• Recommendation!
The external protective ground wire is connected to the protective ground ter-
minal of the inverter via the AC connector.
When connecting, connect the AC connector first to ensure that the inverter is
grounded, and then make the DC connection.
When disconnecting, disconnect the AC power by opening the branch circuit
breaker first, but keep the protective ground wire in the branch circuit breaker,
connect to the inverter, and then disconnect the DC inputs.
• Under no circumstances should the DC input be connected when the AC con-
nector is disconnected.
• Install isolating switching devices on the AC side of the inverter.
Radio Interference Statement
CE EMC Compliance: This equipment may comply with CE EMC, which are de-
signed to protect against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment may emit radio frequency energy which can cause harmful interfe-
rence to radio communications if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions. But there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a par-
ticular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, the following measures may solve the problems:
A) Reposition the receiving antenna and keep it away from the equipment
B) Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Energy Monitoring and Analysis (EMA) systems software analyzes and reports the performance
of each module based on real-time data collected by the Energy Collection Device (ECD) ga-
teway. EMA immediately detects any performance issues in the array, indicating the location
and nature of the problem and providing precise maintenance guidance, all in a user-friendly
graphical interface. Communication between the inverter and the ECD can be affected by
signal „noise” from a nearby electrical device, the distance between the inverters and the ECD,
the number of inverters supported, and other factors, so sometimes the ECD experiences a
random loss of signal or data, this is not a problem or a fault. If the ECD is not communicating
with the EMA database at all, please contact technical support.

Microinverters maximize PV energy production
Each photovoltaic module has individual maximum peak power tracking (MPPT)
controls. This ensures that the maximum power produced is independent of the
performance of other PV modules in the installation.
When photovoltaic modules are affected by shadow, dust, orientation or any
situation in which one module underperforms compared to other units, the
microinverter ensures the highest efficiency, maximizing the performance of
each module.
More reliable than series inverters.
Distributed microinverter system ensures that there is no single failure affecting
the entire system. The inverter housing is designed for outdoor installation and
complies with IP67 protection class.
Easy to install
Individual photovoltaic modules can be installed in any combination, number,
orientation and different types. The ground wire (PE) of the AC cable is connec-
ted to the housing inside the microinverter, potentially eliminating the use of a
ground wire (check local ordinance).
The MPL MicroPV Gate energy storage device (MECD) is installed by plugging it
into any wall outlet and providing a broadband Ethernet connection to a router
or modem. Once installed and set up (see ECD manual), the entire network of
microinverters automatically reports to the Solarman web server. The software
displays performance trends, abnormal situation information and controls sys-
tem shutdown when needed.
Introduction to the microinverter
Microinverters connect to a single-phase grid, and can also use multiple
microinverters in a single-phase grid to achieve a three-phase grid, and work
with most 60 and 72 cell PV modules. Please refer to the technical data page
(16~21) of this manual for more information.

a) Check the microinverter technical data page (page 18) for the maximum
allowable number of microinverters in each chain.
b) Connect the male AC connector of the microinverter to the female connector
to connect them
WARNING: Do not exceed the maximum number of microinverters on the AC
branch circuit as shown on page 7 of this manual.
-8-

Step 4 - Install a protective cap for the AC cable at the end of the AC cable.
Step 5 - Connect microinverters to photovoltaic modules.
WARNING: When the DC cables are connected the microinverter should
immediately flash one quick red and three times the green LED. This will
happen as soon as the cables are connected which will show that the
microinverter is working properly.
This entire check function will start and stop within 5 seconds of connecting the
unit, so keep an eye out for these lights when connecting the DC cables.
Microinverter System User Manual
To operate a microinverter PV system:
1 Turn on the AC breaker on each AC circuit of the microinverter.
2. turn on the main AC breaker from the grid. Your system will begin generating
power after a minute of waiting.
-9-

3. The devices should start blinking red one minute after the AC power switch
is turned on. The blue LED then flashes. This means, This means they are gene-
rating power normally, a faster flashing blue LED means more power is being
generated.
4. connect the ECD and follow the instructions according to the ECD
5. the Microinverters will begin to send power output data through the power
line to the ECD. The time required for all microinverters in the system to report
to the ECD will vary depending on the number of microinverters in the system.
You can verify the correct operation of the microinverters using the ECD.
Refer to the ECD installation and operation manual for more information.
WARNING: When AC power is applied, approximately 0.1 A of current and 25VA
(W) of power can be measured for each microinverter using a meter.
This current and power are reactive. The inverters are NOT operating. After more
than 60 seconds, the inverters will begin to operate
Troubleshooting
Qualified personnel can use the following steps if the photovoltaic system is not
working properly:
Status indications and error reporting
Activate the LED
One minute after the first DC connection to the microinverter, one short red
blink indicates a successful startup sequence of the microinverter,
two or more short red flashes indicate a failure during microinverter setup.
LED operation
Blinks slowly in blue - low power generation
Flashing fast blue - high output
Flashing red - no power output
Red blinks twice - low AC voltage or high voltage
Red blinks three times - mains failure
-10-

GFDI error
A quadruple red LED indicates that the microinverter has detected a ground
fault device interrupt (GFDI) error in the photovoltaic system.
Unless the GFDI error is corrected, the LED will flash four times
Other Faults
All other faults are reported to the ECD. A list of additional faults and
troubleshooting procedures can be found in the in the ECD installation and
operation manual.
WARNING: Never disconnect DC wire connectors under load. Make sure that no
current is flowing in the DC leads before disconnecting. An opaque cover can be
used to cover the module before disconnecting the module.
Troubleshooting a non-functioning microinverter
There are two possible general problems:
a) The microinverter itself may be having problems
b) The microinverter itself is working fine, but has ECD communication pro-
blems. The following items address microinverter problems, not communication
problems (addressed in the ECD manual)
A quick way to determine if it is a microinverter or ECD communication
problem:
1. diagnosis from the microinverter side: Red light - either flashing or continuous
light on the microinverter, or no light at all.
No light or red light means there is definitely a problem with the microinverter.
Diagnosing the microinverter trouble
a) No data display: This is probably a communication problem and not a micro-
inverter problem.
b) Problems with erroneous display: Data is displayed for some time and then
no data is displayed: most likely a communication problem.
c) 0 watts or 2 watts: Likely a microinverter problem
d) Incorrect data display that is not coordinated with data displayed from other
devices: most likely a microinverter problem
