2 Installation
WARNING: Before installing the PVI 1800/PVI 2500, read all instructions and caution
markings in this manual and on the PVI 1800/PVI 2500 as well as on the photovoltaic
modules.
WARNING: Electrical installation shall be done in accordance with all local electrical
codes and the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70.
WARNING: Connecting the PVI 1800/PVI 2500 to the electric utility grid must only be
done after receiving prior approval from the utility company and installation completed only
by qualified personnel/licensed electrician(s).
2.1 Checking for Shipping Damage
The PVI 1800/PVI 2500 inverters are thoroughly checked and tested rigorously before they are shipped.
Even though they are delivered in a rugged, heavy cardboard box, the inverters can be damaged in
shipping which is typically the fault of the shipping company.
Please inspect the inverter thoroughly after it is delivered. If any damage is seen please immediately
notify the shipping company. If there is any question about potential shipping damage, contact Solectria
Renewables. A photo of the damage may be helpful.
Do not accept unit if visibly damaged or note visible damage when signing shipping company receipt.
Report damage immediately to the shipping company. Do not remove the unit from packaging. If it is
determined that the unit must be returned, an RMA# must be obtained from Solectria Renewables.
2.2 Inverter Mounting
The PVI 1800/PVI 2500 inverter is made up of a sealed NEMA 4 /IP65 corrosion resistant aluminum
enclosure containing all electrical and electronic components.
NOTE: If the PVI 1800/PVI 2500 is mounted outside, make sure the mounting & wiring is
completed, at least to the AC and DC disconnects or junction box(es) in case of rain during
the installation process (for example overnight rain). Since the AC and DC connections are
wired to the disconnects and or junction box(es) only, there is no need to open the inverter
enclosure during hook-up. The inverter enclosure is factory sealed and must NOT be opened
at any time in the field or the NEMA4, IP65 seal will be compromised and this will void the
warranty.
