Solax Inverter Error and Fault Codes

Solair Electrical / Solar repairs

Understand your SolaX inverter fault

A fault message tells you what the inverter has detected, not necessarily which part needs replacing. Find the message below, note when it appeared, and see the safest next step.

We help homeowners in Redlands and Brisbane Bayside with solar inverter fault finding. Call 0405 685 441 or send us the model and fault message.

Before you check the display

Use the app or an accessible display only when it is safe to approach. Do not open covers, unplug cables, test electrical terminals, climb onto the roof, or change protection settings. Solar and battery equipment can remain electrically live even when generation has stopped. Electrical tests and repairs belong with a licensed electrician.

Smoke, fire or immediate danger? Move away, keep others clear and call 000. Do not touch someone still in contact with electricity. For a shock or tingle, stay clear of equipment, seek medical advice and contact Energex on 13 19 62. Do not approach the switchboard to investigate.

Match the model as well as the code

This is a selected-code guide, not a list for every SolaX inverter. Each confirmed entry names its source family. Newer, older and battery models may use different definitions. Send a model-label photo only if you can take it safely without moving or opening equipment.

Keep a screenshot of the code, the date and time, and note whether it followed rain, an outage or a change in normal operation. There is no universal shutdown or restart sequence in this guide.
