Flashing red indicator

A red flashing indicator on the battery unit signals a fault state on the stored-energy side.

Common causes

  • Inverter-side fault reported through the battery indicator
  • Arc, ground or rapid-shutdown event
  • Internal protection trip
  • Communication loss during operation

Safe checks

  1. 1Note the exact flash pattern and timing.
  2. 2Check the owner app for a fault description.
  3. 3Do not open the unit or remove covers — the unit stores energy after shutdown.
  4. 4Contact a certified installer with the pattern you observed.

When to call a technician

Call a qualified technician if the device repeats the fault after a manufacturer-approved restart, shows a burning smell, has damaged or discoloured wiring, or if the symptom involves the battery, inverter power stage or any sealed high-voltage component.
