Important issue

Known issues

Inverter goes offline after receiving a setpoint of 0

Some Sungrow inverter models stop communicating with the EMS for an extended period after the EMS sends a power setpoint of 0 kW (for example, during curtailment at negative energy prices). The inverter enters a low-power or sleep state and does not immediately respond to new commands.

Workaround: If this behaviour occurs on your installation, contact Voltmasters Support. A configuration adjustment may be required to prevent the inverter from entering this unresponsive state during zero-setpoint periods.
