1. Introduction

1.2.1 Storage

If the inverter is not installed immediately, storage instructions and environmental conditions are below:
● Use the original box to repackage the inverter, seal with adhesive tape with the desiccant inside the
box.
● Store the inverter in a clean and dry place, free of dust and dirt. The storage temperature must be




between -40 - 70 ℃ and humidity should be between 0 to 100%, non-condensing.
● Do not stack more than two (2) inverters high on a single pallet. Do not stack more than 2 pallets




high.
● Keep the box(es) away from corrosive materials to avoid damage to the inverter enclosure.
● Inspect the packaging regularly. If packing is damaged (wet, pest damages, etc.), repackage the
inverter immediately.
● Store inverters on a flat, hard surface -- not inclined or upside down.
● After 100 days of storage, the inverter and carton must be inspected for physical damage before




installing. If stored for more than 1 year, the inverter needs to be fully examined and tested by




qualified service or electrical personnel before using.
● Restarting after a long period of non-use requires the equipment be inspected and, in some cases,




the removal of oxidation and dust that has settled inside the equipment will be required.
