Learn about Tigo Energy Error Code 304, its causes, and how to resolve it effectively.
Error Code 304 indicates an AC overfrequency condition in the system. This can lead to performance issues and requires immediate attention.
Regularly monitor system performance and ensure proper configuration settings. Additionally, check for any external factors affecting the grid frequency.
The Tigo Energy inverter is designed to operate within specific grid frequency limits, typically between 59.3 Hz and 60.5 Hz. When the grid frequency exceeds these thresholds, the inverter triggers fault 304 to protect itself and the solar array from potential damage. This fault is often a result of the inverter's internal monitoring systems detecting an overfrequency condition, which could stem from various factors, including grid disturbances or faulty configuration settings.
Users may observe the Tigo Energy inverter displaying a fault 304 on the monitoring app or via LED indicators. The inverter may stop producing power, resulting in a noticeable drop in solar energy generation. Additionally, the app may show alerts related to AC overfrequency, indicating that the grid frequency is outside of operational parameters.
Always ensure that any troubleshooting or repairs are performed by a licensed electrician or certified solar installer to prevent electrical hazards.
To minimize the risk of encountering 304 in the future, regularly maintain the inverter and associated electrical components. Schedule periodic inspections to check for proper grounding and secure connections. Additionally, stay informed about changes in local utility grid operations and ensure the inverter settings align with these requirements.
