PACKING LIST

The items listed below will arrive with the product shipment:
EG4 WallMount Indoor 280Ah

EG4-Wallmount-Indoor-280Ah-Lithium-Battery- \(2\)

EG4-Wallmount-Indoor-280Ah-Lithium-Battery- \(2\) LOCATION SELECTION AND INSTALLATION
Requirements for installation location:

  • The WallMount Indoor battery is heavy. Use a lift or other equipment to lift and carry the unit.
  • The battery can be installed against a flat wall, but the weight of the battery should not be fully supported by the wall. To help with this requirement, the battery comes with pre-installed feet that should be used to carry the weight of the battery.
  • If the battery is installed against a wall, the wall should be made of non-combustible material. If this is not possible, then the unit MUST have a minimum of 2 in. (50.8mm) clearance from the wall. Also note that whatever mounting solution that is used to grant the 2 in. clearance from the wall MUST be made of a non-combustible material.
  • If installing on flat ground as a standalone unit, ensure there is proper drainage on the ground surrounding the battery to maintain integrity of the module over time and prevent damage from flooding. If installing against a wall, ensure at least a 12 in. (305mm) gap on each side of the unit for adequate airflow and operations.
  • Ensure the battery is mounted upright.

NOTE: The battery will be shipped with temporary lifting handles for removing the battery from its packaging. The battery is very heavy. Use the team-lift technique during installation and remove the temporary lifting handles before making any connections within the system.

PARALLEL EXAMPLES

The diagrams below show different parallel orientations. These diagrams are for reference only!

BATTERY CABLE CONNECTIONS
The following battery cable connection diagrams are examples using the internal busbars to parallel the batteries together and attach the inverter(s) to the batteries. When relying on the internal busbars, up to 3 batteries are supported in parallel when connected to a single inverter, 4 batteries in parallel when connected to 2 inverters, or up to 5 batteries in parallel when connected to 3 inverters.
Systems with more batteries than these configurations require the use of an external fused positive busbar and an unfused negative busbar rated at a minimum of 200A per battery. Each fuse should be a maximum of 250A. Alternatively, larger systems could rely on the 18kPV’s ability to draw from different battery packs while still paralleling inverters rather than utilizing external busbars.

The maximum recommended number of paralleled 18kPV inverters is 6. If this approach is used, we recommend a ratio of 2 batteries per pack controlled by each 18kPV inverter. Separating packs is only recommended if each pack’s average SOC is monitored over time and does not diverge by more than 10%. Common busbars are superior to separating battery packs but it may be difficult to source fused positive busbars rated to greater than 1800 Amps. This translates into separating packs larger than 9 batteries. Refer to NEC code and the local AHJ for exact requirements.

NOTE: In the following diagrams, units are spaced 12 in. apart. Local regulations may require a larger minimum battery spacing. Check with the local AHJ for these requirements. If longer parallel cables than are available in the optional paralleling kit are necessary, please check with the distributor for availability.

Note: To comply with the UL9540 listing for this integrated battery, conduit box, and inverter system, the batteries must be wired as shown using the supplied inverter to battery cables. An additional paralleling kit is required for each additional paralleled battery (sold separately).
Caution: To minimize voltage drop in the wire, the battery cables should maintain optimum length. The 53.1 in. cables from the “parallel kit” are sufficient to daisy chain the batteries.
