Accessories

• Accessories are not included in the package and can be purchased separately.
  Note: For 1 microinverter, use AC Extension Cable Plug. Create an Installation Map
  a. Download the installation map with this QR code and print out the map.

Installation Map
b. Stick the serial number label from each microinverter to the installation map on the respective locations of the array.
c. Keep a copy of the map for future reference.
Installation Steps
Installation could only be implemented when the system is disconnected from the grid, and the solar panel has been covered or disconnected.
Step 1. Verify the voltage range Verify the grid and PV panel voltages are within the microinverter voltage range.
Step 2. Mount microinverters
Mark out the estimated center of 4 PV modules on the rack to mount the microinverter. Mount all microinverters under modules to avoid rain and sun. Make sure you can see the LED light.
Note: Please make sure that there are less than 2 units of EVT1800SE/EVT2000SE or less than 3 units of EVT1600SE in each branch (12AWG). The maximum number per 10 AWG branch is 3 for EVT1800SE/EVT2000SE or 4 for EVT1600SE.

Step 3. Ground the system
Microinverters and modules must be connected to the ground. Fix the screws to the microinverter nstallation hole. Make sure that the grounding screw thread is firmly connected the bracket. Step 4. Install the Wi-Fi antenna
Rotate the antenna clockwise until it is firmly secured to the microinverter. Step 5. Connect to the grid
a. Connect one microinverter in the system.

1. Connect the AC connector of the micro inverter to the female connector of the AC extension cable plug, then insert the plug into the socket. b. Connect multiple microinverters in the system.

1. Connect the trunk cable with T-connector Plan each cable segment to allow T- connectors on the trunk cable to align with each PV module. Allow extra length for slack, cable turns, and any obstructions.

2. Connect to the trunk cable Connect the male AC connector to the BC01BC05 converter. Connect the BC01-BC05 converter to the T-connector of the trunk cable.

3. Fasten cables
   Fasten AC cables and trunk cables to the rack with cable ties.

4. Cover any unused connector with end caps Insert the end cap into the connector on the unused end, and check if it is inserted in place.

5.  Remove the skin of the two ends of the ex- tension cable by y=40mm and remove the skin of internal wires by x=14mm. Set the metal terminals onto the open parts and clamp them to tighten the connection;

6. Connect the other side of the extension cable to the air switch.

Step 6. Connect PV modules to microinverters Connect each PV module with the DC input cables of the microinverter.

Step 7. Switch on the PV system
Ensure all connection is completed. Turn on theair switch. In a short time, you shall see the signal light blinking in green. Step 8. (Optional) For the monitoring device (EnverBridge) installation, scan this QR code.

Wi-Fi Configuration
Note: Please position the microinverter as close as possible to the router.
The microinverter has built-in Wi-Fi modular and can be connected the router directly.
Scan the QR code below or search for EnverView on your app store to download.

https://qr20.cn/FLJwpk

a. Open EnverView and click Wi-Fi. Select EVT.

b. Select a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network, and return to the app. Enter Wi-Fi password. Allow EnverView to use your location, or you will fail to configure the Wi- Fi. Note:

1. Ensure that the Wi-Fi name do not contain , ; = or other special characters.
2. Check the Wi-Fi password, including spaces and special characters.
3. Ensure the Wi-Fi your phone connected to is 2.4GHz, and the connection between the router and the Internet is in good condition.
   c. Connect the network of the same name as your EVT’s SN. Return to the app. Allow EnverView to access your local network. If not, it will cause configuration failure.

Note: When configuring Wi-Fi, make sure you keep staying on the current network. d. Click Configuration and wait for success. Note: If the setting is not successful, wait for 5 more seconds. Click Configuration again and check that the microinverter is as close to the router as possible.

 Microinverter Safety

*DANGER:* Risk of electric shock. Do not attempt to repair the Envertech Microinverter by yourself; it contains no user-serviceable parts. If the microinverter fails, contact your distributor or Envertech customer service to obtain an RMA (return merchandise authorization) number and get the replacement. Tampering with or opening the Envertech Microinverter will void the warranty.
DANGER: Risk of fire. The DC conductors of the PV module must be labeled “PV Wire” or “PV Cable” when paired with the Envertech Microinverter.
WARNING: Make sure the DC operating voltage range of the PV module is within the allowable input voltage range of the Envertech Microinverter.
WARNING: The maximum open circuit voltage of the PV module must not exceed the specified maximum input DC voltage of the Envertech Microinverter. Using electrically incompatible PV module voids Envertech’s warranty.
WARNING: Risk of equipment damage. Install the microinverter under the PV module to avoid direct exposure to rain, UV, and other harmful weather events. Do not mount the microinverter upside down. Do not expose the AC or DC connectors to rain or condensation before mating the connectors.
WARNING: Risk of equipment damage. The Envertech Microinverter is not protected from damage due to moisture trapped in the cabling systems. Never mate microinverters to cables that have been left disconnected and exposed to wet conditions. This will void the Envertech warranty.
WARNING: Risk of equipment damage. The Envertech Microinverter functions only with a standard, compatible PV module with appropriate fill-factor, voltage, and current ratings. Unsupported devices include smart PV modules, fuel cells, wind or water turbines, DC generators, and non-Envertech batteries, etc. These devices do not behave like standard PV modules, so operation
and compliance are not guaranteed. These devices may also damage the Envertech Microinverter by exceeding its electrical rating, making the system potentially unsafe.
WARNING:* Risk of skin burn. The chassis of the Envertech Microinverter is the heat sink. Under normal operating conditions, the temperature could be 20°C above ambient, but under extreme conditions, the microinverter can reach a temperature of 90°C.
To reduce the risk of burns, use caution when working with microinverters. Note: Please do not violate the following content, otherwise the warranty will be invalid.

1. Ensure that the microinverter is properly grounded during installation.
2. It is prohibited to connect more than one photovoltaic panel to a DC connector.
3. It is prohibited to use batteries and energy storage products that have not been officially paired by Envertech.
