INSTALLATION MANUAL MIG300 MICRO INVERTER
Lightning Surge Suppression
Lightning does not actually need to strike the equipment or building where the PV system is installed to
cause damage. Often, a strike nearby will induce voltage spikes in the electrical grid that can damage
equipment. Darfon’s micro inverters have integral surge protection; however, if the surge has sucient
energy, the built-in protection in the device would be exceeded and the device could potentially be
damaged. It is recommended to install surge protection as part of any solar installation. We recommend the
following protection devices, which have been tested to ensure that they do not interfere with power line
communications.
Residential: Vendor: Citel, Part Number DS72RS-120 or DS73RS-120
Application: DS72RS-120 is applied when N-G is bound together, or DS73RS-120
were N-G is unbound.
Commercial: Vendor: Citel, Part Number SP-120
Application: Branch panel protection
See the vendor datasheet for DS70R (includes the DS72RS-120) or SP-120 at
http://www.citelprotection.com/english/citel_data_sheets/ac_protection/

MIG300 MICRO INVERTER INSTALLATION MANUAL
PRE-INSTALLATION
Thank you for choosing Darfon’s MIG300 micro inverter as a key component to your solar power system.
Review and follow the instructions in this section before installing Darfon MIG300 micro inverters.
PV System Layout
The optimal PV array layout will need to be planned before installation. The layout/plan will aect the
wiring and cabling schemes and will need to be adjusted accordingly. The layout will also need to account
for the constraints of the distance between each PV module due to the connectors on the trunk cable and
the distance between the micro inverters and PLC box.
• The maximum cable distance from the PLC box to the farthest MIG300 is 50m (164’).
• It is ideal to tap power from the center of the circuit. So 2 segments of 12 modules for each circuit.
This maximizes the communication signal strength to the PLC box.
• The use of a RS485 specific cable is recommended, such as Belden 3105A; however, any twisted pair
cable can be used, such as CAT5, with some degradation of signal and distance.

MIG300 MICRO INVERTER INSTALLATION MANUAL
Grounding Options
Option 1: Integrated Grounding
Integrated grounding eliminates the need to install Grounding Electrode Conductor (GEC) to each MIG300
by completely isolating the internal DC circuit from the AC circuit and ground. DC ground faults are
detected on either the positive and/or negative conductors of the DC circuit by a Ground Fault Detection
Interrupter Insulation Monitor (GFDI IM). If the GFDI IM detects a ground fault has occurred to the PV
input, the micro inverter will automatically disconnect all conductors and cease supplying output power. In
accordance with NEC 690.35. Installers can build ungrounded arrays where only an Equipment Grounding
Conductor (EGC) is required to connect or bond non-current carrying metal equipment together. The EGC
grounding process is completed via the grounding connection of MIG300 4-wire AC cable to the AC trunk
cable. The PV module will still need to be grounded according to the module manufacturer’s instructions.
Option 2: GEC Grounding
Although the MIG300 oers integrated grounding (UL
1741 certified), it also comes with a grounding terminal
clip for any localities that do not accept integrated
grounding. Darfon will not be held responsible for
improper installations that do not have local AHJ and/or
Utility operational approval.
As indicated in the diagram below, the array GEC can be installed either in series or in parallel.

INSTALLING THE MICRO INVERTER
The following sections list steps on how to install the Darfon MIG300 micro inverter onto standard PV
racking.
Installing onto a PV Racking System
Step 1: Measure the AC Service at the Site
Measure service entrance conductors to confirm AC service
at the site. Verify that the AC voltages at the electrical utility
connection and at the junction box for each AC branch
circuit are within the ranges.
Step 2: Install the AC Branch Circuit Junction Box
2.1 Mount the adapter plate to a suitable location on the PV racking
system (typically at the end of a row of modules). The adapter
plate must be installed with an appropriate junction box.
2.2 Connect the open wire end of the AC interconnect cable into the
junction box using an appropriate gland or strain relief fitting. The AC
interconnect cable requires a strain relief connector with an opening
of 3/8 inches in diameter.
Step 3: Lay Out the AC Trunk Cable
Place the AC trunk cable at the required location. Align the T-branch connector to the position
where the micro inverter will be installed. Then secure the cable on either side of the rack using
cable clips or tie wraps.
Step 4: Attach the Micro Inverter to the PV Racking
4.1 Note the approximate centers of each PV
module on the PV racking.
4.2 Evaluate the location of the micro inverter
against potential collection of moisture or water.
4.3 Evaluate the location of the micro inverter with
respect to the DC junction box and the PV
module frame.
4.4 Align the MIG300 so that the holes on the
mounting bracket are above the slot opening on
the PV racking and secure the micro inverter to
the PV racking with screws.
CAUTION
Ensure that the inverter does not obstruct the PV module frame or stien braces.
Ensure the micro inverter’s AC connector can easily reach the T-branch connector.

Step 5: Ground the Micro Inverters
Option 1: Integrated Grounding. Go to step 6. No additional grounding is needed.
Option 2: GEC Grounding. Unscrew the top of grounding clips on the micro inverters. Run the grounding
electrode conductor to each grounding clip on the micro inverter and then to the junction box.
After laying out the grounding conductor, secure the top of the grounding clips back onto the
micro inverters.
WARNING
Correct AC grounding and short circuit protection
must be provided to ensure operational safety.
Step 6: Connect the Micro Inverters
6.1 Remove the temporary shipping cap from the t-branch on the AC trunk cable and connect the
micro inverter. Ensure the connection is secure and locked into place.
WARNING
Do not remove the shipping/dust-protection cap until
the MIG300 is ready to be installed to the trunk cable.
6.2 Repeat for all micro inverters in the AC branch circuit.
6.3 For any unused connectors on the AC trunk cable, replace the temporary shipping cap with a
Sealing Cap. Listen for a click as the Sealing Cap is connected to ensure that it is securely locked
into place.

INSTALLATION MANUAL MIG300 MICRO INVERTER
Step 7: Terminate the Unused End of the AC Trunk Cable
7.1 Strip 10mm (about 0.5in) of the outer sheath from the end of the AC trunk cable.
7.2 Each end cap has four parts: the sealing nut, clamp ring, seal and cap. Slide the sealing nut, clamp
ring and then the seal onto the AC trunk cable.
7.3 Insert the individual wires into the slots inside the cap of the end cap.
7.4 Screw the hex nut onto the cap. Use a wrench to ensure the hex nut is screwed in all the way to
the base of the cap.
WARNING
Ensure the AC trunk cable and end cap do not touch the roof by using
cable clips or tie wraps to attach the trunk cable to the PV racking. Ensure
that all cabling is located underneath the PV module.
Step 8: Connect the AC Junction Box
Connect the AC trunk cable to the AC junction box using the appropriate gland or strain relief fitting. The
AC trunk cable requires a strain relief connector with an opening of 1.6 cm (0.6 in) in diameter.
The wires in the AC trunk cable are identified by color: L1 is sheathed in Black, L2 is sheathed in Red,
Neutral is sheathed in White and Ground is sheathed in Green.
WARNING
Although the AC trunk cable includes a grounding wire, the continuous
grounding conductor or grounding washers is still required.
Step 9: Connect the PV Modules
Mount the PV modules above the micro inverters, and then connect each micro inverter to a PV module.
(The micro inverter and PV module’s DC cables have two connectors. Connect the micro inverter positive
connector to the PV module negative connector, and vice versa.)
CAUTION
Micro inverters and PV modules are installed using a one to one ratio.
