Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Verify current status and any additional diagnostic messages displayed on the inverter's screen or via the monitoring interface.

  2. 2

    Perform a full power cycle of the inverter by safely disconnecting both DC and AC power, waiting at least 5 minutes, and then reconnecting.

  3. 3

    Review the inverter's internal event log for specific sub-codes or patterns related to the BFR-SRR communication failure.

  4. 4

    Check the inverter's currently installed firmware version and compare it with the latest recommended version from SMA for potential updates.

  5. 5

    Measure the incoming DC voltage from the PV array and the outgoing AC voltage at the inverter's output terminals to confirm they are within specified operating limits.
