Installation Procedures
1.1 Microinverter Overview
1.2 System Overview
1.The NEO series Microinverters support RF communication or
communication via WiFi connection.
2.For remote monitoring, the Microinverter with integrated RF
module should be connected to ShineWeLink.
1.If the WiFi signal is weak, please install a WiFi booster at a
suitable place between the microinverter and the router.
2. Position the ShineWeLink next to the router, but maintain a
minimum distance of 0.5m to avoid distortion resulting from the
excessively strong signal.

All accessories listed above are not included in the
package and should be purchased separately.
NOTE:
1.The sequence can be changed based on your installation plan.
2.When crimping the AC trunk cable, a hexagonal wire crimper must be used.
NOTE:
a.Mark the position of each Microinverter on the rack, according to the PV module layout.
b.Mount one Microinverter at each of these locations using accessories recommended by your module racking vendor.
a.The AC cable has an embedded PE wire, which might be sufficient to ensure proper grounding.
b.In some areas, a second protective conductor is required to prevent a touch current in the event of a malfunction in the original
protective conductor. The additional grounding can be done by grounding the screw hole on the handle.
AC bus cable is used to connect the Microinverter to the distribution panel.

Crimp an EN6010 non-insulated cold-pressed terminal
with each cable using a hexagonal wire crimper. Thread
the cables through the cover and sealing plug. Connect
the L, N and PE cables to the corresponding slots, and
then tighten all screws.
Insert the AC Trunk End cap and screw the cap back to
port, then tighten the cap. Tighten the screws, and install the cover back to the trunk
connector.

Service and contact
a. Peel the removable serial number label from each Microinverter.
E
a.Mount the PV modules above the Microinverter.
b.Connect the DC cables of PV modules to the DC input of the Microinverter.
WARNING:
NOTE:
The Max. open circuit voltage under the temperature
of must not exceed the Max. input voltage of the -40℃
Microinverter.
Make sure to not split positive and negative DC
cables into two different input channels.
1.If the DC cable is too short for installation, use the
DC Extension Cable to connect PV modules to
Microinverter, otherwise the PV terminals will be
damaged. It is recommended to use PV cable (PV1-F).
2.The total length of PV cable must not exceed 5m.
3.The Microinverter (including DC and AC connectors)
should avoid direct exposure to sunlight, rain or snow.
Do not place the Microinverter in the gap between PV
modules. Reserve a clearance of at least 20mm around
the Microinverter to ensure sufficient space for
ventilation and heat dissipation.
