User Manual
● Use the original box to repackage the inverter, seal with adhesive tape with the desiccant
inside the box.
● Store the inverter in a clean and dry place, free of dust and dirt. The storage temperature
must be between -40~158°F and humidity should be between 0 to 100%, non-condensing.
● Do not stack more than two (2) inverters high on a single pallet. Do not stack more than
2 pallets high.
● Keep the box(es) away from corrosive materials to avoid damage to the inverter enclosure.
● Inspect the packaging regularly. If packing is damaged (wet, pest damages, etc.), repackage
the inverter immediately.
● Store inverters on a flat, hard surface -- not inclined or upside down.
● After 100 days of storage, the inverter and carton must be inspected for physical damage
before installing. If stored for more than 1 year, the inverter needs to be fully examined and
tested by qualified service or electrical personnel before using.
● Restarting after a long period of non-use requires the equipment be inspected and, in some
cases, the removal of oxidation and dust that has settled inside the equipment will be
required.

2. Safety & Warning User Manual
2.1 Safety symbols
Safety symbols used in this manual, which highlight potential safety risks and important safety
information, are listed below:
WARNING
Symbol indicates important safety instructions, which if not correctly
followed, could result in serious injury or death.
NOTE
Symbol indicates important safety instructions, which if not correctly
followed, could result in damage to or the destruction of the inverter.
CAUTION, RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
Symbol indicates important safety instructions, which if not correctly
followed, could result in electric shock
CAUTION, HOT SURFACE
Symbol indicates safety instructions, which if not correctly
followed, could result in burns.
2.2 General safety instructions
WARNING
Do not connect PV array positive (+) or negative (-) to ground – doing
so could cause serious damage to the inverter.
WARNING
Electrical installations must be done in accordance with local and
national electrical safety standards.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, branch circuit over-current protective
devices (OCPD) are required for circuits connected to the Inverter.
CAUTION
The PV array (solar panels) supplies a DC voltage when exposed to light.
CAUTION
The inverter's surface temperature can reach up to 75⁰C (167⁰F). To avoid
risk of burns, do not touch the surface when the inverter is operating.
Inverter must be installed out of the reach of children.
WARNING
The inverter can only accept a PV array as a DC input. Using any other
type of DC source could damage the inverter.

User Manual
CAUTION
Risk of electric shock from energy stored in the inverter's capacitors.
Do not remove cover until five (5) minutes after disconnecting all sources
of supply have passed, and this can only be done by a service technician.
The warranty may be voided if any unauthorized removal of cover occurs.
The inverter has been constructed according to applicable safety and technical guidelines.
Use the inverter in installations that meet the following requirements ONLY:
1). The inverter must be permanently installed.
2). The electrical installation must meet all the applicable regulations and standards.
3). The inverter must be installed according to the instructions stated in this manual.
4). The system design must meet inverter specifications.
To start-up the inverter, the Grid Supply Main Switch (AC) must be turned on, BEFORE the DC
Switch is turned on. To stop the inverter, the Grid Supply Main Switch (AC) must be turned off
before the DC Switch is turned off.
2.3 Notice for use
2.4 Protection Circuitry and Controls
To meet relevant codes and standards, the Solis U.S. three phase inverter line is
equipped with protective circuitry and controls. These include Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter
(AFCI) and Anti-Islanding Protection.
Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter AFCI:
Edition 2011 of the National Electrical Code®, Section 690.11, requires that all PV plants
attached to a building are fitted with a means of detecting and interrupting serial electric
arcs in the PV wiring and array. An electric arc with a power of 300W or greater must be
interrupted by the AFCI in the time specified by UL 1699B. A triggered AFCI fault may only
be reset manually. After clearing the source of the fault, the AFCI can be deactivated via
the inverter front panel interface.
Anti-Islanding Protection:
Islanding is a condition where the inverter continues to produce power even when the grid
is not present. Circuitry, along with firmware, has been designed to determine if the grid is
present by adjusting the output frequency of the inverter. In the case of a 60Hz resonant
system where the inverter is partially isolated from the grid, the inverter programming can
detect if there is a resonant condition or if the grid is actually present. It can also
differentiate between inverters operating in parallel and the grid.

User Manual
3.1 Environmental considerations
3.1.1 Select a location for the inverter
When selecting a location for the inverter, consider the following:
● The temperature of the inverter heat-sink can reach 167°F.
● The inverter is designed to work in an ambient temperature range between -13~140°F.
● If multiple inverters are installed on site, a minimum clearance of 20 inches should be kept
between each inverter and all other mounted equipment. The bottom of the inverter should be
at least 20 inches above of the ground or floor (see Figure 3.1).
● The LED status indicator lights and the LCD located on the inverter's front panel should not be
blocked.
● Adequate ventilation must be present if the inverter is to be installed in a confined space.
Figure 3.1 Distances required between inverters
NOTE
Nothing should be stored on or placed against the inverter.
WARNING: Risk of fire
Despite careful construction, electrical devices can cause fires.
Do not install the inverter in areas containing highly flammable materials or
gases.
Do not install the inverter in potentially explosive atmospheres.
