I usually get the 08 GFDI error when I haven’t bonded neutral to ground 
downstream. (Typically because I booted up the inverter after DC connection but 
before any AC wires are landed.) That goes away once it is fully commissioned. 

I get the F23 - Tz_GFCI_OC_Fault If is related to the PV array, leakage or 
bonding. 

I do always run a properly sized ground wire from the array to the inverter 
ground. 

Thank you,

Maverick
