  • Page 6: Section 4: Installation Location And System Layout

    Section 4 Installation Location and System Layout It is highly advisable to carefully decide on a mounting location and system layout and discuss this layout with homeowners prior to arrival at the jobsite. Achieving a “clean” installation involves careful planning of not just where the battery backup system components are located, but also how conduit will be run to connect them.
  • Page 7 Minimum mounting clearances for inverter, and between battery stacks are shown in the figure below. "Another system" refers to an additional inverter. Sol-Ark 8K and 12K Spacing Sol-Ark 15K Spacing Minimum spacing between parallel battery stacks: 36" Care should be taken to consider space for conduit and cabling. If mounting the system to a wall that uses structural studs, it is helpful to use a stud finder and mark their locations.

  • Page 8: Section 5: Overview Of The Installation Process

    Section 5 Overview of the Installation Process After determining a system location, it can be helpful to create a wall layout using masking tape to mark equipment positions and mounting bracket locations. Installation of the battery backup system generally proceeds through the following stages: The inverter bracket and inverter are mounted to the wall 2.

  • Page 10 3. Installing the 6.6 Battery Modules Prior to stacking the battery modules on the base, remove all four of the rear shoulder screws on each module and set them aside to be used to secure the battery modules to the wall brackets. Use the folding handles to lift the battery module onto the base, using the alignment tabs to guide it into position.
