Fronius IG Inverter STATE 305 Issue? We Can Help.

As a Fronius service partner we’ve seen a number of Fronius IG series inverters with STATE 305 errors. Fronius describe this issue as “Feed-in process not possible, even though public mains parameter within the limits” and list the following as possible causes:

Loose connection on the mains cables
Loose ENS-jumper on the IG control board
Choke not connected
Error on mains relay (L1 or N)
Controller on the DC-DC board faulty

This is usually an internal fault which will need to be repaired by a Fronius service partner such as Gold Coast Solar Power Solutions but to ensure that it isn’t just a one off error the best thing to do is try to reboot the inverter.
