SUN-5-12K-SG01HP3-EU-DM2 three-phase hybrid (F-series table)
Deye F09 error code
IGBT power-stage failure detected.
Likely causes
- IGBT or gate-driver failure
- AC output short circuit or severe overload
- Power-stage overheating
- DC bus overvoltage event
Checks to run, in order
- 1Check the AC output and downstream wiring for a short
- 2Check the load and ambient temperature
- 3Power-cycle and read the fault history
- 4Compare the DC bus and battery voltage with the specification
Fixes
- Clear any output short and reduce the load
- Restart once after the unit has cooled
When to escalate
IGBT failures are not field-repairable; stop and return the inverter to the distributor.
Fix it with the right tools
Check the system around the fault before replacing parts: load, battery bank, PV string and commissioning settings. If you need a second opinion, send the code and your inverter model to our team.
Before you open the inverter
- Isolate both the AC and DC sides, then confirm the display is dead before touching terminals.
- Use insulated tools and one hand where possible. DC arcs do not self-extinguish like AC.
- If you see burnt terminals, swollen cells, leaking electrolyte or a burning smell, stop and escalate instead of resetting the fault.
Questions installers ask
What does Deye F09 mean?
IGBT power-stage failure detected.
How do I fix Deye F09?
Clear any output short and reduce the load Restart once after the unit has cooled
When should I escalate Deye F09?
IGBT failures are not field-repairable; stop and return the inverter to the distributor.
Can I reset Deye F09 myself?
Only after isolating the AC and DC sides and running the checks above. If Deye F09 returns immediately, stop resetting it and escalate; a repeating fault usually points to a real circuit, battery or hardware problem.
Which models show Deye F09?
Deye F09 is documented for SUN-5-12K-SG01HP3-EU-DM2 three-phase hybrid (F-series table). Confirm the code on your own unit's display or manual before ordering parts.
