Clenergy SPH Solar Inverter Isolation Fault

Do you have a Clenergy SPH Solar Inverter Isolation Fault?

A Clenergy SPH Solar Inverter Isolation Fault is a common issue that is seen in this brand of solar inverter.

With this issue, the red light is on which tells us that there’s a fault going on in the system. An isolation fault message on a Clenergy solar inverter means that there could be a problem on the solar panel side or an internal fault with the inverter. Based on experience the latter is usually the case.

Although the Clenergy solar inverter manual recommends having a solar accredited electrician check out your solar panels and see if the impedance on the cables to the solar panels is greater than 8MΩ, it will actually end up being a problem with the solar inverter and something has to be done about this ASAP.

What can you do about a Clenergy Solar Inverter Isolation Fault issue?

Try to reboot the system by following the proper shutdown procedure as shown below:

Turn off the SOLAR SUPPLY MAIN SWITCH or the Inverter AC Isolator (if applicable).
Turn off the PV Array DC Isolator located at the inverter.
Wait for approximately 1 minute.
Turn on the SOLAR SUPPLY MAIN SWITCH or AC Isolator (if installed).
Turn on the PV ARRAY DC Isolator.
Wait a few minutes for the inverter to restart.
Check to see if the error has cleared.

If the fault continues, check if your Clenergy SPH solar inverter is still within the 5-year warranty from the installation date so a warranty claim can be made on the inverter. To make a warranty claim you will need to provide proof of purchase in the form of a tax invoice or Certificate of Compliance from when it was originally installed along with the model and serial numbers found on the top of the inverter.
