| Fault | What it means | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| F08 | Deye | GFDI relay failure | The inverter's ground-fault detection (GFDI) relay has failed a self-test, or the neutral/earth bonding doesn't match the configured grid type. On deployed firmware and rebadged (Sunsynk) units this is one of the most-reported codes and is very often a grid-type setting mismatch (e.g. set to 120/240V split-phase when the system is actually single-phase) rather than a true hardware fault. (Note: the current official Deye AU and EU manuals do NOT list an F08 - they number the equivalent start/ground self-check as F07. Confirm against your unit's firmware.) |
| F13 | Deye | Working mode / grid mode changed | An informational event, not a hardware fault. The official manual logs it when the grid type or frequency setting changes, when the battery mode is switched to 'No battery', or (on some older firmware) when the system work mode changes. It normally clears itself. |
| F15 | Deye | AC over-current (software) | The inverter's software protection has detected excessive current on the AC side (listed in the official manual as 'AC over current fault of software'). Can be triggered by a heavy backup or common load, or by an AC sensing issue. |
| F16 | Deye | AC leakage current fault | The residual-current monitor has detected earth-leakage current above its threshold (official manual: 'AC leakage current fault'), which can indicate a PV array insulation problem or moisture in connectors. The manual's listed remedy focuses on the PV-side cable ground connection. |
| F18 | Deye | AC over-current (hardware) | A hardware-level over-current trip on the AC side (official manual: 'AC over current fault of hardware'), typically from too much load on the backup and/or common-load outputs. |
| F20 | Deye | DC over-current (hardware) | A hardware-level over-current trip on the DC side (PV or battery) - official manual: 'DC over current fault of the hardware'. Common when an off-grid/backup system is started into a large load, where inrush current briefly exceeds limits. |
| F22 | Deye | Emergency stop / remote shutdown (Tz_EmergStop_Fault) | The inverter has been shut down by a remote-control or emergency-stop signal - it is being commanded off, not failing. The official manual states 'it tells the inverter is remotely controlled'. |
| F23 | Deye | Transient leakage / GFCI over-current (Tz_GFCI_OC_Fault) | A transient earth-leakage (residual-current) over-current event, often linked to PV-side earthing. Confirmed in the official manual as 'Tz_GFCI_OC current is transient over current / leakage current fault'. |
| F24 | Deye | DC insulation / isolation impedance failure | PV insulation resistance to earth is too low - the array's isolation impedance has dropped (official manual: 'DC insulation failure - PV isolation resistance is too low'), which can mean a damaged cable, water ingress, or a faulty panel/connector. |
| F26 | Deye | DC busbar unbalanced | The internal DC busbar is unbalanced. The official manual notes it is logged when load across the phases is very uneven, and that it can also indicate DC leakage current. |
| F29 | Deye | Parallel CAN bus fault | A communication fault on the parallel-link (CAN) bus between inverters in a multi-unit/parallel system. The official manual notes it is normal to see this briefly while a parallel system is powering up, and it clears once all units are ON. |
| F34 | Deye | AC overload fault | The connected load exceeds what the inverter can supply (official manual: 'AC Overcurrent fault'), typically on the backup/EPS output. A common owner-facing code when too many appliances run at once on backup power. |
| F35 | Deye | No AC grid (AC_NoUtility_Fault) | The inverter cannot detect a valid utility grid - i.e. the grid is absent or out of acceptable voltage/frequency range. Often simply a grid outage or a tripped supply breaker; on three-phase units it can also be caused by incorrect phase rotation/sequence. (Note: this F35 numbering is from deployed/Sunsynk firmware; the current official Deye manuals do not list an F35 - confirm against your unit.) |
| F41 | Deye | Parallel system stop | In a parallel installation, one inverter has shut down, which causes the other paralleled inverters to report F41 and stop as a group (official manual: 'if there is 1 pcs hybrid inverter shutdown, all hybrid inverters will report F41'). |
| F42 | Deye | AC line low voltage | Measured grid (AC line) voltage is below the allowed range (official manual: 'AC line low voltage / grid voltage fault'). Frequently a grid-side condition (sagging supply) rather than an inverter fault. |
