installed with a sideways tilt. The connection area must point downwards. Refer to Figure 3.3-1. Figure 3.3-1 In order to achieve optimal performance, the ambient temperature should be lower than 45 °C. For the convenience of checking the LED lights and possible maintenance activities, please install the inverter at eye level.

Check the short-circuit current of the PV string. The total short-circuit current must not exceed the inverter’s maximum PV current. PV array should not be connected to the grounding conductor. Must be use PV plugs in accessory bag. The minimum array insulation resistance to ground that system designer or installer must meet when selecting the PV panel and system design, based on the minimum value that the design of the PV functional grounding in the inverter was based on.

This will ensure the inverter can be securely disconnected during maintenance. Be aware of electric shock and chemical hazards! It is a normal phenomenon that electric arc occurs when connecting battery to the inverter without use a DC breaker.
