About this fault librarySources · scope

This guide separates current MOD 3–10KTL3-XH evidence from legacy 1000–5000 TL / 2500–5000 MTL vocabulary. Reviewed remedies are attached only to the numbered MOD XH entries recovered in Growatt's official current manual, including warning 205, which the manual identifies as PV boost driver abnormal. Legacy codes and legacy named aliases remain remedy-blank because their service bulletin is available only through a secondary mirror. Australian and global Growatt pages both list the MOD family, but the installed Australian variant and firmware range are not established by the manual metadata. Safety note: owners should record the code and contact their installer. Isolation, measurements, wiring, parameter changes and internal repairs are licensed-worker tasks.

Key takeaways
  • 21 Growatt fault and alarm codes, documented for the trade.
  • Compiled from published documentation and field references; Wattbench is independent and not affiliated with Growatt.
  • Codes involving DC/AC isolation, wiring or opening the unit are licensed electrical work. Isolate safely and follow AS/NZS procedure.

Resolution text is manufacturer/service context, not permission for an owner to perform electrical work. Stop at visible observations unless the exact product instructions identify an owner control. Isolation, configuration, testing, opening equipment and wiring are for an appropriately licensed worker and, where required, an SAA-accredited person. Where a card says Product fit is unknown, treat it as brand-level guidance and confirm the exact model, role, regional variant, firmware and current manual before acting.

Frequently asked

Where do these Growatt fault codes come from?
Compiled from publicly available Growatt inverter and battery documentation and field references, then rewritten for the trade. Wattbench is independent and not affiliated with Growatt.
Which of these can I clear on site?
Some clear on their own once grid or environmental conditions return to normal. Anything involving DC isolation, AC switching, wiring or opening the unit is licensed electrical work. Isolate safely, follow AS/NZS 5033 and AS/NZS 3000 procedure and use appropriate PPE before touching a live system.
The exact code isn't listed. Why not?
Firmware and model variants differ, and manufacturers revise their code tables. We document the most common ones; for a variant that isn't here, check the unit's current manual or the manufacturer's service portal.
How current is this reference?
This reference was last reviewed on 3 August 2026. We revise entries when the underlying manufacturer documentation changes.
