3 Notes on Installation and
Operation

3.1 Intended use

The Powador inverter converts the DC power generated by the
photovoltaic (PV) modules into AC power and feeds this into
the power grid.
Powador inverters are built according to the state of the art
and recognised safety rules. Nevertheless, improper use may
cause lethal hazards for the operator or third parties, or may
result in damage to the units and other property.
The inverter may only be operated with a permanent connec-
tion to the public power grid. The inverter is not intended for
mobile use.
Any other or additional use is not considered the intended use.
The manufacturer/supplier is not liable for damage caused by
such unintended use. Damage caused by such unintended use
is at the sole risk of the operator.
Intended use also includes adherence to the operating and
installation instructions. Some of the documents that you
require in order to register your photovoltaic installation and
have it approved are included in the installation instructions
(see section 9).
