Cabling and Conduits
Note: Each kit contains connectors/terminal lugs.
Any earthing cable, AC cable and conduits are not supplied by Solahart and should be selected based on
the following criteria.
Inverter DC/AC cabling must be sized and installed in accordance with AS/NZS 3000, AS/NZS 3008.1.1
and any local applicable codes.

Note: Where only one battery tower connected is to the inverter, each DC cable must be installed in
accordance with AS/NZS 3008.1.1 to achieve a current carrying capacity of >25A (in-built rating of
battery circuit breaker). External 32A DC circuit breaker must be installed between the battery
towers and inverter.
Where more than one battery tower is connected, refer to the table below. Some inverters are capable of
max continuous current of 50A. DC cable must achieve a current capacity of >50A for these inverters
(external 63A DC circuit breaker must be installed between the battery towers and inverter).

14
•
Providing restricted access to the battery system designed to prevent access by unauthorised
persons.
•Where subject to potential physical damage, mechanical protection shall be provided to the battery
system to minimise the risk of such, resulting in electrolyte leakage, including:
oCrushing
oImpact
oPuncturing
•Mechanical protection may be achieved via the use of a suitable battery system enclosure and/ or
bollards.
Mounting the Inverter
Follow the GoodWe ET, GEH, EH Series User Manuals to choose a suitable location and correctly mount
the Inverter to the wall using appropriate fasteners and with regards to clearance requirements.
A lock can be installed on the inverter for anti-theft purposes.
Mounting AC Isolator Enclosure(s)
ISOLATOR ENCLOSURES
1. Determine the mounting locations of the enclosures with regard to system clearances,
layout specifications and AS/NZS 3000.
2. Install a minimum of two (2) fasteners diagonally opposite, to fix the enclosure to the
wall.
3. Install the silicone rubber plugs supplied with the enclosure on the internal mounting
points.
Note: Where the Inverter is not adjacent to the switchboard to which it is connected,
an “Inverter AC Isolator” must be installed at the Inverter in accordance with
AS/NZS 3000.

Mounting Smart Meter
The Smart Meter can be attached to a DIN rail inside the switchboard via mounting clips supplied with the
Meter.
Note: Check Smart Meter and CT communication cable to ensure insulation is rated for the highest voltage
present inside the switchboard. Additional insulation may be required.

Connecting the Communication Cable
•Do not use RJ45 cable with protective cover.
•When one battery is applied, connect one communication cable to the inverter by RJ45 connector
and connect the other cable to the terminal resistance.
•When multiple batteries are applied, connect the communication ports in series using net cables.
Connect one communication cable of the last battery to the terminal resistance.
1. Remove the waterproof module.

19
2. Route the cable through the waterproof module.
3. Crimp the RJ45 Registered Jack.
4. Secure the back cover.
5. Connect the communication cable and the terminal resistance to the battery.

20
6. Secure the cover.
METER
Follow instructions from GoodWe ET, EH and GEH User Manual to connect the communication cable from
the Inverter.
Note: Check the communication cables to ensure the insulation is rated for the highest voltage present
inside the switchboard. Additional insulation may be required.
Note: If extension of communication cable is required, a female RJ45 joiner may be used to avoid crimping
the connector.
Warning: If extension of communication cable is required, ensure cable joints are adequately
protected from moisture.
Warning: Ensure all communication cables are adequately protected against mechanical
damage.
DC and AC Cable Wiring
Refer to the wiring diagrams on page 12.
Warning: Ensure all DC and AC cables are adequately protected against vermin and other
damage.
Warning: Ensure in-built DC isolator is switched OFF prior to wiring.
Note: Ensure the conductors on all cable ends are consolidated (e.g. using bootlace) before termination.
BATTERY
