51Fault

DEYE inverter error 51 (F051)

W phase grid current DC component over current

Also displayed as F051 / F51 on some models.

Fault — the inverter cuts its output and the red LED stays solid until the fault is cleared.

The exact meaning depends on your model:

SUN G01P3-EU-BM8 Series

InverterFault

Also applies to:SUN-120K-G01P3-EU-BM8SUN-125K-G01P3-EU-BM8SUN-130K-G01P3-EU-BM8SUN-135K-G01P3-EU-BM8SUN-136K-G01P3-EU-BM8SUN-7K-G02P1-EU-AM2SUN-7.5K-G02P1-EU-AM2SUN-8K-G02P1-EU-AM2+3

What it means

W phase grid current DC component over current — The DC component of the W-phase grid current is too high. The manual notes this code has hardly ever appeared in the field.

Cause: The DC component of the W-phase grid current exceeds the allowed limit.

How to fix it

Restart the inverter; if the code persists after the restart, contact your installer or Deye service and provide the inverter serial number, the installation date and the displayed error code.

What it means

Charge inverses — Charging current was detected flowing in the wrong direction.

Cause: Reversed DC cable polarity or a miswired charge source pushed current through the battery in the reverse direction.

How to fix it

Switch off immediately and verify the polarity of the DC cables between battery and inverter before reconnecting.
