Message Explanation
Derating This message can have several causes:
• Overtemperature in the inverter. The inverter reduces its power to prevent
overheating.
• External active power limitation via the Power Reducer Box and
Sunny WebBox. The inverter reduces its power output automatically based
on network operator specifications. The Power Reducer Box transfers the
signal from the network operator to the inverter via the Sunny WebBox.
Error The inverter has detected a fault. The specific error message is also displayed
(see Section10.2.3 "Errors, Disturbances, Warnings", page47).
MPP The inverter is operating in MPP mode. MPP is the standard display message when
operating under normal irradiation conditions.
