  • Page 2: Preface

    Preface Thank you for purchasing iMars MG series grid-tied solar inverters. iMars MG series grid-tied solar inverters is mainly used in solar photovoltaic grid system. As a non-isolation and high-efficiency string photovoltaic grid-tied inverter, it transfers DC energy generated by solar modules to sinusoidal AC energy and feedback to public grid. The energy has the same frequency and phase with the utility grid.
