The Problem

Solis alarm 1041: Detected DC arc in the DC circuit

Solis alarm code 1041 usually means the inverter has detected a possible DC arc fault in the solar circuit.

Alarm code 1041 may appear as:

  • ARC-FAULT

This is a serious safety-related alarm and should not be ignored. A DC arc fault may occur when there is poor contact, loose connectors, damaged DC cabling, faulty MC4 connectors, a poor junction box connection, cracked panels or another issue affecting the DC circuit.

When this happens, the inverter may stop operating to reduce risk and protect the system.

The Solution

Contact e-Solar before resetting the system

If Solis alarm 1041 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, panel connections and solar strings to help determine whether the issue is linked to arcing, poor contact, damaged cables, faulty connectors, panel damage 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 solar technician may need to inspect the DC connections, test the PV strings and confirm the system is safe before restoring normal operation.
