[contact-form-7]
At Gold Coast Power Solutions, an “Error 117” display message is one of the inverter issues experienced in Growatt Solar inverters.
With this issue, the red Fault light is on. If your Growatt inverter is coming up with “Error 117”, this means that the system is not operational. There’s a relay failure and it’s not pulling power as normal, so you should do something about it ASAP.
What can you do about a Growatt Solar Inverter Error 117 issue?
The first thing you can do is to do a proper shutdown procedure as shown below.
- Turn off the SOLAR SUPPLY MAIN SWITCH or Inverter AC Isolator (if installed).
- Turn off the PV Array DC Isolator located at the inverter.
- Wait for approximately 1 minute.
- Turn on the SOLAR SUPPLY MAIN SWITCH or AC Isolator (if installed).
- Turn on the PV ARRAY DC Isolator.
- Wait a few minutes for the inverter to restart.
- Check to see if the error has cleared.
If the inverter is still within the 5-year warranty, this situation is supposed to be covered for warranty claims. However, Growatt has changed its warranty terms. Instead of having a solar accredited electrician fix the issue or replace the inverter under warranty, they will charge $50 to make a warranty claim and then pay a company like Gold Coast Power Solutions to come and repair or replace your inverter. So, you’re looking at paying hundreds of dollars just to have it repaired under warranty.
If you wish to take this option, you will need to present the proof of purchase of when it was originally installed, the model number and serial number found on the side of the inverter.
If you don’t wish to deal with Growatt’s warranty terms or it is outside warranty, the best thing to do is to have the inverter replaced with a good quality unit under a full factory warranty that covers this issue.
