overview of a grid connect system A solar grid connect system is a green way of offsetting the amount of power the utility needs to generate to service its customers. It is usually decentralised and only operates during daylight hours. Depending on your local regulations, the energy generated during these hours may be used in your house first...

PV panels (Photovoltaic Panels) Generate DC power in the conversion of light through to electrical energy. Grid connect inverter Converts DC power to AC power suitable for feeding into the public utility grid. (Light Emitting Diode) Energy efficient lighting and indicator choice. Wi-Fi Allows for wireless internet connection through a wireless router.

shutdown procedure Removal of the inverter must be completed by a suitably qualified person In day-to-day operation a grid connected inverter does not usually need to be shut down or disconnected. In the event you are required to shut down the inverter please Isolate the solar panel array Isolate the mains to the inverter Isolation of these power sources could be via switches, isolators...
fault finding Should the inverter appear to be malfunctioning we suggest the following to eliminate any external problems Turn the inverter OFF by switching the external DC & external AC isolators OFF. Leave OFF for 60 seconds. Turn on both inputs and the LCD should then turn on. After approximately 5 seconds the inverter should start its ‘grid check’...

Separate DC and AC wiring Avoid running DC and AC cables in the same conduits and/ or cable trenches. It is strongly recommended that DC and AC wiring be separated by the greatest distance possible. In extreme cases, the use of shielded conduit may be necessary. Minimise length of DC cabling DC cables can act as an aerial, therefore all such cables should be kept as short as is practicable.

Wi-Fi is not working Please go through the Wi-Fi connectivity procedure in the supplied “TG Series connectivity manual” that came with your inverter. No LCD or LEDs are being displayed There is no mains supply to the inverter. Please check solar main switch in your switch board is in the ‘ON’...
error messages When there is an error with the solar installation the front LEDs will glow red. To check what the error is go to the “Control status” page on the inverter. LCD is displaying grid out of range The mains voltage or frequency is not correct and needs to be checked by your solar installer or your local electricity distributor.
