The Problem

Growatt warning 202: SPD fault alarm

Growatt warning 202 usually means the inverter has detected a fault with the SPD, also known as the surge protection device.

The surge protection device helps protect your inverter and solar system from voltage spikes, electrical surges and lightning-related events. Growatt inverters may have surge protection on both the AC and DC sides of the system.

When this warning appears, the inverter may still continue producing power, but the surge protection function may no longer be operating correctly.

This type of warning can occur after lightning activity, power surges, storm events or electrical disturbances affecting the solar system.

The Solution

Book a solar inverter check with e-Solar

If Growatt warning 202 appears, it is worth having the system inspected even if your inverter still seems to be operating normally.

A failed surge protection device may leave the inverter more vulnerable to future surge or lightning-related damage. Our Perth solar team can inspect the inverter, assess the SPD condition and help determine whether replacement or further testing is needed.

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 to replace surge protection components yourself. If the warning is persistent, a qualified technician may need to inspect the AC and DC protection systems, internal components and overall inverter safety.
