Hi Harshad, I recommend that you get in touch with SolaX directly in regards to your issue.
I have 4KW solar power plant with Solax inverter installed at my home in INDIA since last 6 months. It worked fine till October. Since the winter season started (in November), the inverter started showing “Temperature over fault” in the morning till 10:30 morning, sometimes. till 11:00 morning daily. Now, when March started, the inverter shows the same error message “Temperature over fault” from early morning 6:45 to 9:30 morning. Once the inverter starts generating power, the “Temperature Over Fault” never comes till the next day morning. What is the problem and the solution?
Hi Troy, I’d recommend getting in touch with SolaX in regards to this issue.
Hi Martin, sorry we are in Australia, I’d recommend talking to an Argentinian solar expert for your country-specific help.
Hi. Install an INVERTER X3 HIBRID without meter energy, and when starting it generates the error PLL_TIMEOVER FAULT. I can’t find a SAFETY configuration that says ARGENTINA (220v and 50hz). Could you tell me in which safety I should leave it and if the error is due to this. Thank you
