I have a 2012 SMA 4000 TL-20 inverter that two days ago stopped generating 5:40am with the error code 33 and Message "Unstable Operation".

This suggests "not enough input on DC side", and one issue might be snow.but this is summer, so cannot be there that, this is what screen shows, ( it's German). Is there anyone out there that could give me some advice?

It was installed in 2012.so is it a new inverter I ask?

This is a very helpful group so fingers crossed someone knows something, but if you could track down an equivalent forum for that brand of inverter you might have more luck.

My understanding is that inverters often last somewhere between 10-15 years so it might need serious fixing or replacement.

As a consolation if it does need to be replaced, inverters are much cheaper and better than they were 12 years ago.
