TimJohnson got a reaction from Carl Anthony in F20Tz_Dc_OverCurr_FaultOkay, it's 2025 and until a few days ago, I was still getting the F20 fault at least once a day.
Here, however, is the final outcome.
I contacted my original installer and told them that the fault had been going on for a long time (8 months).
They did some remote inverter setting changes, including an inverter firmware upgrade, but to no avail.
Eventually, they sent out a 12 year solar veteran installer. His mandate was to inspect the inverter, and if neccessary, take out the inverter for repairs or replacement.
He was outstanding and proceeded to check all of the DC connections inside and out side the inverter.
Eventually, he opened up the DC PV DB and lo and behold, one of my 2 solar arrays was not functional due to a wire from one of the solar arrays not being plugged in.
So for about a year, I have only had half of my solar capacity functional. That is is why I was getting an over current error.
He connected the wire and problem solved.
Now, I have my max solar power set to 6.5 kW (as per the Deye specifications for a 5 kW inverter). I was at some stage running the inverter at 3.5 kW. No settings are tweaked back.
The installer has waived any costs as the fault was caused by them.
Needless to say I am very happy.
