Inverter fault codes
An inverter truly is the heart of a solar power system. It changes the electrical current from DC to AC, the electricity needed to power your home. If your inverter stops working, this will mean your entire system will stop generating power altogether.
At SAE Group, we’re always keen to provide support when things don’t appear to be working as they should. To help you fast track any inverter issues you may be having, we’ve compiled this list of inverter fault codes to help you sort things out. However, we’d like to point out that this doesn’t necessarily mean we supply, repair or endorse the brands and/or products through the below button – this is merely just a guide to help you get back to enjoying the benefits of a solar powered lifestyle!
