Axpert Fault 07 fault: Overload time-out

Safe to check yourself
Urgency: low

What it means

The inverter was overloaded for too long. This also happens on hot days when hot panels cause derating.

Likely causes

  • Too many appliances at once
  • Heat-related derating

What you can safely check

  1. Switch off or unplug heavy appliances (kettle, heater, geyser, pool pump) on the backup circuits.
  2. Make sure the vents around the unit are clear and nothing is stacked against it.
  3. If it keeps coming back, stop and call a qualified installer.

When to call a pro

If the safe checks don't clear it, or it keeps coming back, call a qualified installer.

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