Howie-
Sounds like you may need a replacement Aurora inverter.
I
recently replaced one of these Aurora PVI 4.2-OUTD-S-US with a 5 kW
SunnyBoy to get the Secure Power feature and upgrade to a larger size.
This Aurora inverter is vintage 2013 like yours. It was working fine.
The owner located in Fairfax CA would like to sell it off inexpensively.
Let me know if you are interested.

Hi All,
Does anyone know if any manufacturer is currently responsible for warranty
issues of 2013 Aurora PVI 4.2-OUTD-S-US inverters?
I don't remember if this is an "ungrounded" inverter, but in any case, if
it needs replacement, what are the code rules for replacing it with a
different inverter? I believe it isn't required to upgrade to RSD equipment
since it is just a repair. Any suggestions for a good replacement that will
reasonably match the PVI's input DC voltage specs?
Thanks,
Howie

Hi Howie
ABB (now Fimer)
1-877-261-1374.
They typically require specific photos for warranty.
Error code 031 is common.
Junk arc fault detector that require upgrade also common.
Thanks
Rich
