Possible Causes

Incorrect OCPP server URL or credentials, TLS certificate mismatch, Network firewall blocking OCPP ports, Firmware not compatible with backend configuration

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Context: This applies mainly to commercial or managed Enphase EV chargers using OCPP.

  • Verify configuration: In the management portal or local configuration interface, confirm the OCPP server URL, port, and credentials are correct.
  • Check certificates: Ensure any required TLS certificates are valid and correctly installed on both server and charger.
  • Firewall rules: Confirm that outbound traffic from the charger's network to the OCPP server port is allowed.
  • Restart services: Reboot the charger and, if possible, restart the OCPP backend service.
  • Vendor support: If E203 persists, coordinate with Enphase and the OCPP backend provider to review logs and update firmware or configuration.
