About this fault librarySources · scope

Sigenergy's SigenStor combines PV, battery and energy-control functions, so its alarm list spans the full system. Codes appear in mySigen and SigenCloud as a four-digit alarm with a sub-ID that identifies the affected string, phase or communication link. This library includes only the 1000-series operational alarms verified in Sigenergy Alarm List v05. Safety note: owners should record the alarm and stop at safe visual observations or ordinary app support. DC/AC isolation, electrical measurements, settings, wiring and opening equipment are licensed-worker tasks completed under the exact product and site procedure.

Key takeaways
  • 13 Sigenergy (SigenStor) fault and alarm codes, documented for the trade.
  • Compiled from published documentation and field references; Wattbench is independent and not affiliated with Sigenergy (SigenStor).
  • 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.

    Low insulation resistance (ISO fault)

    The inverter has measured low insulation resistance on the PV (DC) side, meaning the system is detecting a possible leakage path to earth. Common triggers are moisture ingress in a connector or cable, a damaged DC cable, or a string partially shorting to the protective earth (PE). It often appears in the early morning when humidity is highest and may self-clear as things dry out.

    Inverter over-temperature

    The inverter has exceeded its safe internal operating temperature and has throttled or shut down to protect itself. Usual causes are high ambient temperature, the unit sitting in direct sun, or restricted airflow/poor ventilation around the tower.

  • 1006

    String input overvoltage (PV)

    The DC voltage from a PV string (the sub-ID identifies which string: e.g. ID1 = String 1) is above the inverter's maximum allowed input voltage. This almost always means too many panels were wired in series for that string, and the problem shows up worst on cold, bright mornings when panel voltage peaks.

    AFCI fault (DC arc detected)

    The arc-fault circuit interrupter has detected what looks like an electrical arc on a PV string (the sub-ID flags which string). This is a genuine fire-safety feature. Arcs are usually caused by a damaged DC cable, a loose or corroded connector, or a poor contact at a string terminal.

    Treat the arc alarm as urgent: record the string sub-ID, keep clear of the equipment and contact your installer. Do not clear the alarm, operate isolators or touch PV connectors or wiring.

    Installer remedy

    Disconnect the PV DC supply under the approved safe-isolation procedure, then inspect the identified string's cables, connectors and terminations for damage, looseness or burning. Rectify the cause before clearing the alarm in the app; submit support feedback if it remains.

    Grid power outage / grid power failure lock

    The inverter has detected that the grid has gone away, either an actual blackout or the AC isolator/main switch being turned off (ID1). A persistent or repeated loss can put the system into a grid-failure lock state (ID2). With backup configured, the system transfers to battery/backup; otherwise it stops exporting and waits.

    Check whether the property and neighbourhood have grid supply, then record the alarm and sub-ID. The system should reconnect automatically; contact your installer if normal supply is present but the alarm remains locked.

    Installer remedy

    Verify reliable grid supply, AC switch and circuit-breaker state, and whether off-grid operation is correctly enabled. Clear the ID2 lock in the app only after the site condition is confirmed safe; submit feedback if it remains.

  • 1011

    Grid overvoltage (Level I / II / III)

    The grid voltage at your connection point has risen above the allowed protection threshold, so the inverter disconnects to protect itself and comply with grid rules. Level I is mildest, Level III most severe. This is one of the most common alarms in Australia, especially around midday in areas with lots of rooftop solar pushing voltage up.

    Communication fault (4G / CAN / meter / gateway)

    A communication link inside the system has dropped: for example the 4G/monitoring module (ID1), the battery CAN bus (ID2), the energy meter (ID3), or the gateway (ID4). The sub-ID identifies which link. Monitoring or energy-management features may stop working while it is active even if power flow continues.

Frequently asked

Where do these Sigenergy fault codes come from?
Compiled from publicly available Sigenergy inverter and battery documentation and field references, then rewritten for the trade. Wattbench is independent and not affiliated with Sigenergy.
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 2 August 2026. We revise entries when the underlying manufacturer documentation changes.
