How to fix DC Over Voltage on Huawei SUN2000-12KTL Inverter?
- R
  Robert FranklinSep 4, 2025
  If your Huawei Inverter SUN2000 is showing a DC Over Voltage alarm, it means the voltage from your PV modules is too high. To fix this, you need to reduce the number of PV modules connected in series for each PV string (1 and 2, 3 and 4, or 5 and 6) until the open-circuit voltage is at or below the inverter's maximum input voltage. Once you've adjusted the PV array configuration, the SUN2000 alarm should disappear.

What does System Fault mean on my Huawei SUN2000-12KTL?
- M
  Michael ThomasSep 1, 2025
  A System Fault on the Huawei Inverter indicates an unrecoverable fault has occurred on a circuit inside the inverter. Flip the DC SWITCH on the inverter to OFF, wait 5 minutes, and then flip the DC SWITCH to ON. Check if the fault is rectified.

What causes String 1-6 Abnormal error on Huawei Inverter?
- N
  Nicole HernandezAug 30, 2025
  The Huawei Inverter displays 'String 1-6 Abnormal' when PV strings have been shielded for a long time or have deteriorated. Check if the output current of a PV string is obviously less than the output current of other PV strings. Also, check whether the PV string is shielded.

Why is my Huawei Inverter showing Cabinet Over-Temp?
- J
  Jennifer FletcherAug 29, 2025
  If the Huawei Inverter displays 'Cabinet Over-Temp', it means the inverter is installed in a place with poor ventilation. Check if the ambient temperature exceeds the upper limit. If it does, improve ventilation to decrease the temperature.

What causes DC Bus Voltage Fault in Huawei SUN2000-12KTL?
- L
  Linda MeadowsAug 29, 2025
  A DC Bus Voltage Fault on your Huawei Inverter means abnormal external conditions have triggered DC circuit protection. This can happen if the inverter input is suddenly disconnected or shielded PV strings cause a sharp change in output power (Reason ID = 3), or if the input energy can't vent quickly due to a sharp change in grid voltage (Reason ID = 9 or 11). The inverter monitors external conditions and should automatically return to normal once the fault is rectified. If the alarm occurs repeatedly, contact Huawei technical support.

What to do if Huawei SUN2000-12KTL Inverter shows Invert Module Fault?
- N
  Nancy RileyAug 28, 2025
  The Huawei Inverter indicates an Invert Module Fault when abnormal external conditions trigger converter circuit protection inside the inverter. This could be due to a sharp drop in grid voltage or a short circuit, causing high output current (Reason ID = 4), or the inverter's output short-circuiting (Reason ID = 20). The inverter monitors external conditions and should return to normal once the issue is resolved. Check for any short circuits in the inverter's output cables and fix them.

Why is my Huawei SUN2000-12KTL Inverter showing a Grid Voltage Abnormal error?
- S
  Shawn TranAug 27, 2025
  The grid voltage may be beyond the allowed range. This can happen if the grid A, B, or C phase voltage is less than the allowed range (Reason ID = 1 to 6), or if there's a power outage, a disconnected AC line, or a tripped AC circuit breaker (Reason ID = 29). If it's an accidental grid issue, the Huawei Inverter should automatically return to normal once the problem is resolved. Check if the AC voltage is normal.

What does String 1-6 Reverse mean on Huawei SUN2000-12KTL Inverter?
- M
  Michelle HenryAug 26, 2025
  The Huawei Inverter shows 'String 1-6 Reverse' when the cables between PV strings were connected in reverse during installation. Check if the cables between PV strings are correctly connected and reconnect them if necessary.
