2 Installation Requirements

3 Installing a Solar Inverter

NOTE

• M12x40 bolt assemblies are supplied with the solar inverter. If the bolt length does not meet the installation requirements, prepare M12 bolt assemblies by yourself and use them together with the supplied M12 nuts.
• This quick guide describes how to install a solar inverter on a support. For details about wall mounted installation, see the user manual.
• For models used in Australia, install the DC switch locking screw according to local standards. The DC switch locking screw is delivered with the solar inverter to prevent the solar inverter from being started by mistake.
• Before installing the mounting bracket, remove the security Torx wrench and set it aside.

NOTICE
Secure the screws on the sides before connecting cables.

4 Connecting Cables

4.1 Preparations

NOTICE

• Connect cables in accordance with local installation laws and regulations.
• The cable specifications must comply with local standards.
• Before connecting cables, ensure that the DC switch of the solar inverter and all the switches connected to it are set to OFF. Otherwise, the high voltage produced by the solar inverter may cause electric shocks.

4.2 Connecting a PE Cable

4.3 Installing the AC Output Power Cable

NOTICE

• Use a socket wrench and extension rod to connect the AC power cable. The extension rod must be longer than 100 mm.
• Sufficient slack should be provided in the PE cable to ensure that the last cable bearing the force is the PE cable when the AC output power cable bears pulling force due to force majeure.
• Do not install third-party devices in the AC connection box.
• You need to prepare M8 OT terminals by yourself.

1. Remove the AC terminal box and install partition boards.

2. Connect the AC output power cable (using a five-core cable as an example).

NOTE

• To avoid damaging the rubber liner, do not route a cable with a crimped OT terminal directly through it.
• It is recommended that the length of the PE cable to be stripped be 15 mm longer than the length of other cables.
• The cable colors in figures are for reference only. Select appropriate cables according to the local standards.

4.4 Installing DC Input Power Cables

NOTICE

1. Use the positive and negative Staubli MC4 metal terminals and DC connectors supplied with the solar inverter. Using incompatible positive and negative metal terminals and DC connectors may result in serious consequences. The caused device damage is not covered under any warranty.

2. You are advised to use the PV-CZM-22100 (Staubli) crimping tool and do not use it with the positioning block. Otherwise, the metal terminals may be damaged. The PV-MS (Staubli) or PV-MS-HZ (Staubli) open-end wrench is recommended.

3. Ensure that the PV module output is well insulated to ground.

4. The DC input voltage of the SUN2000-29.9KTL /30KTL / 36KTL/40KTL-M3 shall not exceed 1100 V DC under any circumstance.

5. The DC input voltage of the SUN2000-20KTL-M3 shall not exceed 800 V DC under any circumstance.

6. Before installing DC input power cables, label the cable polarities to ensure correct cable connections.

7. If a DC input power cable is reversely connected and the DC switch is turned on, do not operate on the DC switch or the positive/negative connectors immediately. Otherwise, the device may be damaged. The caused device damage is not covered under any warranty. Wait until the night when solar irradiance declines and the PV string current drops to below 0.5 A.
   Then set the DC switch to the OFF position, remove the positive and negative connectors, and correct the polarity of the DC input power cable.

8. If the SUN2000 is used with an optimizer, the number of optimizers for a single PV string cannot exceed 25.

9. If the PV string is configured with an optimizer, check the cable polarity by referring to the smart PV optimizer quick guide.

1. Connect the DC power cables.

4.5 (Optional) Installing the Smart Dongle

NOTICE

• The Smart Dongle is not provided in standard configuration.
• For details about how to operate the WLAN-FE Smart Dongle SDongleA-05, see SDongleA05 Quick Guide (WLAN-FE).
• For details about how to operate the 4G Smart Dongle SDongleA-03, see SDongleA-03 Quick Guide (4G).
• The quick guide is delivered with the Smart Dongle or can be obtained by scanning the QR codes.

4.6 Installing the Signal Cable

NOTICE

• When laying out the signal cable, separate it from the power cable and keep it away from strong interference sources to avoid strong communication interference.
• Ensure that the protective layer of the cable is inside the connector, that excess core wires are cut off from the protection layer, that the exposed core wire is totally inserted into the cable hole, and that the cable is connected securely.

Scenarios Where No Signal Cable Is Connected

NOTICE

If no signal cable is required for the SUN2000, use waterproof plugs to block the wiring holes on the signal cable connector and connect the signal cable connector to the communications port on the SUN2000 to improve the waterproof performance of the SUN2000.

5 Verifying the Installation

6 System Power-On

NOTICE

Before turning on the AC switch between the solar inverter and the power grid, check that the AC voltage is within the specified range using a Multimeter set to the AC position.

1. Turn on the AC switch between the solar inverter and the power grid.

2. (Optional) Remove the locking screw beside the DC switch. Store the screws properly for future power-off maintenance.
   

3. Turn on the DC switch at the bottom of the solar inverter.

4. Observe the LED indicators to check the operating status of the solar inverter.

7 System Commissioning

NOTE

• If the solar inverter is connected to the FusionSolar smart PV management system, the FusionSolar app is recommended. In areas (such as the UK) where the FusionSolar app is not available, or when a third-party management system is used, only the SUN2000 app can be used for commissioning.
• Access the Huawei app store (http://appstore.huawei.com), search for FusionSolar or SUN2000, and download the app installation package. You can also scan the QR codes below to download the apps.
