Victron Error 26 fault: Internal error

Keep an eye on it

What it means

Likely causes

What you can safely check

  1. Do one full restart using the unit's on/off switch.
  2. If it keeps coming back, stop and call a qualified installer.

When to call a pro

If it doesn't clear on its own, happens often, or comes with burning smells, heat or noise, call a qualified installer.

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