    It is strictly prohibited to hand carry the microinverter by its AC cable. 4.3.3 Step 3 - Attach the APsystems Microinverters to the Racking a. Mark the location of the microinverter on the rack, with respect to the PV module junction box or any other obstructions.
  • Page 11: Step 4 - Ground The System

    The racking must be properly grounded as per local electrical code. 4.3.4 Step 4 - Ground the system There're 2 ways to ground the QT2-AU series microinverters. 1. By grounding washer attached. After the microinverters and racking are reliably installed, the microinverter's grounding washer can connect to the racking to ensure proper earthing.
