User Manual 1.2 Storage WARNING The storage environment of the string inverter must meet the corresponding requirements. Please refer to 2.10 Ambient Requirements. About long-term storage: Before or after the installation and commissioning, if the string inverter is in the no-power supply state for more than three weeks, it is regarded as long-term storage.
1 Safety Precautions 1.4 Operation DANGER During the operation of the string inverter, it is necessary to ensure that the door panel of the string inverter is locked to prevent personal injury such as electric shock, and to prevent salt, moisture, dust or other conductive substances in the air from entering the string inverter.
2.1 Product Introduction The HSNV series is three-phase grid-connected PV inverter independently researched and developed by Hopewind. Its main function is to convert the DC power generated by the PV string into AC power and feed it into the power grid.
User Manual Working mode Description Standby mode mainly means that the external environment does not meet the operating conditions of the inverter such as insufficient sunlight and the disconnection of DC input switch. In this mode, the inverter continuously self-tests Standby and enters the operating mode once the operating conditions are met.
