The Problem

Growatt error 408: NTC temperature too high

Growatt error code 408 usually means the inverter has detected that its internal temperature is too high. When this happens, your inverter may reduce output, shut down or stop operating to protect its internal components.

This can happen during hot weather, when the inverter is installed in direct sunlight, when airflow is restricted or when dust and debris affect cooling.

If the issue is not caused by external heat or ventilation problems, it may be linked to a fan issue, temperature sensor fault, internal inverter fault or another cooling-related problem.

The Solution

Book a solar inverter check with e-Solar

If the code appears once on a very hot day and clears after the inverter cools down, your inverter may simply have responded to temporary high temperature conditions.

If Growatt error code 408 keeps returning, your solar output has dropped, or the inverter is regularly shutting down, it is worth having the system checked. Our Perth-based solar experts can inspect the inverter, review the installation location and help determine whether the issue is linked to heat exposure, poor ventilation, cooling fan issues, temperature sensing or another internal 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 open the inverter or attempt internal checks yourself. If the issue is persistent, a qualified technician may need to inspect airflow, cooling components, fan operation, temperature sensors and inverter performance before recommending the safest next step.
