The Problem

iStore error 2021: String reversed

iStore alarm 2021 usually means the inverter’s Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) self-check process has failed.

The AFCI system is designed to detect dangerous DC arc faults within the solar system and help reduce the risk of electrical faults and fire hazards. When the inverter cannot successfully complete its self-check, it may stop normal operation until the issue is resolved.

Possible causes include a fault within the AFCI monitoring circuit, a failed AFCI component or an internal inverter issue affecting the safety monitoring system.

The Solution

Contact e-Solar before resetting the system

If iStore alarm 2021 appears, the inverter’s arc fault protection system should be assessed before the system continues operating.

Our Perth-based solar team can inspect the inverter and help determine whether the issue is related to AFCI circuitry, inverter electronics, firmware 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 to bypass any safety protection systems. If the issue is persistent, a qualified technician may need to perform further testing and determine whether repair or replacement is required.

If you’re unsure, don’t risk it. Contact e-Solar for safe, local support.
