I have one inverter that has an AFCI warning on it.  It is the primary inverter of a 3 inverter with 2 batteries system.  Has anyone experienced this before?  This has shown up in the last month of a 5 month pld system.

Do you have a PV string(s) connected to that inverter?  If so, use your disconnect and remove that string(s) from the inverter.  Clear the error and see if it comes back. If not, then re-enable the PV string(s) and see if the error returns.  If so, you have an arc fault in your PV array (be careful diagnosing from here on).  Start with a visual inspection of all grounds on the PV and go from there.

Be very careful with a PV ground issue.
