3Installing a Solar Inverter
•This quick guide describes how to install a solar
inverter on a support. For details about wall-
mounted installation, see the user manual.
•The M12x40 bolt assemblies are delivered with the
solar inverter. If the bolt assembly length does not
meet the installation requirements, prepare M12
bolt assemblies by yourself and use them together
with the delivered M12 nuts.
•Before installing the mounting bracket, remove the
security Torx wrench and set it aside.

Installation Space
2.2
For ease of installing the SUN2000
on the mounting bracket,
connecting cables to the bottom of
the SUN2000, and maintaining the
SUN2000 in future, it is
recommended that the bottom
clearance be between 600 mm and
730 mm.
Use the handles
to facilitate
installation.
Handles are
optional and
delivered
separately.
Ensure that the
handles are
securely
installed. After
the installation
is complete,
remove the
handles and set
them aside.

Preparations
4.1
•S and Spare the conductor cross-sectional areas of AC power cables and PE cables
respectively.
•The cable diameter must comply with local cable standards.
•The factors that affect cable selection include the rated current, cable type, routing mode,
ambient temperature, and maximum expected line loss.
4Connecting Cables
•Connect cables in accordance with the local installation laws and regulations.
•To prevent poor cable connection due to overstress, leave enough slack before connecting the
cables to the appropriate ports.
•To ensure that the inverter can be safely disconnected from the power grid when an
exception occurs, connect an AC switch to the AC side of the inverter. Select an appropriate
AC switch in accordance with local industry standards and regulations.
•Do not connect loads between the inverter and the AC switch that directly connects to the
inverter. Otherwise, the switch may trip by mistake.
•If an AC switch is used with specifications beyond local standards, regulations, or the
Company's recommendations, the switch may fail to turn off in a timely manner in case of
exceptions, causing serious faults.
Each inverter must be equipped with an AC output switch. Multiple inverters cannot connect to
the same AC output switch.

7
Installing a PE Cable
4.2
•It is recommended that the
PE cable of the solar inverter
be connected to a nearby
ground point. Connect the PE
points of all solar inverters in
the same array to ensure
equipotential connections to
PE cables.
•To enhance the corrosion
resistance of a ground
terminal, you are advised to
apply silica gel or paint on it
after connecting the PE cable.
Opening the Maintenance Compartment Door
4.3
•Do not open the panel of the solar inverter.
•Before opening the maintenance compartment door, turn off the downstream AC output
switch and three DC switches at the bottom.
•Do not open the maintenance compartment door in rainy or snowy days. If you have to, take
protective measures to prevent rain or snow from entering the maintenance compartment.
•Do not leave unused screws in the maintenance compartment.

is valid only if the conductors of the PE cable and AC power cable use the
same material. If the materials are different, ensure that the conductor of the PE cable with a
proper cross
-
sectional area produces a conductance equivalent to that of the cable specified in the
table. The
specifications of the PE cable are subject to this table or calculated according to IEC
60364
-5-54.
Note

mm based on the label in the maintenance compartment.

3. Remove the accessories and set them aside.
Removing the Rubber Rings from the Crimping Module
4.4
Use scissors to cut off the joints of the rubber rings to remove them. All rubber rings are
removed in the same way.
Remove the corresponding rubber rings strictly according to the cable diameter range, and
ensure that the crimping module is not damaged. Otherwise, the protection level of the solar
inverter will be affected.
1. Loosen the screws on the
maintenance compartment door.
2. Open the maintenance compartment door and
adjust the support bar.

9
(Optional) Installing the Tracking System Power Cable
4.5
•A switch-disconnector-fuse or fuse-switch-disconnector with a voltage of no less than 500 V,
current of 16 A, and protection type of gG needs to be installed between the SUN2000 and
the tracker controller for protection.
•The tracking system should be equipped with an overcurrent protective device or component.
The length of the cable between the power cable terminal and the overcurrent protection
device or component must be less than or equal to 2.5 m.
•The power supply of the tracking system should be an AC three-phase power grid.
•Keep inflammable materials away from the power cable.
•The power cable must be protected with a conduit to prevent short circuits caused by
insulation layer damage.
Installing the AC Output Power Cable
4.6
•The cable outer diameter can be measured using the ruler sticker in the maintenance
compartment.
•Ensure that the AC output power cable is secured. Failure to do so may cause the solar inverter
to malfunction or damage to its terminal block by issues such as overheating.
•Sufficient slack should be provided in the PE cable to ensure that the last cable bearing the
force is the PE cable when the AC output power cable bears pulling force due to force majeure.
•If a screw on the maintenance compartment door is lost, obtain the spare screw from the fitting
bag tied at the bottom of the maintenance compartment.

Before connecting the PV module output to the inverter, test the insulation resistance between
the PV–cables and the ground to ensure that the PV module output is properly insulated to the
ground. Use an insulation resistance tester to add 1500 V voltage between the PV–cables and
the ground, and check the resistance. Ensure that the insulation resistance of all PV–cables is
greater than or equal to 1 MΩ. If the value is less than 1 MΩ, troubleshoot the cable insulation.
Installing DC Input Power Cables
4.7
Selecting DC Input Terminals
When the DC inputs are not fully configured, the DC input terminals must meet the following
requirements:
1. Evenly distribute the DC input power cables on the DC input terminals controlled by the three
DC switches. DC SWITCH 1 is preferred.
2. The even-numbered PV terminals are preferred to maximize the connections of MPPTs.
3. If the number of PV inputs is 11 to 19, connect cables to the odd-numbered PV terminals
from PV1 and PV19, and avoid connections to adjacent MPPTs if possible.
If the number of PV inputs is 11 to 19, the DC input terminals are selected as follows.

13
1. Use the positive and negative Amphenol Helios H4 metal contacts and DC connectors
supplied with the solar inverter. Using incompatible positive and negative metal contacts and
DC connectors may result in serious consequences. The caused device damage is not covered
under any warranty.
2. Before connecting the DC input power cables, label the cable polarities to ensure correct
cable connections. Otherwise, the solar inverter may be damaged.
3. Measure the voltage at the DC input end using a multimeter set to the DC position. If the
voltage is a negative value, the DC input polarity is incorrect. Correct the polarity. If the
voltage is greater than 1100 V, too many PV modules are configured to the same string.
Remove some PV modules.
4. If the DC input power cable is reversely connected and the DC switches are set to ON, do not
perform any operation on the switches or the positive and negative connectors. Otherwise,
the device may be damaged. The caused device damage is not covered under any warranty.
Wait until the solar irradiance weakens at night and the PV string current decreases below 0.5
A. Set the three DC switches to OFF, and correct the connection of positive and negative
connectors.
5. For models of the crimping tool and removal wrench, use the recommended model or
contact your dealer.
6. Connect the PV string connector to the inverter connector, and then pull back the PV string
connector along the axial direction to check whether the connectors are securely connected.
7. The connector must be securely connected. Damages caused by improper connection are not
covered under the warranty.
