How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Warning: Do not repeatedly power cycle during firmware updates unless instructed; this can worsen corruption.

  • Stable power: Ensure the charger circuit breaker remains ON and that there are no ongoing power outages.
  • Retry update: Using the Enphase app, check for available firmware and attempt the update again, following on-screen instructions.
  • Network stability: Make sure Wi-Fi or Ethernet is stable during the update. Avoid heavy network usage that could interrupt the download.
  • Factory reset (if supported): Follow the user manual to perform a safe factory reset of the charger configuration, then reconnect it to the app and retry the update.
  • If E205 persists: The internal flash memory or control board may be damaged. A technician may need to reflash firmware via service tools or replace the control board.
