Fault

Cause of fault

Explanation/remedy

By

The inverter is 
active but does 
not feed into the 
grid. Display: 
“Waiting for 
feed-in”

• 

Array voltage 
too low

• 

Grid voltage 
or PV array 
voltage 
unstable.

• 

The PV array voltage or power is not suffi

  cient for feed-in 

(solar irradiance is too low).

• 

The inverter checks the line parameters before the feed-in 
process begins. The length of the switch-on time diff ers by 
country according to applicable standards and regulations 
and can take several minutes.

• 

The starting voltage may have been set incorrectly.

 

Adjust starting voltage in the Parameter menu if required.

E

Noise emission 

from the inverter.

Particular ambient 

conditions.

When there are certain ambient conditions, the units may emit 

audible noises. 

• 

Line interference or grid failure caused by particular loads 
(motors, machines, etc.) which are either connected to the 
same point on the grid or located in the vicinity of the 
inverter.

• 

In cases of volatile weather conditions (frequent switching 
between sunny and cloudy conditions) or strong irradiance, 
a light hum may be audible due to the increased power.

• 

Under particular grid conditions, resonances may form 
between the unit’s input fi lter and the grid, which may be 
audible even when the inverter is switched off .

These noise emissions do not aff ect the operation of the 

inverter. They do not lead to loss of effi

  ciency, failure, damage 

or to a shortening of the unit’s service life.

People with very sensitive hearing (particularly children) are 

able to hear the high-frequency hum caused by the inverter’s 
operating frequency of approximately 17 kHz.

 

No action.
