AC Module System Installation Manual 2 Introduction The LG AC module consists of a DC module and a microinverter. Without any additional equipment, it converts the solar energy to AC power which can be consumed by electric appliances in a home or can be supplied to the utility.
3 Installation 3-1 Instructions before Installation • LG AC module is a “Grid Support Utility Interactive Inverter” , which requires approval from the corresponding authority prior to connection with the utility grid. Contact the applicable local government agencies and/or utility company.
AC modules. 2. Wi-Fi antenna is attached on the body of EnerBox2 for wireless connection of an EnerBox2 to a homeowner’s existing router. A router is not provided by LG Electronics. 3. EnerBox2 left-side provides many functions including reset, buttons, LEDs, etc.
To avoid the tensile strain from the thermal expansion, it is recommended to leave a space more than 6mm (0.236 inches) between AC modules frames. • Mount LG AC module to PV rack with 4~5N•m torque. • For reliable connection, make sure that the AC module frame and a PV rack are surely fastened enough to prevent the AC modules from getting loose.
