves after a one-off event, but repeated alarms usually need a technician.

What you can do

  • Note the code, time and whether it clears by itself
  • If your installer showed you the owner shutdown/restart procedure from the manufacturer's manual (summarised at the top of this page), you may restart the system once. Do not open covers or touch cabling.

PV Isolation LowCritical
PV isolation too low

The inverter measured low insulation resistance between the solar/battery DC circuits and earth. In Australia this is treated as an earth fault alarm, and the system must be checked by a licensed electrician.

What you can do

  • Do not touch panels, DC cables, rooftop isolators or the inverter's DC connectors
  • If it clears by itself after the weather dries out, still report it, because repeated alarms point to a developing fault
  • Book an electrician or call us. An insulation test needs specialist equipment
  • If you see smoke, burn marks or smell burning, keep clear and call 000

CT Open (MIN 7000-10000TL-X with cable CT)

On MIN 7-10k TL-X inverters that use a cable CT for export limiting, the inverter isn't getting a valid CT signal. Growatt says this warning was removed in DSP firmware AMAA04xx and later, and recommends a smart meter instead of a cable CT.

What you can do

  • Check the app. Generation may still be running normally
  • Don't open the switchboard
  • Call us to check the meter/CT wiring. If your system has an export limit, this needs fixing promptly
