What to do if my Sofar solar 3K-6KTLM-G2 shows a GridOVP error?
- M
  Matthew SimsAug 17, 2025
  If the GridOVP alarm occurs occasionally on your Sofar solar Inverter, it might be due to temporary power grid issues. The inverter should automatically return to normal when the grid stabilizes. However, if the alarm appears frequently, verify that the grid voltage and frequency are within the acceptable range. If they aren't, contact technical support. If they are, inspect the AC circuit breaker and AC wiring of the inverter. If the problem persists despite correct voltage/frequency and wiring, contact technical support to adjust the over-voltage and frequency protection settings, but only after getting approval from your local electrical grid operator.

How to fix PVIsoFault on Sofar solar Inverter?
- J
  Joshua SteeleAug 19, 2025
  If your Sofar solar Inverter is showing a PVIsoFault, it means the insulation resistance is too low. You should check the insulation resistance between the PV array and the ground. If you find a short circuit, you'll need to fix it.

Why is my Sofar solar 3K-6KTLM-G2 Inverter showing an OverTempFault_?
- L
  Linda StevensAug 22, 2025
  If your Sofar solar Inverter shows an OverTempFault_, it means the inverter's temperature is too high. Make sure the installation location and method follow the guidelines in Section 3.4 of the user manual. Also, check if the ambient temperature around the inverter is too high. If it is, improve ventilation to lower the temperature.

What to do if my Sofar solar 3K-6KTLM-G2 displays a GFCIFault error?
- M
  michaelharrisAug 26, 2025
  If the GFCIFault occurs occasionally on your Sofar solar Inverter, it may be due to temporary external circuit issues. The inverter should return to normal once the problem is resolved. If the fault happens frequently and lasts a long time, check the insulation resistance between the PV array and earth (ground), and then inspect the insulation of the PV cable.

Why does my Sofar solar Inverter show a PVUVP error?
- C
  Courtney WilliamsAug 28, 2025
  If your Sofar solar Inverter is showing a PVUVP error, it means the input voltage is too low. Check if there are too few PV modules connected in series in a PV string. If the voltage (Vmp) of the PV string is lower than the minimum operating voltage of the inverter, you should increase the number of PV modules connected in series to raise the PV string voltage to match the inverter's input voltage range. The inverter should automatically return to normal after these adjustments.

What does HwBoostOCP mean on my Sofar solar 3K-6KTLM-G2 Inverter?
- E
  ellismichelleAug 30, 2025
  If your Sofar solar Inverter displays HwBoostOCP, it indicates that the input current is too high, triggering hardware protection. Verify that the input current doesn't exceed the inverter's maximum input current. Also, check the input wiring. If both are correct, contact technical support for assistance.

Why is my Sofar solar 3K-6KTLM-G2 Inverter showing a BusUVP error?
- P
  petersmeganSep 2, 2025
  If your Sofar solar Inverter displays a BusUVP error, it means the bus voltage is too low. Assuming the PV array configuration is correct, this could be due to low solar irradiance. The inverter should automatically return to normal operation once the solar irradiance increases to a normal level.

What does ID33 error mean on Sofar solar Inverter?
- A
  Angelica McculloughSep 4, 2025
  If your Sofar solar Inverter shows ID33, it means there was a reflux overload timeout. Check if the load power is out of the specified range, and if it is, adjust the power to the correct range.

What should I do if my Sofar solar Inverter shows a HwAcOCP error?
- L
  Lisa EllisonSep 8, 2025
  If your Sofar solar Inverter displays HwAcOCP, this indicates an internal fault. Turn off the DC switch, wait for 5 minutes, and then turn it back on. If the fault persists, contact technical support.
