Alarm 2003DC Arc Fault
Name in the manufacturer's documentation (fault list): DC Arc Fault
[1]
In plain words (editorial)
The inverter detected an electric arc on the DC side – the manual names arcing or poor contact in the PV string cables. The alarm ID identifies the affected string; burn marks, loose or badly crimped terminals and damaged cables are what to look for.
When to call a service technician: Do not touch the DC cabling yourself – have an installer inspect it. If the alarm persists, the manual says to export the logs and contact technical support.
