Here at Gold Coast Solar Power Solutions we are constantly being contacted by people who have had a solar power system installed by other companies with a Sunny Roo solar inverter installed. They have recently checked the Sunny Roo inverter to only find it is displaying an error code or fault code. We are often asked what these fault codes mean so here is a list to explain the different Sunny Roo inverter error codes.

| Er06 | EPO | Inverter enters into EPO mode (Emerge Power Off) | 1. Remove the short circuit occurred at the EPO terminal 2. If error code keeps recurring, contact your local distributor. |
| Er09 | Inverter output over-current | Over-current on the AC side. This fault code is displayed if the current in the AC network is larger than specified. | 1. Turn off AC breaker, then check the peripheral AC system configuration and the grid connections. 2. If error code keeps recurring, contact your local distributor. |
| Er11 | Inverter over-load | Overload on the AC side. This fault code is displayed if the load on the AC network is larger than specified. | |
| Er13 | INVERTER short circuit | Short circuit on the AC side | |
| Er14 | INVERTER PLL fail | The phase of inverter can’t synchronise with the utility. | |
| Er29 | INVERTER output DC current over spec. | The DC component of the electricity fed into the grid is longer than permissible range. | |
| Er10 | Inverter over temperature | The internal temperature is too high. | 1. Try to reduce the ambient temperature. 2. Move the inverter to a cooler place. 3. If error code keeps recurring, contact your local distributor. |
| Er18 | Heat sink over temperature | The heat sink temperature is too high. |

Sunny Roo Solar Inverter fault alarm codes and descriptions
| LCD Indicate | Designation | Description | Repair |
| AL00 | Utility voltage over-voltage | Utility voltage greater or smaller than the permissible value | 1. Wait for 1 minute, if the grid returns to normal, the Sunny Roo inverter automatically restarts. 2. Check grid connection, such as wires and connectors 3. Make sure grid voltage and frequency meet the proper specifications. 4. If error code keeps recurring, contact your local distributor for help. |
| AL01 | Utility voltage under-voltage | ||
| AL02 | Utility voltage over-frequency | Utility frequency greater or smaller than the permissible value. | |
| AL03 | Utility voltage under-frequency | ||
| AL04 | BOOSTER_A Input over-voltage | Over or under voltage at DC input | 1. Disconnect ALL PV (+) or PV (-). 2. Check the open PV voltage is outside the 120Vdc ~ 500Vdc 3. If PV voltage is normal and the problem still occurs, contact your local distributor for help. |
| AL05 | BOOSTER_A Input under-voltage | ||
| AL06 | BOOSTER_B Input over-voltage | ||
| AL07 | BOOSTER_B Input under-voltage | ||
| AL08 | Anti-Islanding | No utility or utility fail | 1. Disconnect ALL PV (+) or PV (-). 2. Check grid connection, such as wires and connectors. 3. Check grid usability. 4. If utility is normal and the error code keeps recurring, contact your local distributor for help. |
| AL09 | Inverter voltage unbalance | Inverter voltage waveform is unbalanced | 1. Shutdown inverter (unplug PV generator from the input). 2. Check grid usability and restart the inverter (plug PV generator back into input). 3. If error code keeps recurring, contact your local distributor for help. |
| AL10 | GFDI | Leakage current on ground conductor is too high. | 1. Unplug PV generator from the input, check AC peripheral system. 2. After the problem is cleared, re-plug the PV. Check the PV-inverter status. 3. If error code keeps recurring, contact your local distributor for help. |
| AL11 | Isolation Fault | The impedence is between PV (+) & PV (-) and ground is lower than 2M Ohm. | 1. Disconnect ALL PV (+) or PV (-). 2. Check the impedence between PV (+) & PV (-) and ground. The impedence must be larger than 2M Ohm. 3. If error code keeps recurring, contact your local distributor for help. |
| AL13 | Phase or utility fail | No utility or utility fail | 1. Disconnect ALL PV (+) or PV (-). 2. Check grid connection, such as wires and connectors. 3. Check grid usability. 4. If utility is normal and the error code keeps recurring, contact your local distributor for help. |
| AL14 | Waveform of utility fail More info on AL14 |

Sorry to hear of your issue Andrzej, unfortunately we can’t assist you any further with that inverter, it sounds like it will need to be replaced.
Hallo. I have two ES4200 and ES5000 inverters.(similar to Sunny Roo) I have a problem with one of them. After it is turned on, it starts normally and starts sending power to the AC grid. After a few minutes, the display shows the error Er29. The DC current certainly has not exceeded the rated one and the shutdown takes place at DC currents of 1-3A. After displaying the error Er29, after a while the inverter starts to work properly again and displays the error Er29 again. And so cyclically …
Both main PCBs are certainly undamaged. I swapped PCBs with the TI processor in the PCB inverters and it proved that the error is on the PCB with this TI processor. Also all gate lines from IC Tl074C are fine. I also swapped Ic EPROM on these PCBs. The error is therefore in the content of the sowftware.
I don’t know if I have described the problem in an understandable way.
I’m in Poland. And it’s difficult to send an inverter to you. The name I have a long practice in the service of electronic devices.
Can you help me in such a situation?
Regards,
Andrzej

Thanks for your enquiry, the Sunny Roo solar inverters are a grid connect inverter so therefore is not a charge controller as it does not get hooked up to batteries but rather straight to the grid.
hi ‘
just question is sunny roo 2 in one ?
i mean is it charger controller and inverter at same time?
