The Problem

Solis alarm 1016: Unbalanced three-phase grid

Solis alarm code 1016 usually means the inverter has detected an unbalanced 3phase grid condition. This means the grid phases are not operating evenly or as expected.

Alarm code 1016 may appear as:

  • G-PHASE

This type of alarm is more relevant to three-phase Solis inverter systems. When this happens, the inverter may stop exporting power or disconnect from the grid to protect the system.

An unbalanced three-phase grid alarm may be linked to local grid conditions, AC wiring issues, phase imbalance, switchboard faults or another problem affecting the inverter’s grid connection.

The Solution

Let e-Solar check your inverter and three-phase supply

First, check whether there are any obvious issues with your property’s power supply, such as a recent outage, tripped breaker or other electrical fault affecting your three-phase connection.

If the property power supply appears normal, the issue may be linked to the grid connection, phase imbalance or how the inverter is reading the three-phase supply. In some cases, this may be caused by external network conditions rather than the inverter itself.

If the alarm continues to appear, contact e-Solar for support. A qualified technician can safely check the inverter, AC connection and three-phase supply to help identify whether the issue is coming from the grid, the switchboard or the solar system.

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, switchboard or AC wiring yourself. If the issue is persistent, a qualified technician may need to test the three-phase supply, inspect the AC connection and confirm whether the inverter is operating within safe grid limits.
