Ensure that the open-circuit voltage does not exceed the inverter’s maximum input limit of 1500V in any case. Step 3: Remove the protective covers of the DC connectors on the inverter that need to be connected to the PV strings. (Note: Please keep the protective covers of the connectors that do not need to be wired.) Step 4: Insert the connector of the PV string into the corresponding DC terminal of the inverter until you hear a "click"... -
