Fronius state 307 or 306 PV voltage low: what it means and what to do

Fronius state 306 "PV POWER LOW" and 307 "PV VOLTAGE LOW" mean the panels are not supplying enough power or voltage for the inverter to feed the grid, so it pauses and returns to its startup phase. Fronius states that both codes appear naturally every morning and evening because of low sunlight and are not the result of a fault. They only need attention if they persist in good sunlight.

Can wait

Common causes

  • Low sunlight in the early morning, the evening or at night. This is normal.
  • Panels covered with snow, dirt or leaves.
  • The DC switch at the bottom of the inverter in the off position.

Safe steps to try

  1. Check the time of day If the code shows around sunrise or sunset and clears once the sun is up, nothing is wrong.
  2. Look at the panels from the ground Check for snow, leaves or heavy dirt. Do not climb onto the roof.
  3. Look at the DC switch position Fronius asks owners to make sure the DC switch at the bottom of the inverter is in the "I" (on) position. Look without touching; if it shows 0, tell your technician.
  4. Call if it persists in good sun Fronius's remedy is to contact your installer if the code persists with sufficient sunlight.

When to call a professional

Call if 306 or 307 stays on in clear midday sun with clean panels, or if your monitoring shows little or no production on sunny days.

Frequently asked questions

My Fronius shows 307 every morning. Is something broken?
No. Fronius states that 306 and 307 appear naturally every morning and evening due to low solar irradiance and are not the result of a fault.
What is the difference between 306 and 307?
Fronius uses 306 when the inverter's intermediate circuit voltage is too low to feed the grid, and 307 when the DC input voltage from the panels is too low. Both have the same causes and the same advice.
