• The foundation should be built in compliance with the foundation drawing provided, or approved, by SUNGROW. The tolerance for the upper surface of the foundation is ±5mm. • The foundation should provide sufficient and effective support for the equipment.
2 Mechanical Installation Quick Installation Manual • Build a cement foundation with sufficient cross-sectional area and height. The founda- tion height should be determined by the constructor based on the on-site geological conditions. • Take cable laying into consideration when building the foundation. In the process of foundation building, remove the muck immediately after exca- vation, to avoid affecting the hoist and transport of the equipment.

3 Electrical Connection Quick Installation Manual Overview Grounding can be made in the following two ways: welding a grounding flat steel, or con- necting a grounding cable. For the location of the grounding point, see “ESS External Design”. 用户现场安装的设备(如无线路由器)需要就近接地。 Grounding Flat Steel (Recommended) Remove the protective tape from the grounding point and weld the hot-dip galvanized flat steel to the grounding point (the area where the flat steel and the ESS are joined together should be 40mm x 70mm).
Quick Installation Manual 3 Electrical Connection Carry out external ground connection in compliance with the actual on-site conditions and the instructions by the plant staff. Measure the ground resistance after completing the grounding. Make sure the resistance does not exceed 4Ω. The specific ground resistance should comply with the applicable national/local standards and regulations.
