2.3 Assembly Warnings breaker) depending upon the prevailing safety rules. The Growatt inverter is to be used solely to feed solar energy The inverter may only be operated with a permanent connection to converted photovoltaically into the public grid. The inverter is the public power grid.
Product Description All operations regarding transport, installation and start-up, including maintenance must be operated by qualified, trained 3.1 Inverter overview personnel and in compliance with all prevailing codes and regulations. Anytime the inverter has been disconnected from the power network, use extreme caution as some components can retain charge sufficient to create a shock hazard;...
Symbol on the inverter 3.4 Transportation Symbol Description Explanation The inverter is thoroughly tested and inspected strictly before delivery. Our inverters leave our factory in proper electrical and mechanical condition. Special packaging ensures safe Tap symbol Indicates display operation (see Section 6). and careful transportation.
Unpacking Installation 5.1 Safety instruction Before opening the packing box of UE series inverter, please note that whether there are any visible external damages. Danger to life due to fire or explosion Once open the packing box, please check the delivery for completeness and for any Despite careful construction, electrical devices can cause fires.
When a photovoltaic panel is exposed to light, it generates a DC voltage. 10) Notice the minimum clearances of the inverter. (Refer to 3.3 Dimensions When connected to this equipment, a photovoltaic panel will charge the and Fig.5.2 Required Clearances). DC link capacitors.
5.3.2 Mounting Inverter Falling equipment can cause serious or even fatal injury, never mount the inverter on the bracket unless you are sure that the mounting frame is really firmly mounted on the wall after carefully WARNING checking. After expansion bolt is firmly mounted on the wall, then mount the inverter on expansion bolt.

Improper operation during the wiring process can cause fatal injury to operator or unrecoverable damage to the inverter. Only qualified personnel can perform the wiring work. Risk of damage to the inverter. If the voltage of the PV modules exceeds the maximum input voltage of the inverter, it can be destroyed by the overvoltage.
3 Check the assembled DC connectors for correct polarity and connect them to the Ground kit inverter. 4 The maximum string currents are varying from different inverter types. If PV modules of the PV system require POSITIVE or NEGATIVE to connect to GROUND, the output of inverter should connect to grid with an isolating Model Max.current...
