Understanding Diagnostic Codes

SolaX Power inverter systems incorporate sophisticated diagnostic capabilities that automatically detect operational issues. When a problem is identified, the system communicates through error codes displayed on the inverter LCD screen, LED status indicators, and status messages in the SolaX monitoring portal. Error codes typically follow the format "IE" (Internal Error) followed by a number. This intelligent diagnostic framework enables rapid problem identification and helps determine the appropriate response. All SolaX inverter series (X1, X3, hybrid) utilize continuous performance monitoring with real-time error detection. Error codes may vary slightly depending on firmware version and model. Always reference your specific model's installation manual for precise code definitions and consult with a certified SolaX installer for professional diagnosis and repair.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does error code IE 41 (ArcFault) mean?

IE 41 indicates an arc fault has been detected in the system. This is a critical safety condition. Immediately shut down the system and do not attempt to restart. Check cable connections between PV modules and inverter, inspect all DC connections for looseness, and check DC wiring for damage. Contact SolaX support if the error persists. This requires professional inspection before restart.

What should I do if I see error code IE 40 (BypassRelayFault)?

IE 40 indicates a bypass relay fault. Press the ESC button to restart the inverter. If the error persists, contact SolaX support. This may require professional diagnosis and potentially relay replacement or repair.

What does error code IE 101 (PowerTypeFault) mean?

IE 101 indicates a power type detection error. Update the software/firmware and press the ESC button to restart the inverter. Verify power type settings in configuration. If the error persists, contact SolaX support. This may require a firmware update.

How do I check error codes on my SolaX inverter?

Error codes can be viewed on the inverter LCD screen, through LED status indicators on the inverter, or in the SolaX monitoring portal. Check the LCD display for error messages (typically in IE format), observe the LED status lights, and log into your SolaX monitoring account to view system status and error history.

What should I do if I see error code IE 103 (Mgr EEPROM Fault)?

IE 103 indicates a manager EEPROM error. Turn off the photovoltaic system, battery, and grid, then turn them back on to allow the system to reinitialize. If the error persists, contact SolaX support. This may require professional service or component replacement.

What does error code IE 106 (Bat Temp Low) mean?

IE 106 indicates the battery temperature is too low. Check the battery installation environment for proper heat dissipation, verify the battery heating function is activated on the inverter LCD screen, and check that the heating duration is set correctly. Improve the battery installation environment if necessary. If the error persists, contact SolaX support.

Can I reset error codes by pressing the ESC button?

Some error codes may be resolved by pressing the ESC button to restart the inverter, but many codes indicate serious conditions that require professional diagnosis. Safety-related codes (arc faults, relay faults) should never be reset without professional inspection. Always follow the recommended solutions for each specific error code and contact a certified installer if the error persists.
