<div dir="ltr"><div>Matt,<br><br>How diligent have you been with SMA tech support? I know they have three levels of support and can elevate cases to an engineering team at their HQ beyond that. If you haven't yet, formally file a support ticket and then call the service line. Prepare to tell the same story you've probably already told to the level I technician and if they run out of answers ask to be elevated to level II. From there, continue asking questions. They should then inform you that they will take the issue offline to their behind-the-scenes team and work with you via email through their support ticket system. SMA has really stepped up its installer support process recently and it provides qualified installers a far easier and fluid process.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Sam<br><br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Carlito,Tahoma,sans-serif"><tbody><tr><td style="padding:0px 10px 0px 0px;vertical-align:top"><a href="https://onsiteenergyinc.com/" style="border:none" target="_blank"><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/675cb4f269e8da457106c938/67acde8cf274634235411bdd_email-sig-logo-onsite-energy.png" alt="OnSite Energy" align="top" width="60" height="60" style="display:block"></a></td><td style="padding:0px;vertical-align:top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td style="padding:0px 10px 0px 0px;vertical-align:bottom"><div color="#514ca0" style="padding:0px;color:rgb(81,76,160);font-size:12pt;font-weight:600;text-transform:uppercase">Sam Haraldson</div><div color="#f9a145" style="padding:0px;color:rgb(249,161,69);font-size:11pt">Operations Specialist</div><div color="#514ca0" style="padding:0px;color:rgb(81,76,160);font-size:9pt"><br></div></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Jun 24, 2026 at 5:45 PM Matt Sherald via RE-wrenches <<a href="mailto:re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org">re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hello!</div><div><br></div><div>I'm hoping someone on the list has experience with the 6304 code on the SB 5000TL-US-22 or similar vintage (2015) SMA inverter.</div><div><br></div><div>I was asked to troubleshoot an inverter that has developed a daily habit of throwing this error and stopping production. </div><div><br></div><div>The production curves over the last several days show production in the AM that builds and then abruptly stops late AM./mid-day.
