5Installation Manual
INTRODUCTION (DC-Coupled)
The EverVolt provides power to the essential loads by utilizing power
from PV panels, the utility and batteries. When the PV panels (two string
input) generate enough power, the inverter can support the essential
loads, charge the batteries and feed back to the grid all at the same time.
When the energy generated by the PV panels is not sufficient to support
the essential loads, the inverter takes power from either the batteries or
the utility depending on the mode the homeowner has selected.
To accommodate various power situations, the EverVolt is designed to
handle continuous power from PV panels, batteries and the utility. When
the MPPT input voltage from the PV panels is within the acceptable
range, between 250 and 430VDC, the inverter is able to feed the grid
and charge the batteries. The EverVolt inverter is compatible with
monocrystalline, polycrystalline and Panasonic HIT PV panels.
Note:
∙ Positively grounded PV modules are not compatible with the
DC-coupled EverVolt system.
∙ When PV input voltage is lower than 250V, the power of the
inverter will de-rate.
Basic EverVolt Configuration (DC-Coupled)
Introduction

6Installation Manual
With the AC Coupled EverVolt, energy storage can be added to homes
and small commercial buildings, with or without a PV system. The AC
Coupled EverVolt can be AC-coupled with existing PV systems, either with
string or micro inverters, to allow continuous use during utility outages.
To facilitate easy installation, the AC Coupled EverVolt's distribution box
includes quick disconnect terminals, DC and battery disconnects, AC
breakers, battery connectors and an optional generator contactor. The AC
Coupled EverVolt supports a wide range of applications, including peak
shaving, backup, TOU with or without feed-in, and remote control.

Important Safety Warnings
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND CAUTIONARY MARKINGS ON
THE UNIT AND THIS MANUAL BEFORE USING THE INVERTER. AND,
STORE THIS USER MANUAL WHERE IT CAN BE ACCESSED EASILY.
WARNING: Users and homeowners should not attempt to service
Evervolt. Only an authorized Panasonic technician should attempt to
service EverVolt.
Safety Symbols
WARNING: This indicates the risk of electric shock. The
presence of high voltage levels may constitute a risk of injury
or death to users and/or installers.
CAUTION: This indicates important information where failure
to comply may result in safety hazards or cause damage to
this product.
CAUTION: This indicates the risk of a hot surface. The
surface may reach a temperature high enough to cause
serious burn injuries.
General Precautions
CAUTION: Before installing and using this inverter, read all
instructions and cautionary markings on the inverter and
all appropriate sections of this guide. This inverter must be
installed by licensed electricians only.
CAUTION : Normally grounded conductors may be
ungrounded and energized when a ground fault is
indicated.
CAUTION: This inverter is heavy. It should be lifted by at least
two persons for safety.
WARNING: These servicing instructions are for use by
qualified personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
do not perform any servicing other than that specified in the
operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so.

8Installation Manual
Important Safety Warnings
WARNING : Authorized service personnel should reduce the
risk of electrical shock by disconnecting AC, DC and battery
power from the inverter before attempting any maintenance
or cleaning or working on any circuits connected to the
inverter. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.
Internal capacitors can remain charged for five (5) minutes
after disconnecting all sources of power.
WARNING: Do not disassemble this inverter yourself. It
contains no user-serviceable parts. Attempting to service this
inverter yourself may cause a risk of electrical shock or fire
and will void the warranty from Panasonic.
WARNING: To avoid a risk of fire and electric shock, make
sure that existing wiring is in good condition and that the wire
is not undersized. Do not operate the Inverter with damaged
or substandard wiring.
CAUTION: Under high temperature environment, the cover
of this inverter could be hot enough to cause skin burns if
accidentally touched. Ensure that this inverter is away from
normal traffic areas.
WARNING: During the installation process, drilling, punching,
and screwing the bolts can cause metal burrs, which must be
cleaned up to prevent them from falling into the electronics.
WARNING : Use only recommended accessories from
Panasonic.
CAUTION: To reduce risk of fire hazard, do not cover or
obstruct the cooling fan.
CAUTION: Do not operate the Inverter if it has received a
sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way.
If the Inverter is damaged, call for an RMA (Return Material
Authorization).
WARNING : Exposed hazardous voltage, during servicing or
for emergency procedures use a lockable manual breaker
lockout on the main service panel disconnects to enable
Lock-Out-Tag-Out per the Standard for Electrical Safety in
the Workplace, NFPA 70E, and the Standard for Workplace
Electrical Safety, CSA Z462.

10 Installation Manual
Important Safety Warnings
WARNING: Only charge the EverVolt within the specified
conditions. Failure to do so may result in damages, heat
generation, smoke, fire, or explosion.
Check positive (+) and the negative (-) terminals. If the EverVolt
is connected with reversed polarity, unexpected reactions
may occur such as damages, heat generation, smoke, fire, or
explosion.
Do not connect between the positive (+) and negative (-)
terminals with a conductive material (e.g. wire, a cable, etc.).
This may result in damages, heat generation, smoke, fire, or
explosion.
Do not directly solder the EverVolt. This may result in damages,
heat generation, smoke, fire, or explosion.
CAUTION: Do not expose the EverVolt to liquids or flooding.
Do not expose of equipment or batteries with household waste.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire or by burning. The batteries
can explode.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Risk of fire. Do not attempt
to repair the battery(ies); it contains no user-serviceable
parts. Tampering with or opening the battery(ies) will void the
warranty. If the battery(ies) fails, contact Panasonic Customer
Support for assistance at
panasonice[email protected].
WARNING: Proper disposal of lithium-ion batteries is required.
Follow all local codes and regulations for proper disposal and
recycling of lithium-ion batteries. Contact your Panasonic
representative with any questions or concerns. The customer
cannot keep the old lithium-ion batteries because they are
dangerous and considered hazardous waste.
