Figure 1 Basic hybrid PV System Overview
Depending on different power situations, this hybrid inverter is designed to generate
continuous power from PV solar modules (solar panels), battery, and the utility.
When MPP input voltage of PV modules is within acceptable range (see specification
for the details), this inverter is able to generate power to feed the grid (utility) and
charge battery. This inverter is only compatible with PV module types of single
crystalline and poly crystalline. Do not connect any PV array types other than these
two types of PV modules to the inverter. Do not connect the positive or negative
terminal of the solar panel to the ground. See Figure 1 for a simple diagram of a
typical solar system with this hybrid inverter.
Note: By following the EEG standard, every inverter sold to German area is not
allowed to charge battery from Utility. The relevant function is automatically disabled
by the software.
This manual is for qualified personnel. The tasks described in this manual may be
performed by qualified personnel only.

Installation 4
4.1 Selecting Mounting Location
Consider the following points before selecting where to install:
Do not mount the inverter on flammable construction materials.
Mount on a solid surface
This inverter can make noises during operation which may be perceived as a
nuisance in a living area.
Install this inverter at eye level in order to allow the LCD display to be read at all
times.
For proper air circulation to dissipate heat, allow a clearance of approx. 20 cm to
the side and approx. 50 cm above and below the unit.
Dusty conditions on the unit may impair the performance of this inverter.
The ambient temperature should be between 0°C and 40°C and relative humidity
should be between 5% and 85% to ensure optimal operation.
The recommended installation position is to be adhered to vertical.
For proper operation of this inverter, please use appropriate cables for grid
connection.
The pollution degree of the inverter is PD2. Select an appropriate mounting
location. Install the solar inverter in a protected area that is dry, free of excessive dust
and has adequate air flow. Do NOT operate it where the temperature and humidity is
beyond the specific limits. (Please check the specs for the limitations.)
Installation position shall not prevent access to the disconnection means.
This inverter is designed with IP20 for indoor applications only.
Regularly clean the fan filter.

1. Drill six holes in the marked locations with supplied six screws. The reference
tightening torque is 35 N.m.
3. Fix the inverter in position by screwing the supplied two screws (M4*12)
located on the top two sides of the inverter.
2.Raise the inverter and place it over the mounting plate.
4.Check if the inverter is firmly secured.

5 Grid (Utility) Connection
5.1 Preparation
NOTE1:
to install a separate circuit breaker for safety consideration. Please use 250VAC/40A
circuit breaker between inverter and AC utility.
NOTE2: The overvoltage category of the AC input is III. It should be connected to the
power distribution.
Although this inverter is equipped with 250VAC/40A fuse, it’s still necessary
Before connecting to AC utility, please install a separate AC circuit breaker between
inverter and AC utility. This will ensure the inverter can be securely disconnected
during maintenance and fully protected from over current of AC input.
WARNING!
appropriate cable for grid (utility) connection. To reduce risk of injury, please use
the proper recommended cable size as below.
It's very important for system safety and efficient operation to use

CAUTION:
breaker between inverter and PV modules.
NOTE1: Please use 1000VDC/20A circuit breaker.
NOTE2: The overvoltage category of the PV input is II.
Before connecting to PV modules, please install separately a DC circuit
Please follow below steps to implement PV module connection:
WARNING:
are acceptable: single crystalline and poly crystalline with class A-rated and CIGS
modules.
To avoid any malfunction, do not connect any PV modules with possibility of
leakage current to the inverter. For example, grounded PV modules will cause
leakage current to the inverter. When using CIGS modules, please be sure NOT
grounding.
CAUTION: It’s requested to have PV junction box with surge protection.
Otherwise, it will cause inverter damage when lightning occurs on PV modules.
Because this inverter is non-isolated, only three types of PV modules
Step 1: Check the input voltage of PV array modules. The acceptable input voltage of
the inverter is 250VDC - 900VDC. This system is only applied with two strings of PV
array. Please make sure that the maximum current load of each PV input connector is
10A.
CAUTION:
the system before wire connection.
Exceeding the maximum input voltage can destroy the unit!! Check
Step 4: Connect wires according to polarities indicated on terminal block. Be sure to
connect PE protective conductor ( ) first.
L→ LINE (brown or black)
→ Ground (yellow-green)
