GoodWe ISO error: what insulation reading should a string have?

The short answer
The manual's check: PV string-to-PE resistance above 50 kΩ; also check PE. Rain-only faults may need a threshold reset.

Plain explanation

From the GoodWe manual for the ET / ET Plus+ / BT: Installer checks PV string-to-PE resistance is above 50 kΩ; find any short. Check the PE cable. The rest of the checklist is below; work through it in order. Installer only: DC and AC work on a live PV system is dangerous, so owners should note the code and call their installer.

Steps from the source

  1. Installer checks PV string-to-PE resistance is above 50 kΩ; find any short
  2. Check the PE cable
  3. If lower only on rainy days, ISO threshold may be reset in SolarGo (installer)
