Polarity Reversal
of Solar Module
Strings
Connecting all solar module strings with reverse polarity will not cause any damage to the
inverter.
All solar module strings connected with reverse polari-
ty - no damage to the inverter

CAUTION! Risk of damage and fire to inverter due to reverse polarity of single
solar module strings.
Reverse polarity of even one single solar module string can cause an unaccept-
able thermal load, which can lead to an inverter fire.
Confirm string polarity and voltage before connecting DC wires to the inverter!
