Do not tamper with the nameplate on the inverter enclosure because it contains important
product information.
Installation
Ensure that the inverter is not connected to a power supply and is not powered on before
starting installation.
Ensure that there are no objects within 300 mm, 200 mm, 500 mm, 600 mm, and 1000
mm of the left, right, top, bottom, and front of the inverter, respectively. This is to allow
sufficient space for installation and heat dissipation. For ease of installation, ensure that
the inverter bottom is at most 730 mm above the floor. If you have any questions about
the distance, consult the local technical support engineers.
Ensure that the inverter is installed in a well ventilated environment.
Ensure that the inverter heat sinks are free from blockage.
Open the maintenance compartment door of the chassis before connecting cables. Do not
perform any operation on other components inside the chassis except connecting the PE
cable, AC power cables and communications cables.
Cable Connections
Before connecting cables, ensure that the inverter is secured in position and not damaged in
any way. Otherwise, electric shocks or fire may occur.
Ensure that all electrical connections comply with local electrical standards.
Obtain approval from the local utility company before using the inverter to generate
electricity in grid-tied mode.
Ensure that the cables used in a grid-tied PV system are properly connected and insulated,
meet all specification requirements.
Operation
High voltages may cause electric shocks result in serious injury, death or serious property
damage from inverter in operation. Strictly comply with the safety precautions in this
document and associated documents when operating the inverter.
Do not touch an energized inverter because the heat sink may be over 60ºC.
Follow local laws and regulations when operating the equipment.

Network Application
The SUN2000 applies to grid-tied PV power systems for commercial rooftops and large
power stations. Typically, a grid-tied PV power system consists of PV strings, grid-tied
inverters, AC distribution units (ACDUs), and isolation transformer, as shown in Figure 2-2.

Local maintenance refers to operations performed after a universal serial bus (USB) flash drive,
Bluetooth module, or USB data cable is inserted into the USB port of the SUN2000. For example,
local maintenance includes data import and export using a USB flash drive and connecting to the
SUN2000 app over a Bluetooth module or USB data cable.
If alarming and local maintenance happen concurrently, the alarm/maintenance indicator shows the
local maintenance state first. After the USB flash drive, Bluetooth module, or USB data cable is
removed, the indicator shows the alarm state.

2.4 Working Principle
Conceptual Diagram
The SUN2000 receives inputs from eight PV strings. Then the inputs are grouped into four
MPPT routes inside the SUN2000 to track the maximum power point of the PV strings. The
DC power is then converted into three-phaseAC power through an inverter circuit. Surge
protection is supported on both the DC andAC sides. Figure 2-9 shows the SUN2000
conceptual diagram.
Figure 2-9 SUN2000 conceptual diagram
Working Modes
The SUN2000 can work in standby, operating, or shutdown mode. Figure 2-10 shows the
relationship between the three working modes.

Working
Mode
Description
Standby
The SUN2000 enters the standby mode when the external environment does
not meet the requirements for starting the SUN2000. In standby mode:
The SUN2000 continuously performs self-check and enters the operating
mode once the operating requirements are met.
If the SUN2000 enters the shutdown mode after detecting a shutdown
command or a fault after startup.
Operating
In operating mode:
The SUN2000 converts DC power from PV strings into AC power and
feeds the power to the power grid.
The SUN2000 tracks the maximum power point to maximize the PV
string output.
The SUN2000 enters the shutdown mode after detecting a fault or a
shutdown command, and enters the standby mode after detecting that the
PV string output power does not meet the requirements for grid-tied
electricity generation.
Shutdown
In standby or operating mode, the SUN2000 enters the shutdown mode
after detecting a fault or shutdown command.
In shutdown mode, the SUN2000 enters the standby mode after detecting
a startup command or that a fault is rectified.

3 Inverter Storage
The following requirements should be met if the SUN2000 is not put into use directly:
Put the SUN2000 in the original package. Keep the desiccant and seal it using the
adhesive tape.
Keep the storage temperature at –40°C to +70°C and the humidity at 5%–95% RH.
The inverter should be stored in a clean and dry place and be protected from dust and
water vapor corrosion.
A maximum of five SUN2000s with the packing dimensions (W x H x D) of 1095 mm x
395 mm x 745 mm can be stacked.A maximum of six SUN2000s with the packing
dimensions (W x H x D) of 1045 mm x 400 mm x 680 mm can be stacked. To avoid
personal injury or device damage, stack SUN2000s with caution to prevent them from
falling over.
Periodic inspections are required during the storage. If any rodent bites are found,
replace the packing materials immediately.
If the inverter has been long-term stored, inspections and tests should be conducted by
qualified personnel before it is put into use.
