STATE 311Polarity of DC strings reversed
Name in the manufacturer's documentation (service manual): Polarity of DC strings reversed
[1]
In plain words (editorial)
The polarity of the DC strings is reversed (plus and minus swapped). Feeding into the grid is interrupted briefly and the inverter restarts its start-up routine. The manual says the fault clears automatically.
When to call a service technician: If it keeps recurring, have the installer check the string wiring – DC voltage is present whenever the panels are lit.
