WARNING
ØRead through the Guidance before installation to understand product
information and safety precautions;
ØInstallers must use insulating tools and wear safety equipment;
ØDevice damages caused by failure to comply with storage,
transportation, installation and use requirements specified in Guidance
are not covered under any Warranty.
ØDo not install or use the battery near explosive or inflammable
materials.
ØOnly qualified and well-trained technicians who fully understand the
whole photovoltaic system, grid network, battery system, working
principle and national/local standards are allowed to perform operations
on the battery;
ØUse the battery in a well-ventilated environment with temperature
ranging from -10°C to 50°C . For outdoor installation, build a sun & rain
shade to avoid direct exposure to sunlight and rain.
ØThe batteries should be protected from dust and dirt. Do not expose
batteries to high humidity.
4.1 Basic Installation Requirements
ØThe battery system can be installed indoors or outdoors. The angle and space
requirements are as follows:
Figure 4-1: Wall-mounted installation
Ensure that load capacity of the wall exceeds 280kg.
Note: A maximum of five batteries can be wall-mounted.
Ground
Wall
Figure 4-2: Floor-mounted installation
It's recommended that battery modules are installed in two columns if there are more
than 4 of them.
Note: For floor mounted installation, a maximum of six batteries can be stacked.
Do not place the battery pack upside down.
WARNING
ØWhen installed outdoors, it is necessary to install a sun/rain shade to avoid direct
exposure to sunlight and rain.
