The inverter may only be operated with a permanent connection to the public power grid. The inverter is not Separate the Growatt -US securely from the grid and the PV generators using intended for mobile use. Any other or additional use is NOTICE DC and AC Switch.
3.2 Information of Label Persons with limited physical or mental abilities may only work with the Growatt inverter following proper instruction and under constant supervision. Children are forbidden to play with the Growatt inverter. Must keep the Growatt inverter away You can identify the pv inverter by the type label.
If there are a batch of inverters need to be stored, the maximum layers for Complete delivery should contain as follows: original carton is seven. After long term storage, local installer or service department of Growatt should perform a comprehensive test before installation 3.6 The advantage of the unit...
The inverter must only be operated with PV generator. Do not connect Though the packaging box of Growatt is durable, please treat any other source of energy to it. the packing box gently and avoid dispose the packing box. In Both AC and DC voltage sources are terminated inside the PV Inverter.
5.2 Selecting the installation location This is guidance for installer to choose a suitable installation location, to avoid potential damages to device and operators. Raintight or wet location hubs that comply with the requirements in the Standard for Conduit, Tubing, and Cable Fittings, UL 514B, are to be used. The unit shall be mounted at least 914 mm (3 feet) above the ground.
There must be sufficient clearance between the individual inverters to ensure that the cooling air of the adjacent inverter is not taken in. If necessary, increase the clearance spaces and make sure there is enough fresh air supply to ensure sufficient cooling of the inverters. 5.3 Mounting the Inverter with bracket Ambient dimensions of one inverter In order to avoid electrical shock or other injury,...
Fix the mounting frame as the figure shows. Do not make the screws to be flush After confirming the inverter is fixed reliably, fasten four M6 safety-lock sokets to the wall. Instead, leave 2 to 4mm exposed. head cap screws on the left and right side firmly to prevent the inverter from being lifted off the bracket.
5.6.2 System Diagram with Inverter Electrical Utility grid Intended Use The unit converts the DC current generated by the photovoltaic (PV) modules to grid- Single inverter System Installation compliant alternating current and feed-in into the electricity grid. Growatt inverters are PV array Inverter Breaker Fuse Energy Meter built according to all required safety rules.

Communications 6.2 Setting the LCD display The inverter can support two kinds of knock: single knock, double knock. Each 7.1 Monitoring Products : kind of knock has different function. Refer to specified definition in Table below 7.1.1 Shine Net Knock type Definition Shine NET is a PC software that communicate with inverter to analyze the inverter working state.
LAN or WAN. User can easily access data browse interface via an Internet WiFi and Shinelan can be used as an optional monitoring scheme. Simply insert Explorer. module (It is available from Growatt) to inverter’s RS232 port, then run ShineNet or Shine Server in a computer.
7.4 RS485 cable connection As to the connection between inverters, please refer to the following figure. 1.Installation rubber pipe into the knock-out hole and pull the pipe nut slightly, feed the RS485 cables through the pipe into the wire box. Information RS485 communication wiring request and machining.
Start-Up and shut down the inverter Maintenance and Cleaning 8.1 Start-Up the inverter 9.1 Checking Heat Dissipation 1. Connect the AC circuit breaker If the inverter regularly reduces its output power due to high temperature, please 2. Turn on the DC switch, and the inverter will start automatically when the input improve the heat dissipation condition.
Decommissioning Trouble shooting Sometimes, the PV inverter does not work normally, we recommend the following 10.1 Dismantling the Inverter solutions for common troubleshooting. The following table can help the technician to understand the problem and take action. 1. Disconnect the inverter as described in chapter 10. 2.Remove all connection cables from the inverter.
PV panel to monitor the internal system status; Growatt Warranty The inverter starts up automatically when the DC power from the PV panel is sufficient.
