Alarm 2080Abnormal PV Module Configuration
Name in the manufacturer's documentation (fault list): Abnormal PV Module Configuration
[1]
In plain words (editorial)
Abnormal PV module configuration with optimizers. The manual lists, among others, too many or too few optimizers in series, changed optimizer positions or combined/exchanged strings, reverse polarity or a disconnected string, low irradiance, incompatible optimizers, or parallel strings on one MPPT where not allowed.
When to call a service technician: Have your installer check the optimizer configuration and string wiring.

For technicians
Possible causes (source text)
- The total number of optimizers exceeds the upper limit allowed by the device.[2]
- The string power or the number of optimizers connected in series exceeds the upper limit.[3]
- The optimizer installation position is changed, or pv strings are combined or exchanged.[4]
- The irradiance is low or abnormal.[5]
- The string voltage exceeds the allowed input voltage of the device in the partial configuration scenario (not every module has an optimizer).[6]
- Failed to meet the optimizer-optimizer compatibility matrix.[7]
- Failed to meet the optimizer-inverter compatibility matrix.[8]
- The number of optimizers connected in series in the pv string is below the lower threshold.[9]
- The string output terminals are in reverse polarity.[10]
- Disconnection has occurred on the string.[11]
- The output terminals of some optimizers in the pv string are connected in reverse polarity.[12]
- Parallel string connection under the same mppt is not allowed.[13]
Steps given by the manufacturer (source text)
- Check the string cable connection. for details, see the optimizer installation quick guide.[14]
- Check whether the number of optimizers connected in series in the pv string is below the lower threshold.[15]
- Check whether the pv string output terminals are connected in reverse polarity.[16]
- Check whether the pv string output is disconnected.[17]
- Perform optimizer search again when the irradiance is normal.[18]
- Correctly use optimizers based on the inverter-optimizer compatibility matrix in the optimizer user manual.[19]
- If the inverter does not support parallel pv module connection, ensure that each mppt connects to only one pv string.[20]
- Ensure that each module is connected to an optimizer.[21]
- Check that the number of optimizers connected in series is within the upper threshold.[22]
