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.

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 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 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 there, I have a jsi-5000tl and it is showing a relay failure message. can it be fixed ? It is about 8 years old
Have done all the setting and proper connection.However the screen reads ..Alarm 129..Sun Lower.Input D C reads 190w.
Hi guys inverter isn’t showing anything on lcd and appears has stopped.