| F46 | Deye | Backup battery fault | A fault with the connected battery (or batteries). The official Deye AU and EU manuals decode F46 as 'backup battery fault' and advise checking each battery's status - voltage, SOC and parameter settings - and making sure all parameters match. (Earlier third-party lists mislabelled F46 as 'AC under-voltage'; the decoded official manuals do not support that - treat F46 as a battery fault.) |
| F47 | Deye | AC over-frequency | Grid frequency is above the allowed range, so the inverter disconnects per grid-protection (anti-islanding) rules. Usually a grid-side event. |
| F48 | Deye | AC under-frequency | Grid frequency is below the allowed range, so the inverter disconnects per grid-protection rules (official manual: 'AC lower frequency - grid frequency out of range'). Usually a grid-side event. |
| F55 | Deye | DC bus voltage too high | The internal DC bus (busbar) voltage is too high (official manual: 'DC busbar voltage is too high - BUS voltage is too high') - typically because battery voltage or PV input voltage is above the allowed range. |
| F56 | Deye | DC bus voltage too low | The internal DC bus (busbar) voltage is too low - most often a flat or very low battery, or insufficient PV. Confirmed in the official manual as 'DC busbar voltage is too low - battery voltage low'. |
| F58 | Deye | BMS communication fault | Communication between the hybrid inverter and the battery BMS has been lost. The official manual flags it as a fault when the 'BMS_Err-Stop' protection is enabled and the BMS link drops (e.g. wrong comms cable, wrong battery protocol, or a loose RJ45). |
| F63 | Deye | ARC fault (AFCI) | The arc-fault detection (AFCI) circuit has detected a possible DC arc on the PV side. The official manual notes this detection is enabled for the US market; many AU units will not raise it. |
| F64 | Deye | Heat-sink high temperature failure | The inverter's heat sink is too hot and it has shut down to protect itself (official manual: 'Heatsink high temperature failure - heatsink temperature is too high') - usually caused by a hot/poorly ventilated install location or blocked airflow. |
| AC Frequency Out Of Range | Enphase | Grid frequency too high or too low | The microinverter is measuring a grid frequency outside its safe operating band (nominal 50 Hz in Australia) and goes offline as required by grid-protection rules. It must stay off until the grid has been continuously within limits for a set period; if frequency strays again during that window, the timer restarts. |
| AC Voltage Out Of Range | Enphase | Grid voltage too high or too low | The microinverter is measuring AC (grid) voltage outside the limits set by its grid profile, so it disconnects and stops exporting until the grid settles back within range. In Australia high readings are extremely common on long suburban streets at midday when lots of solar is exporting and pushing local voltage up. |
| DC Power Too Low | Enphase | Panel producing too little power | Closely related to DC Voltage Too Low — the microinverter is measuring DC power below its operating threshold. Most often this is just low light (dawn, dusk, shade, cloud). If it occurs in full sun, it can point to a shaded, soiled or underperforming panel, or a degraded DC connection. |
| DC Resistance Low - Power Off | Enphase | Insulation resistance to earth too low | An insulation-resistance (IR) sensor in the microinverter measures the resistance to earth from the positive and negative DC inputs. If it drops below the acceptable threshold (around 7 kΩ on IQ units), the unit stops producing and latches off. On IQ8 units this shows as a solid red status LED (after DC power has been cycled), and the gateway keeps reporting the fault until it is cleared. Common causes are moisture ingress, damaged cabling/connectors, or degraded module insulation. |
| DC Voltage Too High | Enphase | Too much DC input from the panel | The microinverter reports DC input voltage from the solar module above its rated maximum. On a correctly matched panel/microinverter pairing this is unusual and generally suggests a microinverter malfunction or a module/wiring mismatch. |
| DC Voltage Too Low | Enphase | Not enough DC input from the panel | The microinverter is seeing DC input voltage from its solar module below the level needed to operate. This is completely normal early morning, late evening, in heavy shade, or on very overcast days. If it appears in good daylight, it can indicate a poor or broken DC connection between the panel and the microinverter, or — on a new system — that a grid profile still needs to be applied at commissioning before the units will produce. |
