Deye F20 fault: DC over-current (hardware)

Call a qualified installer
Urgency: medium

What it means

Too much current flowed on the battery or solar (DC) side and the inverter tripped to protect itself. If it happens more than once it needs an installer.

Likely causes

  • Very heavy load while running on battery
  • Battery or DC-side fault
  • Internal inverter fault

Don't try to fix this yourself

While you wait for a pro, you can:

  • Avoid starting several heavy appliances at the same time while running on battery.
  • Restart the inverter once using its documented switch-off and switch-on procedure.

When to call a pro

Call a qualified installer now. Switch off heavy loads and don't try to repair anything yourself.

Solar systems carry dangerous voltages. Only do the safe checks listed. If unsure, call a pro.
