What to do if my SMA 10000TL Inverter shows VpvMax or Vpv-Max error?
- T
  tsnyderSep 6, 2025
  If your SMA Inverter displays 'VpvMax' or 'Vpv-Max', it indicates an overvoltage at the DC input that may damage the inverter. Immediately disconnect the inverter from the grid by: 1. Turning off the line circuit breaker. 2. Removing the Electronic Solar Switch. 3. Disconnecting all the DC plug connectors. Next, check the DC voltage. If it exceeds the maximum input voltage, check the plant design or contact the PV generator installer. If the DC voltage is under the maximum input voltage, reconnect the inverter to the PV generator. If the message occurs again, disconnect the inverter and contact the SMA Serviceline.

How to fix SMA 10000TL Inverter showing 'Check L-N-PE'?
- D
  Dustin JonesAug 25, 2025
  If your SMA Inverter displays 'Check L-N-PE', it means L and N are swapped on the AC connection or PE is not connected. Make sure that the AC cable is correctly connected.

Why is my SMA 10000TL derating?
- J
  Jay RossAug 26, 2025
  The SMA Inverter might be derating (reducing its power output) due to overheating. In this case, clean the fans. Alternatively, derating can occur if the DC input current exceeds the inverter's maximum input current; ensure that the PV plant is designed correctly.

What does ACVtgRPro mean on my SMA 10000TL?
- D
  Donna MooreAug 27, 2025
  If your SMA Inverter displays 'ACVtgRPro', the ten-minute average mains voltage is no longer within the permissible range. Check that the mains voltage at the termination point of the inverter is permanently in the permissible range. If the mains voltage is 253 V or higher, contact the network operator.

Why does my SMA 10000TL Inverter show ACVtgRPro error?
- L
  laurie71Sep 7, 2025
  The 'ACVtgRPro' error on your SMA Inverter means the 10-minute-average grid voltage is outside the permissible range, possibly due to high grid voltage or impedance at the connection point. Check the grid voltage at the inverter's connection point. If it's consistently 253 V or higher due to local grid conditions, contact the utility operator to adjust the voltage or request an alteration of the ACVtgRPro parameter's threshold. If the grid voltage is within the acceptable range and the error persists, contact the SMA Serviceline.

How to fix PV overvoltage on SMA 10000TL?
- E
  Elizabeth SmithSep 5, 2025
  If your SMA Inverter displays 'PV-Overvoltage' and instructs you to disconnect DC, it indicates an overvoltage at the DC input, which can damage the inverter. Immediately disconnect the inverter from the grid by: 1. Turning off the line circuit breaker. 2. Removing the Electronic Solar Switch. 3. Disconnecting all the DC plug connectors. Then, check the DC voltage. If it exceeds the maximum input voltage, inspect the plant design or contact the PV generator installer. If the voltage is within the limit, reconnect the inverter. If the message reappears, disconnect the inverter and contact the SMA Serviceline.

What causes damage to the SMA Inverter due to moisture and dust intrusion?
- M
  Monique FosterSep 2, 2025
  Damage to the SMA Inverter from moisture and dust intrusion can occur if the ESS is not plugged in or incorrectly plugged in during operation. Always plug in the ESS until it is flush with the enclosure and ensure that the gap between the ESS and the enclosure is no more than 1 mm.
