JFY JSI Solar Inverter is a Chinese-manufactured brand so it can be expected that it is way cheaper compared to European inverters on the market. Several factors may affect an inverter’s performance which may result in failures.
We have put together a list of fault displays and possible action from JFY JSI Solar Inverter’s user manual for your convenience.
If any problems arise, the “Alarm” LED on the front panel will be red and the LCD displays the relevant information. Please note that safety measures should be observed to avoid any risk of injury or you may also seek assistance from a qualified electrician.

No any display in LCD or LED | Check PV-input connections |
W01 No grid | Check grid connection cables. |
W02 Vin overvoltage | Check the Voc of PV string, see if it is greater than or too close to max. input DC voltage of relative inverter type. |
E01 Isolation error | Check the impedance is between PV (+) & PV (-) and the PV-Inverter is earthed. The impedance must be greater than 2MΩ |
E02 Leak error | The leakage current is too high.Unplug the inputs from the PV string and check the peripheral AC system. |
E03 Grid fault | Make sure grid voltage and frequency meet the specifications. |
Please note that during periods of little or no sunlight, the JFY JSI Solar Inverter may continuously start up and shut down. This is due to the insufficient power generated to operate the control circuits but this is not a trouble.
Here are some more fault messages that you may see on the JFY JSI front panel display.
FAULT | DISPLAY | COMMENTS |
System fault | Auto Test Failed | Auto Test does not pass |
W01 No grid | No Utility, No Grid Connect | |
W02 Vin overvoltage | PV panel Voltage is too high | |
E01 Isolation error | Insulation Problem of PV panel | |
E02 Ileak error | GFCI Fault, leakage current is too high | |
E03 Grid fault | Grid voltage/frequency is out of range | |
Inverter fault | E04 Coherence error | Consistent Fault |
E05 Over temperature | Internal temperature abnormal | |
E06 Relay failure | Output relay Fault | |
E07 DCinj failure | Output Current DC Offset too high | |
E08 EEPROM failure | EEPROM Fault | |
E09 Com. failure | Communication Fault | |
E10 DC bus OV. | DC Bus over-voltage | |
E11 DC bus UV. | DC Bus under-voltage | |
E12 Vref error | 2.5V Reference Voltage Fault | |
E13 DC sensor fault | DC current sensor fault | |
E14 GFCI failure | GFCI Device is damaged |

If following the steps above does not fix the issue and your JFY JSI Solar Inverter is still within the warranty period you can contact the equipment installer or supplier. If your inverter is outside the warranty period we suggest that you contact a professional solar power expert. If you’re on the Gold Coast or Brisbane area contact Gold Coast Power Solutions here and we will be in touch to provide you with further assistance.

Hi, In January 2017 you responded to a fault report re my solar inverter which resulted in the need for you to replace the inverter under warranty. Today my inverter is showing a “Eo6 -relay fault” message which I have not been able to clear by isolating the system from the grid following your isolation procedures. Is this an inherent fault or permanent or grid activity action?
Hi Guys,
We have a DC Out Range message on our Suntree 10000L inverter screen.
We have contacted the company for warranty, but what does that actually mean?
Thanks heaps
John
Hi John, usually a DC Out Range message on a JFY JSI inverter means that the DC input to the inverter is outside the inverters specifications, so sounds like you will need the help of a local solar power expert. If you are near the Gold Coast we can certainly help. Thanks
Hi Robert sorry to hear of your JFY JSI inverter issue, unfortunately the E06 relay fault will require your inverter to be replaced.
Hi, my inverter has thrown a code ‘Dcinj’ can you explain what might cause this? Thanks
Hi Jordon, sorry to hear of the issue you are having with your JFY JSI inverter. The DC INJ message means that the inverter has detected too much DC being injected into the AC side of the system and so it’s throwing this fault message. Unfortunatley this is an internal fault and if it continues to occur it will need to be replaced.
Hi there, my system has been throwing this fault for months DC INJ I have not been able to get a return email from JFY it was only installed in May 2014 and I still have the contract but they will not return my emails. I am not sure what to do?
You are best to get a local solar expert to look at your installation. They should be able to help you with any warranty claim also.
I have put all the required parameters in regard to the motor, the sun is ok and it starts to run with 49hz, 12.5A, its a 2.2kw motor but the water is not coming out what could be the possible problem please. Urgently waiting please
Have you made sure that the motor is running in the correct direction?
Hi guys inverter isn’t showing anything on lcd and appears has stopped.
Have done all the setting and proper connection.However the screen reads ..Alarm 129..Sun Lower.Input D C reads 190w.
Hi there, I have a jsi-5000tl and it is showing a relay failure message. can it be fixed ? It is about 8 years old
Hi Craig unfortunately the JFY JSI inverters are not worth fixing. We would recommend putting any money that you would think of spending on repairing the inverter into a good quality replacement unit with a full manufacturer’s warranty. To find out what we would recommend please check out our recommended solar inverter page here.
Hi Frank thanks for your enquiry. First thing we would check is that the DC voltage from the solar panels is well inside the JFY JSI inverters voltage range. The voltage window of the inverter should be found on the data plate on the side of the inverter. If the issue continues after this has bee confirmed to be correct it is probably an internal issue with the inverter. Thanks.
Hi Anthony check all the isolators are on and that all the plugs are connected into the inverter correctly, if the problem persists you will need to get in touch with a local solar accredited electrician to assist you further.
Hi our inverter is saying there is a relay fault how is this fixed
Hi Ben, if you have a relay fault with a JFY solar inverter I’d recommend replacing it. The JFY JSI solar inverters are not the best quality, you could pay to get it fixed however another fault may develop not long after and you’d be up for more money. You are much better off to spend a bit more money and get a quality new inverter installed that is backed by the manufacturer’s warranty.
