Sunsynk problems & fault guides — every common fault covered

Every Sunsynk fault guide in one place. Battery not charging, cheap rate not working, Solarman offline, no backup during a power cut — each page walks through the diagnostic path, the common causes, and whether it can be fixed remotely (WiFi isn't remote work: the guide comes first, then an on-site visit). Select your fault below.

Ron has come to our rescue once again! After sorting out our GivEnergy battery issue, he was on hand to help us find a solution to data logging issues caused during install of an additional inverter. He's helpful, patient and extremely knowledgeable. Utterly brilliant service. Thank you again!

Had a fault on a GivEnergy AC coupled 3kW home battery and was getting no joy from multiple companies I contacted, as well as the original installer. Contacted Solar Tech Support and they sorted it really quickly, now working perfectly again, can’t recommend them highly enough, professional and very responsive!

My installer put me through Hell with so botched install that you can not imagine Than Ron came , He did not managed to do miracles (because my system components were impossible to work together) and he Gave me a detailed report of what is wrong , why is wrong , why can not be fixed etc. with all the details which I can use in a claim. Without His his help knowledge and attitude I would've been lost

I left an enquiry few days ago and got a call back today from Ron. I have FoxESS battery and inverter that seemed not doing the right job and after only few questions, Ron told me exactly what I need to do to restart my system, without even seeing it. After almost 2 weeks of not being able to use my FoxESS equipment, today is finally up and running. Very professional and knowledgeable. Thanks Ron

Called spoke to Ron. Was very informative and more importantly listen to the issues regarding my system. Was very professional and tackled the problem and had my system back on it's way. Thank you once again Ron

Brilliant service from Ron - our GivEnergy inverter stopped working on Tuesday what a nightmare seen as the company who installed it are no longer in business. Through social media I found STS (Ron) he had a new inverter and it was fitted and working by Friday - what I thought was going to be a nightmare turned out not to be!!! Great guy great company - def my go to now for anything solar related - Thank you so much

Fault Codes

Sunsynk fault code index

Sunsynk fault codes appear in the Solarman app and on the inverter display. Common code groups cover grid voltage faults (F43 and F44), battery communication errors, DC bus faults, and temperature protection trips. Share your exact code when you book — we identify the root cause as part of the remote diagnostic.

Fault code categories
·Battery charging errors (BMS faults)
·Grid voltage / frequency faults (F43 to F48)
·DC bus & over-temperature faults
·Solarman connectivity errors (WiFi: guide first, then on site)

How we approach Sunsynk fault diagnosis

Every fault guide above is built from real Sunsynk diagnostic sessions. The pattern we see most often is a homeowner who has set up their charge schedule correctly — the windows look right in Solarman — but the battery still isn't charging at the cheap rate. The root cause is almost always one of three things: the grid charge enable toggle, an SoC minimum threshold that's too high, or a BST/GMT offset after the clocks changed. None of these require a site visit.

Sunsynk's Solarman monitoring platform gives us a detailed view of charge/discharge history, TOU schedule logs, DC input voltage, and fault code registers. That's why most Sunsynk problems, including grid disconnection faults, can be fully diagnosed and resolved remotely, often in a single session. The exception is a datalogger that has dropped off your WiFi: we can set it up on site, from £195.

If your fault isn't listed above, or you've worked through a guide and the problem persists, book a remote diagnostic. We're independent from Sunsynk Energy and your installer — you get an objective second opinion on what's actually wrong and what needs doing.

FAQ

Sunsynk problems — common questions

The most common Sunsynk problems are: battery not charging on the cheap rate overnight (TOU schedule or grid charge setting error), Solarman app showing offline (datalogger WiFi connectivity lost after a router change), battery not discharging at peak times (SoC minimum threshold too high or discharge schedule misconfigured), and grid disconnection faults (AC voltage or frequency excursion outside G98/G99 limits). The vast majority are configuration issues, not hardware faults.
The most common causes are: the TOU (Time of Use) charge window not matching your tariff's cheap rate period, the grid charge enable setting switched off, or the battery SoC minimum threshold set too high to allow meaningful charging. Sunsynk integrates with Octopus Agile, Intelligent, and Go — but the TOU schedule must be precisely configured. BST/GMT offsets also catch people out after the clocks change. See the Sunsynk cheap rate guide for the full diagnostic path.
In most cases, yes. The system usually keeps running, but offline doesn't prove it, so check the inverter's own screen. The most common cause is the WiFi datalogger losing connection after a router change, broadband switch, or firmware update. The datalogger needs to be reconfigured to connect to the new network, and if it won't reconnect, we can set it up on site, from £195. See the monitoring offline guide for step-by-step instructions.
Yes — the majority of Sunsynk faults are fully diagnosable and fixable remotely. We review Solarman monitoring data, TOU schedule history, fault code logs, and charge/discharge waveforms in a single session. On-site visits are only needed for physical hardware faults, such as DC cable issues, CT clamp repositioning or component replacement, and for WiFi setup. Most tariff and schedule problems are resolved without anyone visiting your home.
The remote diagnostic is free. Most Sunsynk problems are TOU schedule, grid-charge, or monitoring settings — and if we can put it right remotely it's £125, and you only pay if we fix it. Hardware work on site, such as a DC cable, a CT clamp or a hardware swap, is quoted first, from £295. If the datalogger needs reconnecting to your WiFi, we can set it up on site, from £195.
Usually the same day. We read your Solarman data, TOU schedule, and error log in a 30-minute remote session and tell you exactly what's wrong and how to fix it, and most cheap-rate and discharge issues are sorted there and then. We don't set up or diagnose WiFi remotely or over the phone: it's quicker and more reliable done on site.

Can't find your fault, or the guide didn't fix it?

A remote diagnostic session finds the exact cause using your Solarman data, error history, and TOU schedule — then gives you a clear repair plan. Most Sunsynk problems are resolved in a single session.
