The Problem

iStore error 2002: DC arc fault

iStore alarm 2002 usually means the inverter has detected a possible DC arc fault on the solar panel side of the system. This may relate to PV1 or PV2, depending on where the fault has been detected.

A DC arc fault can occur when PV string power cables are arcing or making poor contact. This may be caused by loose connectors, damaged cabling, poor terminations, moisture ingress, cracked components or another fault in the DC circuit.

This is a serious safety-related alarm and should not be ignored. DC arc faults can create fire risk if the system is not inspected and repaired properly.

The Solution

Contact e-Solar before resetting the system

If iStore alarm 2002 appears, do not keep resetting the inverter without understanding why the fault is occurring.

Our Perth-based solar team can inspect the inverter, DC cabling, connectors and solar strings to help determine whether the issue is linked to arcing, poor contact, damaged cables, faulty connectors or another DC-side 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, touch DC cabling, or inspect rooftop panels yourself. High-voltage DC solar systems can remain dangerous even when the inverter is turned off. If the issue is persistent, a qualified technician may need to inspect the PV strings, test DC connections and confirm the system is safe before restoring normal operation.
