1 Safety Precautions
Strictly follow all the safety precautions in this document to prevent personal injury or death.
Important Safety Instructions
Save These Instructions: This manual contains important instructions for the
SUN2000-25KTL/30KTL-US that shall be followed during installation and maintenance of
the SUN2000.
Personnel Requirements
Only qualified and trained electrical technicians are allowed to install and operate the
SUN2000.
Operators should understand the components and functioning of a grid-tied PV power
system, and they should be familiar with relevant local standards.
Label Protection
Do not tamper with any warning signs on the SUN2000 enclosure because these signs
contain important information about safe operation.
Do not remove or damage the nameplate on the SUN2000 enclosure because it contains
important product information.
Do not remove the warranty label from the SUN2000 enclosure. Otherwise, product
warranty will be forfeited.
Installation
Read this document before installation. Huawei shall not be liable for any consequence
caused by violation of the regulations specified in this document.
Ensure that the SUN2000 is not connected to a power supply and is not powered on
before starting installation.
Ensure that there are no objects within 200 mm (7.87 in.) of both sides of the SUN2000,
and no objects within 500 mm (19.69 in.), 600 mm (23.62 in.), and 1000 mm (39.37 in.)

of the top, bottom, and front, respectively. This is to allow sufficient space for
installation and heat dissipation.
Install the SUN2000 in an environment with good ventilation to ensure efficient and
long-term system performance.
Ensure that the SUN2000 heat sinks are free from blockage.
Open the maintenance compartment door in the lower part of the enclosure before
installation and cable connections. Do not perform any operation on other components
inside the enclosure except connecting AC power cables and communications cables.
When installing devices or connecting cables, use appropriate tools and take necessary
protective measures to avoid damaging devices.
Cable Connection
Before connecting cables to the SUN2000, ensure that the SUN2000 is securely positioned
and not damaged in any way. Otherwise, electrical shock or fire may occur.
Shield the PV modules with opaque cloth before connecting cables to the SUN2000.
Ensure that all electrical connections comply with local electrical standards.
Obtain approval from the local power supply department before using the SUN2000 to
generate electricity in grid-tied mode.
Ensure that the cables to the solar power system are properly connected and insulated
and meet specifications.
Operation
High voltages may cause electrical shocks and serious injuries during SUN2000 operation.
Strictly comply with the safety precautions in this document and associated documents to
operate the SUN2000.
Do not touch parts of the SUN2000 because the heat sinks are extremely hot when the
SUN2000 is in operation and touching these parts can cause severe burns and personal
injury.
Follow local laws and regulations when operating the SUN2000.
Maintenance and Replacement
Before performing maintenance tasks, power off the SUN2000 by referring to 6.2
Powering Off the SUN2000. Then wait for at least 5 minutes before performing
operations on the SUN2000.
Place temporary warning signs or erect fences to prevent unauthorized access to the
maintenance site.

2.4 Working Process
This section describes the SUN2000 working process.
Circuit Diagrams
The SUN2000 receives inputs from six PV strings. Then the inputs are grouped into three
MPPT circuits inside the SUN2000 to track the maximum power point of the PV strings. The
DC power is then converted into three-phase AC power through an inverter circuit. Surge
protection is supported on both the DC and AC sides. For details, see Figure 2-10.