| Device Produced No Power | Enphase | No energy generated in the last 24 hours | A microinverter that previously produced has generated no power within the last 24 hours. Causes range across the grid (a profile/voltage/frequency condition keeping it off), the AC side (a tripped breaker or isolator), or a failed unit. |
| Gateway / Envoy Not Reporting | Enphase | IQ Gateway not sending data to Enphase | The IQ Gateway (Envoy) itself has stopped uploading data to the Enphase cloud, so the whole system appears offline in the app. This is almost always an internet/connectivity problem (router, Wi-Fi, or the gateway's own connection) rather than a solar production fault — your panels may still be generating normally. |
| GFI Tripped | Enphase | Ground-fault current detected | The microinverter's built-in ground-fault (GFI) sensor has detected leakage current to earth during normal operation and has opened the circuit to protect against a fault. It can be triggered by moisture/weather, but a persistent trip points to damaged module insulation (such as cracked module glass), a damaged connector or cable, or water ingress. |
| Grid Gone | Enphase | No grid / AC supply detected | The microinverter has disconnected from the grid/mains because it cannot detect a valid supply, so it shuts down. Enphase units are anti-islanding by design and will not produce power without a stable grid present. This appears during a blackout, or when an AC isolator, breaker or RCD on the solar circuit has been switched off. |
| Microinverter Failed to Report | Enphase | Gateway has lost contact with a microinverter | The IQ Gateway is no longer receiving data from one or more microinverters over the powerline communication (PLC) link, so the panel shows grey (not reporting). It can be caused by powerline-communication interference (e.g. a surge strip, noise source, or the gateway being plugged into a power board rather than a wall outlet), a tripped solar breaker/isolator, an AC wiring issue, or a failed unit — it does not necessarily mean the panel has stopped producing. |
| Microinverter Not Detected / Not Found | Enphase | New microinverter not discovered during commissioning | During or after installation the IQ Gateway / Enphase Installer App cannot find a microinverter to add it to the system. This is a commissioning-stage condition (the device shows as "not discovered") rather than a logged operational fault, and usually means the unit isn't yet powered, hasn't been given time to be discovered, or its serial wasn't scanned correctly. |
| Over Temperature / Critical Temperature | Enphase | Microinverter running too hot | An internal temperature measurement inside the microinverter is above its normal range. To protect itself it automatically reduces (derates) its power output, and in extreme cases shuts down, until it cools; full power resumes once the temperature falls to an acceptable level. Note this is an internal reading, not ambient air temperature (IQ8 units run at full power up to about 50 °C ambient and derate above that). It can be driven by very high roof temperatures or restricted airflow behind the panel. |
| 102 | Fronius | AC voltage too high | The grid voltage measured at the inverter is above the safe threshold, so it disconnects to protect itself. The single most common Fronius state. |

| 509 | Fronius | No feed-in for 24 hours | The inverter hasn't fed energy into the grid in the past 24 hours. |
| 516 | Fronius | No communication with storage unit | The inverter can't communicate with the connected battery/storage unit. |

| 61440 | Huawei | Monitoring unit faulty | The flash memory is insufficient, or it has bad sectors. |
| 1002 | Sigenergy | Low insulation resistance (ISO fault) | The inverter has measured low insulation resistance on the PV (DC) side — meaning the system is detecting a possible leakage path to earth. Common triggers are moisture ingress in a connector or cable, a damaged DC cable, or a string partially shorting to the protective earth (PE). It often appears in the early morning when humidity is highest and may self-clear as things dry out. |
| 1003 | Sigenergy | Inverter over-temperature | The inverter has exceeded its safe internal operating temperature and has throttled or shut down to protect itself. Usual causes are high ambient temperature, the unit sitting in direct sun, or restricted airflow/poor ventilation around the tower. |
