2.2 Important safety information
Danger to life due to electric shock when live components or
cables are touched
• All work on the inverter must only be carried out by qualified
personnel who have read and fully understood all safety
information contained in this manual.
• Do not open the inverter.
• Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the inverter.
Danger to life due to high voltages of the PV array
When exposed to sunlight, the PV array generates dangerous
DC voltage which is present in the DC conductors and the live
components of the inverter. Touching the DC conductors or
the live components can lead to lethal electric shocks. If you
disconnect the DC connectors from the inverter under load,
an electric arc may occur leading to electric shock and burns.
• Do not touch non-insulated cable ends.
• Do not touch the DC conductors.
• Do not touch any live components of the inverter.
• Have the inverter mounted, installed and commissioned only
by qualified persons with the appropriate skills.
•If an error occurs, have it rectified by qualified persons only.
•Prior to performing any work on the inverter, disconnect it
from all voltage sources as described in this document (see
Section 9
"Disconn
ecting the Inverter from Voltage Sources").

2.3 Symbols on the label
Symbol Explanation
Beware of a danger zone
This symbol indicates that the inverter must be
additionally grounded if additional grounding or
equipotential bonding is required at the installation
Risk of injury due to electric shock
Touching an ungrounded PV module or array frame can
cause a lethal electric shock.
• connect and ground the PV modules, array frame and
electrically conductive surfaces so that there is continuous
conduction.
Risk of burns due to hot enclosure parts
Some parts of the enclosure can get hot during operation.
• During operation, do not touch any parts other than the
enclosure lid of the inverter.
Damage to the inverter due to electrostatic discharge
Internal components of the inverter can be irreparably
damaged by electrostatic discharge.
• Ground yourself before touching any component.

children.
2. Mount the inverter in areas where it cannot be touched
inadvertently.
3. Ensure good access to the inverter for installation and
possible service.
4. The ambient temperature should be below 40°C to ensure
optimal operation.
5. Observe the minimum clearances to walls, other inverters, or
objects as follows to ensure sufficient heat dissipation.
Danger to life due to fire or explosion

8. The mounting method, location and surface must be suitable
for the inverter's weight and dimensions.
9. If mounted in a residential area, we recommend mounting the
inverter on a solid surface. Plasterboard and similar materials
are not recommended due to audible vibrations when in use.
10. Don’t put any objects on the inverter. Do not cover the
inverter.
11. Mount the inverter vertically or tilted backward by max.15°.

16 UM0005_ASW 8-20K-LT-G2_EN_V03_1121
12. Never install the inverter horizontally, or with a forward tilt or
with a backward tilt or even with upside down. The horizontal
installation can result in damage to the inverter.
13. Mount the inverter at eye level for easy inspection.

UM0005_ASW 8-20K-LT-G2_EN_V03_1121 17
4.2 Mounting the inverter
Mounting procedure:
1. Use the wall bracket as a drilling template and mark the
positions of the drill holes, then drill 3 holes (Φ10) to a depth
about 70mm. During operation, keep the drill vertical to the
wall, and hold the drill steady to avoid tilted holes.
Risk of injury when lifting the inverter, or if it is dropped
The weight of Solplanet inverter is max. 18.6 kg. There is risk
of injury if the inverter is lifted incorrectly or dropped while
being transported or when attaching it to or removing it from
the wall bracket.
• Transport and lift the inverter carefully.
Risk of injury due to damaged cables
There may be power cables or other supply lines (e.g. gas or
water) routed in the wall.
• Ensure that no lines are laid in the wall which could be
damaged when drilling
holes.

18 UM0005_ASW 8-20K-LT-G2_EN_V03_1121
2. After cleaning the dust and other objects from the holes, place
3 wall anchors into the holes, then attach the wall bracket to
the wall using the hexagon head screw delivered with the
inverter.
3. Hold the inverter using the handles at the corners, attach the
inverter onto the wall bracket tilted slightly downwards.
Risk of injury due to the product falls down
If the depth and distance of the holes is not correct, the
product maybe fall down from the wall.
•Before inserting the wall anchors, measure the depth and
distance of the holes.

UM0005_ASW 8-20K-LT-G2_EN_V03_1121 19
4. Check both sides of the outer fin of the inverter to ensure that it
is securely in place.
5. Attach the outer fins of heat sink to both sides of the wall
bracket using M4 screws. (screw driver type: PH2, torque: 1.6
Nm).
Dismante the inverter in reverse order.
