As one of the largest solar inverter manufacturers internationally, it’s understandable Sungrow alarm code possibilities are extensive. With this in mind, we’ve done our best to simplify the suite of possible Sungrow alarm codes and ensure you get your answers in the fastest way possible. Even though it’s possible to identify your particular Sungrow error codes in as little as 3 steps (see below), the amount of possible alarm codes become determined by your Sungrow inverter model.
For example, Sungrow single-phase hybrid inverters have extended alarm codes from the non-hybrid single and three-phase inverters due to the Battery side operations. These codes are beneficial for pinpointing the fault’s location and cause when a system includes battery storage. In contrast, three-phase hybrid inverters such as the SH5.0RT have their own set of alarm codes altogether. So, it is understandable to be confused when searching for the meaning behind a specific Sungrow alarm code when staring at a document. Therefore, we’ve divided up the sections of alarm codes corresponding to the appropriate Sungrow inverter for your convenience.
Find your Sungrow alarm code with ease, follow this process;
1. Record the model make and the number (or numbers) displayed on the inverter.
2. Jump to the relevant Sungrow alarm code selection using one of the buttons in the suitable table below.
3. (example) if your Sungrow inverter is an “SG5K-D” model with an error code 002 displayed, tap the 0xx button in the relevant table below (section 1.), locate 002 and select the Alarm Code – #002 tab.

Sungrow has earned a reputation for developing reliable inverter technology. Due to the evolution of today’s solar inverters and enhancements of their safety features, more often than not, an alarm code occurrence could be due to an external factor. These safety features are in place to protect the equipment within the system and the user from any critical harm.
The inverter must disconnect when external factors such as the grid operating outside its normal parameters to prevent equipment failure. In cases such as grid abnormality, the Sungrow inverter will reconnect once the grid returns to normal. If this alarm occurs frequently, it is best to contact your solar installer for a solution.
