BYD B-Box HV Troubleshooting

Please first follow the article called Commissioning the Solis RHI-1P(5-10)K-HVES-5G with a BYD B-Box HV Battery to ensure the battery has been properly commissioned before attempting any troubleshooting steps

Alarm Codes Related to the BYD Battery

1. OV-Vbatt1
   • The inverter is detecting abnormally high voltage coming from the battery
   • The nominal DC voltage range of the battery is 320-451V
   • Measure the DC voltage at the battery input terminals with the fuses in and battery switches ON
   • Turn the battery switches OFF and then back ON after a few minutes – measure the voltage again
   • For advanced troubleshooting, contact the Solis USA Service line
2. OV-Vbatt-H
   • This alarm is similar to OV-Vbatt1 except that in this case there is a battery hardware fault
   • Inspect the communication wires at both ends – do a tug test to ensure they are snug
   • Turn the battery switches off and then back on after a few minutes
   • Follow the commissioning steps found on page 11
   • If the error code persists, the battery BMS is most likely experiencing difficulties 
   • Contact BYD Support 
3. UN-Vbatt1
   • The inverter is detecting abnormally low voltage coming from the battery
   • With the battery DC fuses pushed in, measure the DC voltage coming from the battery
   • If the voltage is zero, make sure that the battery switch is turned on
   • If the voltage coming from the battery is still zero, verify that the battery has been commissioned
     • Plug into the battery with a laptop
     • Follow the commissioning steps located in the article called "Solis Energy Storage Inverter with BYD B-Box Commissioning"
4. NO-Battery
   • The inverter is not detecting a battery connected 
   • Go to "Battery Control" in Advanced Settings and select the correct battery
     • Note: if the communication wires are not landed properly, the inverter will continue to display "No Battery" until the wires have been configured and the correct battery selected
   • Turn the battery switch to the OFF position – check the battery fuses in the inverter to make sure they are not blown – replace the fuses if they are – leave the fuses pulled out for now
   • Turn the battery switches ON and then check polarity at the input terminals – turn the switches back off
   • Push the battery fuses in and then turn the battery switches ON
   • Follow the commissioning steps on page 11 to configure the inverter for the BYD Battery
   • Measure the DC voltage coming from the battery – if the voltage is less than 84V contact BYD Support
   • If the voltage is more than 85V and the inverter still says “NO-Battery” after performing these steps, contact Solis USA Service line
