Installation Precautions

Note: The device must be installed according to the following system design requirements

Installation of Microinverter:

  • Ensure the mechanical compatibility of the microinverter DC connector with its connected PV module connector.
  • Installing a microinverter without ensuring that the module connector is compatible with the microinverter DC connector is unsafe and can cause functional problems such as a ground failure that can shut down the microinverters. When installing, disconnect the device from the power grid (disconnect the isolation switch), and shield or isolate the photovoltaic
  • Ensure that the mounting surface or structure can support the weight of the microinverter and bracket, and ensure that its width exceeds the bracket width.
  • Install the microinverter using the existing holes, do not drill any additional holes in the inverter.
  • Drilling holes in the frame of a microinverter may void the warranty. Consult the microinverter manufacturer before drilling holes.
  • A hole in the frame of a microinverter may reduce its structural strength or cause damage to it, and the specific location of the hole needs to be evaluated and confirmed by the manufacturers.
  • Do not use a percussion drill to install a microinverter. Drilling vibration may damage the micro inverter and void the warranty.
  • Use a torque wrench or a drill with an adjustable clutch that meets mounting torque requirements.

AC Accessories Installation:

  • Refer to the Technical Specification to ensure that the environmental conditions fit the requirements of the microinverter (degree of protection, temperature, humidity, altitude, etc.)
  • Installation of the microinverters is carried out based on the system design provided by installers
  • To avoid overheating, always make sure that the air flow around the microinverter is not blocked.
  • Do not install in places where gases or flammable substances may be present and avoid electromagnetic interferenc e that can compromise the correct operation of electronic equipment 。
  • To avoid muscle strains or back injuries, use the appropriate lifting equipment to deliver the microinverters, and use lifting AIDS when needed.

AC System Installation Diagram
As shown in the following wiring diagram, in the AC module system, the micro inverter is installed on the photovoltaic module bracket.
