Fronius error 731: Initialisation error – USB flash drive is not supported
Fronius inverter error code 731 usually appears during a firmware update or when the inverter is trying to access a USB flash drive. The inverter has detected that the USB device cannot be read correctly, is unsupported or cannot initialise properly.
This issue is commonly linked to USB formatting, incompatible flash drives or firmware files being stored incorrectly.
This code can appear when:
- The USB flash drive is write or read protected
- The USB flash drive was not detected correctly
- The USB flash drive is not supported
- The firmware version on the flash drive is outdated
In many cases, the issue is related to the USB device itself rather than a fault with the inverter hardware.
Let e-Solar check your inverter and solar system safety
If Fronius error code 731 appears during a firmware update, first check whether the USB flash drive is formatted correctly and contains the proper Fronius firmware files.
Fronius generally recommends:
- Using a USB flash drive formatted to FAT32
- Removing any write or read protection
- Using a different USB flash drive if the device is unsupported
- Ensuring the latest compatible firmware version is loaded correctly
If the error keeps returning, stops the update process or your inverter is no longer operating normally, it is worth having the system checked. Our Perth-based solar team can help determine whether the issue is related to firmware compatibility, USB communication or a deeper inverter fault.
Contact e-Solar and let us know:
- The exact error code on the screen or app
- When the code appears
- Whether your solar production has dropped
- Your inverter model, if you know it
Do not interrupt firmware updates repeatedly or attempt advanced inverter settings changes unless you are confident in the process. Incomplete or incorrect updates can sometimes cause additional inverter communication problems.
