INTRODUCTION
This hybrid PV inverter can provide power to connected loads by utilizing PV power, utility power and battery
power.
Hybrid inverter
Battery Load
Figure 1 Basic hybrid PV System Overview
Depending on different power situations, this hybrid inverter is designed to generate continuous power from PV
solar modules (solar panels), battery, and the utility. When MPP input voltage of PV modules is within acceptable
range (see specification for the details), this inverter is able to generate power to feed the grid (utility) and
charge battery. Never connect the positive and negative terminals of the solar panel to the ground.
See Figure 1 for a simple diagram of a typical solar system with this hybrid inverter.

INSTALLATION
Unpacking and Inspection
Before installation, please inspect the unit. Be sure that nothing inside the package is damaged. You should
have received the following items inside of package:
Inverter unit Software CD Manual RS-232 cable
Preparation
Before connecting all wirings, please take off bottom cover by removing four screws as shown below.
Mounting the Unit
Consider the following points before selecting where to install:
⚫ Do not mount the inverter on flammable construction materials.
⚫ Mount on a solid surface.
⚫ Install this inverter at eye level in order to allow the LCD display to be
read at all times.
⚫ The ambient temperature should be between 0°C and 55°C to ensure
optimal operation.
⚫ The recommended installation position is to be adhered to the wall
vertically.
⚫ Be sure to keep other objects and surfaces as shown in the right
diagram to guarantee sufficient heat dissipation and to have
enough space for removing wires.
SUITABLE FOR MOUNTING ON CONCRETE OR OTHER
NON-COMBUSTIBLE SURFACE ONLY.

Install the unit by screwing three screws. It’s recommended to use M4 or M5 screws.
Battery Connection
CAUTION: For safety operation and regulation compliance, it’s requested to install a separate DC over-current
protector or disconnect device between battery and inverter. It may not be requested to have a disconnect
device in some applications, however, it’s still requested to have over-current protection installed. Please refer
to typical amperage in below table as required fuse or breaker size. Ring terminal:
WARNING! All wiring must be performed by a qualified personnel.
WARNING! It's very important for system safety and efficient operation to use

Please follow below steps to implement battery connection:
1. Assemble battery ring terminal based on recommended battery cable and terminal size.
2. Insert the ring terminal of battery cable flatly into battery connector of inverter and make sure the nuts are
tightened with torque of 2-3 Nm. Make sure polarity at both the battery and the inverter/charge is correctly
connected and ring terminals are tightly screwed to the battery terminals.

Sun Gold Power Co.,Ltd www. sungoldpower.com
WARNING: Shock Hazard
Installation must be performed with care due to high battery voltage in series.
CAUTION!! Do not place anything between the flat part of the inverter terminal and the ring
terminal. Otherwise, overheating may occur.
CAUTION!! Do not apply anti-oxidant substance on the terminals before terminals are connected
tightly.
CAUTION!! Before making the final DC connection or closing DC breaker/disconnector, be sure
positive (+) must be connected to positive (+) and negative (-) must be connected to negative (-).
AC Input/Output Connection
CAUTION!! Before connecting to AC input power source, please install a separate AC breaker between
inverter and AC input power source. This will ensure the inverter can be securely disconnected during
maintenance and fully protected from over current of AC input.
CAUTION!! There are two terminal blocks with “IN” and “OUT” markings. Please do NOT mis-connect input
and output connectors.
WARNING! All wiring must be performed by a qualified personnel.
WARNING! It's very important for system safety and efficient operation to use appropriate cable for AC input
connection. To reduce risk of injury, please use the proper recommended cable size as below.

Please follow below steps to implement PV module connection:
1. Remove insulation sleeve 10 mm for positive and negative conductors.
2. Check correct polarity of connection cable from PV modules and PV input
connectors. Then, connect positive pole (+) of connection cable to positive
CAUTION: Appliances such as air conditioner are required at least 2~3 minutes to restart because it’s required
to have enough time to balance refrigerant gas inside of circuits. If a power shortage occurs and recovers in a
short time, it will cause damage to your connected appliances. To prevent this kind of damage, please check
manufacturer of air conditioner if it’s equipped with time-delay function before installation. Otherwise, this
inverter/charger will trig overload fault and cut off output to protect your appliance but sometimes it still causes
internal damage to the air conditioner.
CAUTION: Important
Be sure to connect AC wires with correct polarity. If L and N wires are connected reversely, it may cause
utility short-circuited when these inverters are worked in parallel operation.