| 1006 | Sigenergy | String input overvoltage (PV) | The DC voltage from a PV string (the sub-ID identifies which string — e.g. ID1 = String 1) is above the inverter's maximum allowed input voltage. This almost always means too many panels were wired in series for that string, and the problem shows up worst on cold, bright mornings when panel voltage peaks. |
| 1009 | Sigenergy | AFCI fault (DC arc detected) | The arc-fault circuit interrupter has detected what looks like an electrical arc on a PV string (the sub-ID flags which string). This is a genuine fire-safety feature — arcs are usually caused by a damaged DC cable, a loose or corroded connector, or a poor contact at a string terminal. |
| 1010 | Sigenergy | Grid power outage / grid power failure lock | The inverter has detected that the grid has gone away — either an actual blackout or the AC isolator/main switch being turned off (ID1). A persistent or repeated loss can put the system into a grid-failure lock state (ID2). With backup configured, the system transfers to battery/backup; otherwise it stops exporting and waits. |
| 1011 | Sigenergy | Grid overvoltage (Level I / II / III) | The grid voltage at your connection point has risen above the allowed protection threshold, so the inverter disconnects to protect itself and comply with grid rules. Level I is mildest, Level III most severe. This is one of the most common alarms in Australia, especially around midday in areas with lots of rooftop solar pushing voltage up. |
| 1012 | Sigenergy | Grid undervoltage (Level I / II / III) | The grid voltage has dropped below the protection threshold, so the inverter disconnects until it recovers. It usually reflects a weak or sagging grid supply rather than an inverter fault, and is more common on long rural feeders or during high-demand periods. |
| 1013 | Sigenergy | Grid overfrequency (Level I / II / III) | The grid frequency has risen above the allowed threshold and the inverter has disconnected per grid protection rules. This is a grid-side condition, not an internal fault, and usually clears within seconds. |
| 1014 | Sigenergy | Grid underfrequency (Level I / II / III) | The grid frequency has fallen below the allowed threshold and the inverter has disconnected to comply with grid protection requirements. Like overfrequency, it is a grid-side event that normally clears within seconds. |
| 1017 | Sigenergy | Leak current out of limit | The inverter has measured residual/leakage current above its safety threshold. It is often transient — caused by damp conditions or a momentary disturbance — and the system typically recovers once the environment settles. |
| 1018 | Sigenergy | Communication fault (4G / CAN / meter / gateway) | A communication link inside the system has dropped — for example the 4G/monitoring module (ID1), the battery CAN bus (ID2), the energy meter (ID3), or the gateway (ID4). The sub-ID identifies which link. Monitoring or energy-management features may stop working while it is active even if power flow continues. |
| 1022 | Sigenergy | EPO / emergency stop activated | The emergency power-off (EPO) input has been triggered — typically because someone pressed the emergency-stop button (or, on some installs, a shutdown command in the mySigen app). The system stays shut down for safety until the EPO is released. |
| 1023 | Sigenergy | Neutral disconnected / abnormal AC wiring | The inverter has detected a problem with the AC wiring — most commonly a neutral conductor that is disconnected or has worked loose inside the inverter (ID1), or otherwise abnormal AC wiring (ID2). A poor neutral connection can be a safety hazard. |
| 101 · 102 · 103 · 105 | SMA | Grid voltage / impedance too high | The grid voltage or grid impedance at the inverter's connection point is too high, so it disconnects. |
| 202 · 203 · 205 | SMA | Grid disconnected / voltage too low | The grid has been disconnected, the AC cable is damaged, or the grid voltage is too low. |
| 301 | SMA | 10-minute average voltage out of range | The ten-minute average grid voltage is outside the permissible range. |
| 302 | SMA | Power reduced — high AC voltage | The inverter has reduced its output because the grid voltage is high (Volt-Watt response, to support grid stability). |
| 401 · 404 | SMA | Islanding / frequency change | A stand-alone (islanded) grid or a very large change in grid frequency was detected. |
| 501 | SMA | Grid frequency out of range | The power frequency is outside the permissible range. |
| 601 | SMA | Excess DC in grid current | The inverter detected an excessively high proportion of direct current in the grid current. |
