33Warning
Fac Fault

The grid frequency is outside the permitted range.

What you can do

  • This is caused by the mains frequency moving outside the allowed range, usually briefly
  • The inverter reconnects by itself once the grid is stable
  • If it keeps happening, note the times and call your installer

34Warning
Vac Fault

The grid voltage is outside the permitted range.

What you can do

  • This is usually caused by the mains supply, not the solar system
  • The inverter normally reconnects by itself once grid voltage is back in range
  • If it happens often (especially on sunny afternoons), note the times and call your installer - they can check the voltage and settings and talk to the network if needed

35Info
No Utility Grid Available

The utility cannot be detected: no utility, grid disconnected, AC cables damaged, fuse broken or island mode.

What you can do

  • Check whether the rest of your house or street has power, and check your network operator's outage map
  • Check the switchboard for a tripped solar/inverter breaker - reset it once only; if it trips again, leave it off and call an electrician
  • Once normal power is back the inverter usually reconnects on its own within a few minutes
  • If the power is normal but the alarm stays, call your installer
