EV charger installation caused code 1 and code 26 faults
Posted: Mon Jun 22, 2026 5:32 pm
Hi there!
In my attempts to go all electric I had an Ohme Pod installed today through Octopus.
I hadn’t realised until after the engineer left that my whole system is now offline.
H1 6kW inverter, 2x 5kW batteries, 6kW panels.
I have the error messages:
Code-1: no utility
Code-26: grid voltage fault
Called engineer, told me to switch off all PV breakers, wait a couple minutes then back on: did nothing.
Then told me to reboot so I turned all isolators to off, turned off batteries.
I think that’s what create a code-234 BMS alarm.
Switched everything back to on, still nothing and now the batteries refuse to turn on!
Any help?
Thanks,
Nico
