2
EVERVOLT Hybrid inverter is a transformerless type without galvanic isolation. It is
designed and certified to fulfill the directives of ANSI/NFPA 70, NEC 690.41, UL 1741,
UL 1741 SA17 & SA18, IEEE 1547 and IEEE 1547.1. The inverter converts the DC power
generated by PV strings into AC power and stores the energy into the battery bank or
feeds the power into the power grid.
With the device, you have acquired the system that can be used to power critical loads
during a grid outage by using a battery and realize automatic transfer from grid
connection mode to off grid mode or from off grid mode to grid connection model by
using Smart Box (EV-SB). The inverter also has the ability to use power generated
from PV arrays along with other string inverter.
EVERVOLT Hybrid Inverter
The EVERVOLT Hybrid inverter manages battery and system energy.
PV Array
A PV array works in MPPT mode.
For 7.6 kW inverter, there can be a maximum of three PV strings.
RSD
The RSD provides an automatic disconnect of residential or small commercial PV
systems, fully compliant with the rapid shutdown requirements of National Electric
Code (NEC), ANSI / NFPA 70 Sections 690.12.
Battery
The EVERVOLT Hybrid inverter should be coupled with a high voltage battery.
The battery communicates with inverter via BMS and must comply with the specification
of UL 1973.
SmartBox
The SmartBox supports multi-inverter parallel connection, controls disconnection
of house loads from the grid in case of a power outage and integrates the energy
meter, microgrid interconnection device and generator to enable grid-tied solar backup.
myEVERVOLT application
myEVERVOLT application is an intelligent, multifunctional monitoring platform that can be
accessed either remotely or through a hard wired connection. With the myEVERVOLT
application, the operators and installers can always view key and up to date data.

This manual contains important instructions for EVERVOLT Hybrid Inverter
that should be followed during installation and maintenance for the
inverter.
2.1 General Safety Instructions
EVERVOLT Hybrid Inverter is designed and tested to meet all applicable
North American safety standards. However, like all electrical and electronic
equipment, safety precautions must be observed and followed during installation
and operation of the EVERVOLT Hybrid Inverter to reduce the risk of personal
injury and to ensure a safe installation.
Installation, commissioning, service, and maintenance of EVERVOLT Hybrid
Inverter must only be performed by certified installer that are licensed and /
or satisfy state and local jurisdiction regulations.
Before starting installation or commissioning, read the entire manual carefully to
ensure correct and safe installation or commissioning. And keep the user manual
in a safe place.
All US electrical installations must comply and be in accordance with all the state,
local, utility regulations, and National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70.

EVHB series only supports a certain type of lithium-ion battery
(Manufacturer certified battery)!
CAUTION!
Do not expose system to ambient temperatures above 140° F (60° C)
or below -13° F (-25° C).
WARNING!
Do not install the system in a corrosive environment where it may be
exposed to ammonia, corrosive gases, acids, or salts (eg: chemical
plant, fertilizer storage areas, tanneries, near volcanic ash eruption).
WARNING!
Safety Safety
Do not disassemble any parts of the product which are not
mentioned in the installation guide. It contains no user-serviceable
parts. See warranty for instructions on obtaining service. Attempting
to service the device by yourself may result in a risk of electric shock
or fire and will void your warranty.
WARNING!
Do not operate the device when the device is running.
WARNING!
CAUTION!
Only accessories shipped with the product are recommended to use.
Using other accessories may void warranty.
CAUTION!
Possible damage to health as a result of the effects of radiation!
Do not stay closer than 7.87 in / 20 cm to system for a long time.
CAUTION!
Danger of burn injuries due to hot enclosure parts!
During operation, the enclosure may become hot.
CAUTION!
Risk of electric shock from energy stored in the capacitor.
Never operate on the inverter couplers, the Mains cables, battery
cables, and PV cables when power is applied. After switching off the PV,
battery and Mains, always wait for 5 minutes to fully discharge the
intermediate circuit capacitors discharge before unplugging DC, battery
and Mains couplers.

WARNING!
Do not attempt to open, disassemble, repair, tamper with or
modify the product. The product and its components are not
user serviceable.
The inverter input and output circuits are isolated from the enclosure.
This system does not include an isolation transformer and should be
installed with an ungrounded PV array in accordance with the
requirements of ANSI / NFPA 70, NEC 690.41.
Equipment grounding is the responsibility of the installer and must be
performed in accordance with all applicable Local and National
Codes.
WARNING!
Before operating the inverter, ensure that the inverter is grounded
properly. This product must be connected to a grounded, metal,
permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor
must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the
equipment grounding terminal or lead on the product.
WARNING!
When a ground fault is indicated, normally grounded conductors
may be ungrounded and energized or normally ungrounded
conductors may be grounded.

6. Plan the Installation Site
Choose a wall capable of supporting the full weight of inverter, battery and EV-SB. If
floor-mounting inverter and battery, choose a level surface adjacent to the below
wall.
Choose a propriate location
Choose cable entry of inverter
A conduit fitting or cable gland must be used when wiring connection.
For the wiring connection of inverter, the cable is routed from the right side of
inverter. Totally four 1 inch openings are available for connecting.
Wood studs spaced at 12, 16, 20, 24, 28 and 32 inch
Steel material of sufficient thickness
Solid concrete or masonry

Plan the distance of each unit in the system
The figure below is for maximum distances between each system unit. Wire gauge
must meet the local requirements and it changes based on distance. Please refer to
“Appendix A Wiring and breaker reference”.
Plan amount and size of conduit
Calculate the amount and size of conduit needed for the installation, based on
fill limits and local code requirements. An adapter may be required between the
entry into the wiring compartment and the conduit.