| 901 | SMA | Grounding (PE) connection missing | The protective-earth (grounding) conductor is not correctly connected. |
| 1001 | SMA | Line and neutral swapped | The L (active) and N (neutral) connections are swapped. |
| 1302 | SMA | Waiting for grid voltage | L or N is not connected (or an AC conductor is damaged) — often simply a mains outage. |
| 1501 | SMA | Reconnection fault (country dataset) | A changed country dataset or parameter value doesn't match local requirements. |
| 3301 · 3302 · 3303 | SMA | Unstable operation (low DC) | There isn't enough power at the DC input for stable operation. |
| 3401 · 3402 · 3407 | SMA | DC over-voltage | Over-voltage at the DC input — this can destroy the inverter. |
| 3501 | SMA | Insulation failure (ground fault) | A ground fault / low insulation resistance detected on the DC (PV) side — safety-critical, and common in wet weather. |
| 3701 | SMA | Residual current too high | The inverter detected an excessive residual (earth-leakage) current — an electric-shock hazard. |
| 3801 · 3802 · 3805 | SMA | DC over-current | Over-current at the DC input; the inverter briefly interrupts feed-in. |
| 3901 · 3902 | SMA | Waiting for DC start conditions | The conditions for feeding into the grid aren't yet met — typically insufficient irradiation. |
| 6501 · 6502 · 6509 | SMA | Over-temperature | The inverter has switched off (or derated) due to excessive temperature. |
| 6512 | SMA | Minimum operating temperature not reached | It's too cold — the inverter only resumes feed-in once the temperature reaches at least −25 °C. |

| 8003 | SMA | Power reduced — temperature | The inverter has reduced output for more than ten minutes because of excessive temperature. |

| 9007 | SMA | Self-test aborted | The inverter's self-test was terminated. |
| AC5M Volt Fault / AC10M Volt Fault | SolaX | Sustained grid voltage out of range (5 / 10 minute average) | The grid voltage averaged over a 5-minute (AC5M) or 10-minute (AC10M) window has exceeded the allowable limit — a longer-term over/under-voltage protection separate from the instantaneous trip. |
| Bus Volt Fault | SolaX | Internal DC bus voltage out of range | The internal DC bus voltage inside the inverter is outside its normal operating range. Can be a transient event tied to PV input fluctuations, or an internal hardware issue. |
| C1 Bat OVP | SolaX | Battery over-voltage | The battery voltage has risen above the charger's safe limit, so charging stopped to protect the battery and inverter. |
| C1 Bus OVP / C1 Boost OVP | SolaX | Charger bus / boost over-voltage | An internal voltage rail in the battery charger (DC bus or boost stage) has exceeded its limit and the charger has stopped to protect itself. |
| C1 Charger OCP / C1 Boost OCP | SolaX | Charger / boost overcurrent | An overcurrent was detected in the battery charger or its boost stage, tripping protection. |
| C1 Temp High / C1 Temp Low | SolaX | Battery charger over / under temperature | The internal battery charger module is too hot (blocked airflow, high charge current, hot environment) or too cold to operate safely. |
| CAN1 Fault / C1 CAN Fault | SolaX | Battery / charger CAN communication fault | The inverter has lost CAN-bus communication with the battery (BMS) or internal charger module. On a hybrid system this typically means the battery has dropped offline — common causes include a loose CAN cable, the wrong battery type selected in inverter settings, or a missing 120-ohm termination resistor. |
| CT / Meter Fault | SolaX | CT clamp or smart meter not detected | The inverter cannot communicate properly with the current transformer (CT) clamp or smart meter used to measure import/export (SolaX: 'the CT or the meter is not connected well'). This affects export limiting and energy monitoring rather than basic generation. |
| DCI / DCI OCP / RC Fault | SolaX | DC injection (DCI) fault | The inverter detected excessive DC current being injected into the AC grid (or a fault in the DCI sensing). Limiting DC injection is a grid-compliance safety requirement. |
| DM9000 Fault | SolaX | Network DSP fault | The internal networking/DSP component (DM9000) has faulted, typically affecting communication/monitoring functions. |
| EPS OCP Fault | SolaX | Overcurrent in EPS (backup) mode | An overcurrent was detected on the backup (EPS) output — for example from a large inrush/surge or a non-linear load when running off battery during an outage. |
| Fan Fault / Fan Speed Fault | SolaX | Cooling fan fault or abnormal fan speed | A cooling fan (Fan1/Fan2) is not running or is running outside its normal speed range. Often caused by dust, debris or insects blocking the fan, or a worn fan. |
