Notice
The inverters are designed and tested strictly complies with related safety
rules. Read and follow all the safety instructions and cautions before any
operations. Improper operation might cause personal injury or property damage
as the inverters are electrical equipment.
General Safety
Notice
· The information in this document is subject to change due to product updates
or other reasons. This manual cannot replace the product labels or the safety
precaution unless otherwise specified. All descriptions here are for guidance
only.
· Before installations, read through the user manual to learn about the
product and the precautions.
· All installations should be performed by trained and knowledgeable
technicians who are familiar with local standards and safety regulations.
· Use insulating tools and wear personal protective equipment when operating
the equipment to ensure personal safety. Wear anti-static gloves, cloths, and
wrist strips when touching electron devices to protect the inverter from
damage.
· Strictly follow the installation, operation, and configuration instructions
in this manual. The manufacturer shall not be liable for equipment damage or
personal injury if you do not follow the instructions. For more warranty
details, visit www.gesolarinverter.com.
22 DC Side
DANGER
Connect the DC cables using the delivered DC connectors and terminals. The
manufacturer shall not be liable for the equipment damage if other connectors
or terminals are used.
WARNING
· Ensure the component frames and the bracket system are securely grounded. ·
Ensure the DC cables are connected tightly and securely. · Measure the DC
cable using the multimeter to avoid reverse polarity connection. Also, the
voltage should be under the permissible range. · The PV modules used with the
inverter must have an IEC61730 class A rating. · If there are more than 3 PV
strings on input side, an additional fuse installation will be
suggested. · When exposed to sunlight, the PV array will generate very high
voltage which can cause
electrical shock hazard. Please strictly follow the instruction we provided.
User Manual V1.1-2022-08-01
23 AC Side
WARNING The voltage and frequency at the connecting point should meet the on-
grid requirements. An additional protective device like the circuit breaker or
fuse is recommended on the AC side. Specification of the protective device
should be at least 1.25 times the AC output rated current. PE cable of the
inverter must be connected firmly. The resistance between the neutral wire and
the earth cable is less than 10. You are recommended to use copper cables as
AC output cables. Contact the manufacturer if you want to use other cables.
24 Inverter Installation
DANGER · Terminals at the bottom of the inverter cannot bear much load.

522 Installing the Inverter
NOTICE
· Avoid the water pipes and cables buried in the wall when drilling holes. ·
Wear goggles and a dust mask to prevent the dust from being inhaled or
contacting eyes
when drilling holes. · The anti-theft lock of appropriate size should be
prepared by customers. Diameter of the
lock hole is 10mm. · Make sure that all the DC input terminals are inside the
PV box when installing the box.
Install the box cling to the bottom of the inverter.
Step 1 Put the mounting plate on the wall horizontally and mark positions for drilling holes. Step 2 Drill holes to a depth of 80mm using the hammer drill. The diameter of the drill bit should be 10mm. Step 3 Secure the mounting plate using the expansion bolts. Step 4 Install the inverter on the mounting plate. Step 5 Tighten the nuts to secure the mounting plate and the inverter. Step 6 Install the anti-theft lock. Step 7 (For Australia only) Install the PV box and the PV box mounting plate together using the delivered M5 screws. Step 8 (For Australia only) Drill holes to a depth of 60mm using the hammer drill.

Safety Precautions
DANGER
· Disconnect the DC switch and the AC output switch of the inverter to power
off the equipment before any electrical connections. Do not work with power
on. Otherwise, an electric shock may occur.
· Perform electrical connections in compliance with local laws and
regulations. Including operations, cables, and component specifications.
· If the tension is too large, the cable may be poorly connected. Reserve a
certain length of the cable before connecting it to the inverter cable port.
NOTICE
· Wear personal protective equipment like safety shoes, safety gloves, and
insulating gloves during electrical connections.
· All electrical connections should be performed by qualified professionals. ·
Cable colors in this document are for reference only. The cable specifications
should meet
local laws and regulations.
62 Connecting the PE Cable
WARNING
· The PE cable connected to the enclosure of the inverter cannot replace the
PE cable connected to the AC output port. Both of the two PE cables must be
securely connected.
· Make sure that all the grounding points on the enclosures are equipotential
connected when there are multiple inverters.
· To improve the corrosion resistance of the terminal, it is recommended to
apply silica gel or paint on the ground terminal after installing the PE
cable.
· The PE cable should be prepared by customers. Recommended specifications: ·
Type: single-core outdoor copper cable · Conductor cross-sectional area: 4mm2

the inverter. Otherwise, the inverter may be damaged permanently or even cause
fire and cause personal and property losses. 1. Make sure that the max short
circuit current and the max input voltage per MPPT are within
the permissible range. 2. Make sure that the positive pole of the PV string
connects to the PV+ of the inverter. And the
negative pole of the PV string connects to the PV- of the inverter. 3. The
minimum impedance to earth of the PV module shall be greater than R.
R=Max.Input
Voltage (V)/30mA, i.e. R=1100V/30mA=36.7K or R=1000V/30mA=33.4K).
WARNING · Connect the DC cables using the delivered PV connectors. The
manufacturer shall not be
liable for the damage if other connectors are used. · The PV strings cannot be
grounded. Ensure the minimum isolation resistance of the PV string
to the ground meets the minimum isolation resistance requirements before
connecting the PV string to the inverter. · The DC input cable should be
prepared by customers. Recommended specifications: · Type: the outdoor
photovoltaic cable that meets the maximum input voltage. · Conductor cross-
sectional area: 2.5~4mm2

Power Off the Inverter
Product Introduction
· Power off the inverter before operations and maintenance. Otherwise, the
inverter may be damaged or electric shocks may occur.
· Delayed discharge. Wait until the components are discharged after power off.
Step 1 (optional) Send shutdown command to the inverter, Step 2 Turn off the
AC switch between the inverter and the utility grid. Step 3 Turn off the DC
switch of the inverter. Step 4 (optional) Turn off the DC switch between the
inverter and the PV string.
92 Removing the Inverter
WARNING · Make sure that the inverter is powered off. · Wear proper PPE before
any operations.
Step 1 Disconnect all the cables, including DC cables, AC cables,
communication cables, the communication module, and PE cables. Step 2 Remove
the inverter from the mounting plate. Step 3 Remove the mounting plate. Step 4
Store the inverter properly. If the inverter needs to be used later, ensure
that the storage conditions meet the requirements.
93 Disposing of the Inverter
If the inverter cannot work any more, dispose of it according to the local
disposal requirements for electrical equipment waste. Do not dispose of it as
household waste.

Perform troubleshooting according to the following methods. Contact the after-
sales service if these methods do not work. Collect the information below
before contacting the after-sales service, so tha the problems can be solved
quickly. 1. Inverter information like serial number, software version,
installation date, fault time, fault
frequency, etc. 2. Installation environment, including weather conditions,
whether the PV modules are
sheltered or shadowed, etc. It is recommended to provide some photos and
videos to assist in analyzing the problem. 3. Utility grid situation.

The utility grid voltage is out of the allowed range.
1. Make sure that the grid voltage is within the allowed range.
2. Make sure that the phase sequence of the AC cables are connected

2. Make sure that the grid frequency is within the allowed range.
3. Make sure that the phase sequence of the AC cables are connected
correctly, and the neutral wire and PE cable are connected properly and
firmly.
4. Pay attention to the frequency of the fault. If it happens occasionally,
the fault may be caused by the instantaneous utility grid frequency change and
does not need to be handled.
