2.4 Working Principles
2.4.1 Circuit Diagram
Four PV strings connect to the SUN2000, and their maximum power points are tracked by
two maximum power point tracking (MPPT) circuits. The SUN2000 converts DC power into
three-phase AC power through an inverter circuit. Surge protection is supported on both the
DC and AC sides.
Figure 2-6 SUN2000 conceptual diagram
2.4.2 Working Modes
The SUN2000 can work in Standby, Operating, or Shutdown mode.

Working
Mode
Description
Standby
The SUN2000 enters Standby mode when the external environment does not
meet the operating requirements. In Standby mode:
The SUN2000 continuously performs status check and enters the
Operating mode once the operating requirements are met.
The SUN2000 enters 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.
If the SUN2000 detects a fault or a shutdown command, it enters the
Shutdown mode.
The SUN2000 enters Standby mode after detecting that the PV string
output power is not suitable for connecting to the power grid for
generating power.

3 Storage
The following requirements should be met if the SUN2000 is not put into use directly:
Do not unpack the SUN2000.
Keep the storage temperature at –40°C to +70°C and the humidity at 5%–95% RH
(non-condensing).
The SUN2000 should be stored in a clean and dry place and be protected from dust and
water vapor corrosion.
A maximum of six SUN2000s 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. Replace the packing materials if
necessary.
If the SUN2000 has been long-term stored, inspections and tests should be conducted by
qualified personnel before it is put into use.