| Grid Freq Fault | SolaX | Grid frequency out of range | The grid frequency has drifted outside the permitted band (nominal 50 Hz in Australia), so the inverter has disconnected for safety. This is almost always a network/supply condition rather than an inverter fault. (Some SolaX manuals print the description for this fault as 'Grid Voltage out of range' — a documentation typo; the fault itself is frequency-related.) |
| Grid Lost Fault | SolaX | Grid connection lost | The inverter can no longer detect a stable grid supply, so it has safely shut down. This is anti-islanding protection required under AS/NZS 4777.2 — it stops your system back-feeding the network during a blackout, which could be lethal to line workers. Most often caused by a genuine grid outage, a tripped solar supply breaker, or an AC isolator switched off. |
| Grid Volt Fault | SolaX | Grid voltage out of range | The mains voltage at your property is outside the allowable window the inverter is permitted to operate within. In Australia a common cause is high voltage (over ~253 V) on sunny afternoons when many local solar systems export at once, forcing inverters to trip. This is correct, code-mandated behaviour, not a defect. |
| Inv EEPROM / Mgr EEPROM / C1 EEPROM Fault | SolaX | Internal memory (EEPROM) fault | An internal memory chip (inverter, manager or charger EEPROM) has reported a read/write error. Can occasionally be transient but often indicates a hardware fault. |
| Inv OCP Fault | SolaX | Inverter overcurrent protection | The inverter detected an output overcurrent and tripped to protect itself. |
| Isolation Fault | SolaX | DC insulation resistance too low | The inverter has measured low insulation resistance between the DC (PV/battery) circuit and earth. This is a safety-critical fault that usually points to moisture ingress, a damaged cable, or a degraded connector/panel — there may be a current leakage path to ground. |
| Over Temperature Fault | SolaX | Inverter over temperature (Temp Over Fault) | The inverter has exceeded its safe internal operating temperature and has derated or shut down to protect itself. Common in hot weather, poor ventilation, or full-sun wall mounting. |
| Overload Fault | SolaX | EPS / backup output overloaded | While running on battery backup (EPS mode during a grid outage), the connected load drew more power than the inverter can supply, so it shut the backup output down to protect itself. |
| PLL Lost Fault | SolaX | Grid synchronisation lost | The inverter could not lock onto (synchronise with) the grid's voltage/frequency waveform — SolaX describes this internally as 'the grid is not good'. Usually a symptom of an unstable or poor-quality grid supply rather than a hardware fault. |
| PV Config Fault | SolaX | PV input configuration error | The PV connection/configuration setting (SolaX: 'PV Connection Setting Fault') does not match how the strings are actually wired — for example parallel vs independent MPPT input settings. |
| PV Volt Fault | SolaX | PV input voltage out of range | The DC voltage coming from the solar array is outside the inverter's allowable input window. This can be caused by string-design issues (for example too many panels in a string, which pushes voltage high in cold conditions) or an abnormal string condition. |
| RCD Fault | SolaX | Residual current (earth leakage) fault | The inverter's internal residual-current monitoring detected leakage current to earth above the safe threshold. Like an isolation fault, this is a safety protection that can indicate a wiring or insulation problem. |
| Relay Fault | SolaX | Grid relay fault | A self-test of the internal grid-connection relay has failed. The relay is a safety device that disconnects the inverter from the grid, so the unit will not operate until it passes. On X3 (three-phase) hybrids it can also be triggered by a poorly connected neutral or three-phase imbalance. |
| RTC Fault | SolaX | Real-time clock fault | The inverter's internal real-time clock (date/time) has faulted. Mainly affects time-stamping, scheduling and time-of-use battery functions rather than basic generation. |
| Sample Fault | SolaX | Detection/sampling circuit fault | An internal measurement (sampling) circuit has returned readings outside expected bounds (SolaX: 'the detection circuit fault'), so the inverter cannot trust its own sensing and has stopped. |
| SPI / SCI Fault | SolaX | Internal communication fault (master/slave DSP) | An internal communication link between the inverter's processors (SPI between master/slave DSP, or SCI) has dropped. Often a transient glitch that recovers by itself, typically within a few minutes. |
