Product Description Microinverter-based Grid-connected PV System System Introduction The microinverter-based grid-connected PV system is mainly composed of the PV modules, grid-connected PV microinverter ("microinverter"), communication and data acquisition de- vice (optional), monitoring platform, and power grid. The system structure is shown below. As an integral part of the PV power system, the microinverter converts the DC power gener- ated from the PV modules into the grid-compatible AC power and feeds it to the grid.
Given its high power generation efficiency and great safety performance, the microinverter has been widely applied in residential PV systems. The S2000S-SA is single-phase microinverter. Do not use them in three-phase systems. If the microinverter is connected across two phase lines (L-L, L-N), install a residual current device (RCD) between the trunk cable and the grid-connected distribution box.
User Manual 2 Product Description 2.3.1 Rooftop PV System In the rooftop PV system, up to 3 microinverters can be connected to one trunk cable. figure 2-2 Networking Diagram of Rooftop PV System Wi-Fi Extender (Optional) For rooftop PV systems requiring higher communication quality, in case the microinverter's Wi-Fi functionality cannot satisfy the requirements for system data communication, a Wi-Fi extender (optional) should be added at a proper position between the microinverter and the router.

2 Product Description User Manual Check the signal strength of the router's Wi-Fi in the network list. If the router's Wi-Fi network cannot be detected or the number of signal bars is ≤2, it is suggested to take the below actions: Move the router to a position closer to the microinverter, until the strength of the router's Wi-Fi reads >2 bars.

• Please consult SUNGROW before installing microinverters outdoors in areas prone to salt damage, which mainly are coastal areas within 500 meters of the coast. The sedi- mentation amount of salt spray is correlated to the characteristics of the seawater, sea winds, precipitation, air humidity, topography, and forest coverage in the adjacent sea areas, and there are substantial differences between different coastal areas.
• Avoid placing the device in direct sunlight. It is recommended to install it under the PV module. 4.1.4 PV Module Requirements S2000S-SA Recommended PV mod- 450 - 620 W ule power range Max. PV input voltage Max.
