sections for detailed.
- Inverter Location (Page 5)
- Installing Solar Power Inverter (Page 6)
- Wiring Solar Power Inverter (Page 9)
Preparing for the Installation
Ensure your electricity provider is consulted for any requirements for connecting to or returning power to the grid. Obtain
all permits necessary to complete the installation. Consult your local and national electrical codes for more information.
Inverter Location
The solar power inverter should be installed outdoors except near salt water*. Installation of this device in an improper
location may cause smoke or fire danger. Also refer to the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS section on page 1.
For best performance, the inverter should be installed in a cool shady area.
Do not install the solar power inverter in a location:
• Higher than the altitude of about 2,000 m above sea level
• Close to corrosive gas or liquid
• Near salt water*
• Exposed to direct sunlight
• Prone to flooding or high levels of snow pack
• Minimal or no air flow, high humidity or condensation
• Near television antenna or antenna cable
* Salt water: area near the ocean or sea, or less than 0.3 miles from the ocean or sea.
Fire Safety
Do not install anywhere near combustible or flammable materials.
Indoor/Outdoor Orientation
The inverter uses a Type IP65-rated enclosure that can be mounted indoors or outdoors.
The inverter must be mounted vertically on a wall or pole.
Do not mount the inverter horizontally.
Temperature
Ensure that the inverter is mounted in a location where the ambient temperature range is -20°C to +60°C. When the
temperature is over +40°C, the inverter may de-rate power.