| SW OCP Fault | SolaX | Software-detected overcurrent | The control software detected an overcurrent condition and shut down as a protective measure. |
| TZ Protect Fault | SolaX | Hardware overcurrent protection tripped | A fast hardware overcurrent protection (Tripzone) has activated. Sometimes a transient event, sometimes an internal fault. |

| Arc Fault Lockout | Tesla | Arc fault detected — system locked out (PV) | Powerwall 3 (which has a built-in solar inverter) detected arc faults on the DC solar wiring. Tesla states that five arc-fault alerts within 24 hours triggers an arc-fault lockout. Arc faults are usually caused by damaged insulation, loose or poorly seated DC connectors, or frayed wiring — a genuine fire-safety concern. |
| Breaker Open | Tesla | Powerwall breaker is open / off | The AC circuit breaker that connects your Powerwall to your home is in the open (off) position, so the Powerwall is disconnected and can't charge or store energy. Left like this, the battery can slowly drain its reserve and may eventually need a service visit. |
| Going Off-Grid / Grid Outage | Tesla | Grid is down — running on backup | Status notification (not a fault): the grid has gone down (or you initiated Go Off-Grid) and your home is now running on Powerwall backup. Tesla sends this so you can manage your energy use during the outage. Note that if your internet is also down during an outage, this notification may not arrive. |
| Internal Fault — Replacement Required | Tesla | Powerwall disabled by an internal fault | Powerwall has been disabled because of an internal hardware fault, and you may see a flashing red logo LED on the unit with an app alert such as 'Powerwall Disabled' or 'Internal Fault Detected'. Powerwall and its components are not user-serviceable — a persistent internal fault means the unit needs professional support or replacement. |
| Powerwall Energy Very Low | Tesla | Powerwall energy very low — limited backup remaining | The battery is nearly empty during an outage and may fully discharge if usage isn't cut back. Tesla's wording is along the lines of 'Powerwall energy is very low, and you will have limited backup time remaining.' Once it gets too low it stops providing power to protect the cells. |
| Powerwall Inactive | Tesla | Powerwall has stopped powering the home (inactive) | Powerwall has entered an inactive state — commonly after running very low on energy during an outage or after repeated overloads — and is no longer supplying your home. Tesla notes that when low, if the remaining energy decreases by more than about 2.5% it becomes inactive and waits for the next hour to try charging again. |
| Powerwall Low on Energy | Tesla | Powerwall is low on energy | Battery charge is getting low (typically during a grid outage). Backup time is limited and will run out sooner if your usage stays high. |
| Powerwall Overloaded | Tesla | Powerwall is overloaded — reduce load | During a grid outage your home is drawing more power than the Powerwall can supply at once (for example several high-draw appliances running together), so Powerwall has stopped supplying power to protect itself. |
| Powerwall Stopped (Discharged) | Tesla | Powerwall too low and stopped powering the home | The battery dropped to its minimum and has stopped supplying power to protect the cells. Tesla documents that if an outage occurs while stored energy is below about 5% you immediately lose backup and Powerwall saves the remaining energy to recharge from solar the next morning; separately, once a Powerwall drops below roughly 10% during an outage it enters standby and stops providing power. Either way this is normal protective behaviour, not a fault. |
| Rapid Shutdown (RSD) Initiated | Tesla | Rapid shutdown triggered — Powerwall won't power home | The rapid-shutdown safety circuit has been triggered, so Powerwall will not power your home. Tesla's alert typically reads 'Rapid Shutdown Initiated. Check AC breaker and low-voltage rapid shutdown circuit.' This is a safety function tied to the AC breaker and the low-voltage RSD wiring, not a simple consumer button you reset. |
| Storm Watch Activated | Tesla | Storm Watch is active — charging to full | Status notification (not a fault): Tesla's Storm Watch detected a severe-weather forecast in your area (via national weather services) that could cause an outage, so Powerwall is charging to maximum capacity to give you the most backup protection. It stays in Storm Watch until the weather event passes. |
