SPF 3000TL LVM-ES / SPF 3500–5000 ES Lite off-grid (fault codes 01–81)
Growatt 06 error code
Output voltage is too high. The manual groups 06/58 as 'output abnormal' — inverter voltage above 150 Vac or below 40 Vac.
Likely causes
- Output voltage regulation fault in the inverter
- Output wiring fault or wrong output configuration
- Inverter output-stage fault
Checks to run, in order
- 1Measure the output voltage with a true-RMS meter
- 2Reduce the connected load and retry
- 3Check the output wiring and terminal connections
Fixes
- Reduce the connected load
- Restart the unit
- Re-measure the output voltage after restart
When to escalate
If the error happens again after restart, return the unit to a Growatt repair centre.
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 Growatt 06 mean?
Output voltage is too high. The manual groups 06/58 as 'output abnormal' — inverter voltage above 150 Vac or below 40 Vac.
How do I fix Growatt 06?
Reduce the connected load Restart the unit Re-measure the output voltage after restart
When should I escalate Growatt 06?
If the error happens again after restart, return the unit to a Growatt repair centre.
Can I reset Growatt 06 myself?
Only after isolating the AC and DC sides and running the checks above. If Growatt 06 returns immediately, stop resetting it and escalate; a repeating fault usually points to a real circuit, battery or hardware problem.
Which models show Growatt 06?
Growatt 06 is documented for SPF 3000TL LVM-ES / SPF 3500–5000 ES Lite off-grid (fault codes 01–81). Confirm the code on your own unit's display or manual before ordering parts.
