1Safety Precautions
1.1 Personal Requirements
The hoisting, transportation, installation, wiring, operation, and maintenance of the Turnkey
Station must be carried out by professional electrical technicians in accordance with local
regulations. The professional technician is required to meet the following requirements:
• Should know electronic, electrical wiring and mechanical expertise, and be familiar with
electrical and mechanical schematics.
• Should be familiar with the composition and working principles of the ESS and its front-
and rear-level equipment.
• Should have received professional training related to the installation and commissioning
of electrical equipment.
• Be able to quickly respond to hazards and emergencies that occur during installation and
commissioning.
• Be familiar with the relevant standards and specifications of the country/region where the
project is located.
1.2 Electrical Safety
• Touching the power grid or the contact points and terminals in the devices
connected to the power grid may lead to electric shock!
• The battery side or the power grid side may generate voltage. Always use a
standard voltmeter to ensure that there is no voltage before touching.
• Lethal voltages are present inside the product!
• Note and observe the warnings on the product.
• Respect all safety precautions listed in this manual and other pertinent
documents.
• Respect the protection requirements and precautions of the lithium battery.

2
• Electricity may still exist in the battery when the power supply of the Turnkey
Station is disconnected. Wait 10 minutes to ensure the equipment is completely
voltage-free before any operation.
• All hoisting, transportation, installation, wiring, operation, and maintenance
must be carried out complying with the relevant codes and regulations of the
country where the project is located.
• Always use the product in accordance with the requirements described in this
manual. Otherwise, equipment damage may occur.
To prevent misuse or accidents caused by unrelated personnel, observe the
following precautions:
• Post prominent warning signs around the Turnkey Station to prevent accidents
caused by false switching.
• Place necessary warning signs or barriers near the product.
1.3 Hoisting and Transportation
• Follow the procedure of work of heights when walking on the top of the
container.
1.4 Installation and Wiring
In the whole process of mechanical installation, the relevant standards and
requirements of the project location must be strictly observed.
Only equipment designated by SUNGROW ENERGY STORAGE TECHNOLOGY CO.,
LTD. (hereinafter referred to as "SUNGROW") can be used. Failure to use
equipment designated by SUNGROW may cause damage to the protection
function and injury to personnel.

Maintenance personnel must wear protective equipment such goggles, helmets,
insulated shoes, gloves, etc.
There are no user-maintainable parts inside the battery unit.
Only personnel approved by SUNGROW can remove, replace and dispose of the
batteries. Users are not allowed to maintain batteries without guidance.
To avoid electric shock, do not perform any other maintenance operations beyond
those described in this manual.
If necessary, contact Sungrow Customer Service for maintenance.
To ensure continuous fire protection, replacement of internal components should
only be performed by professional personnel.
Dismantling or burning the battery may cause it to catch fire.
Do not spray paint any internal or external component of the product.
Do not use cleaning agents to clean the product or expose it to harsh chemicals.
Protective tools such as goggles are required when carrying out coolant (glycol
solution) or liquid cooling pipeline maintenance.
1.6 Disposal of Waste
When the device or internal devices is end of life, it cannot be disposed of together with
household wastes. Some components inside can be recycling and some components can
cause environment pollution.

2Product Description
2.1 Product Introduction
The integrated energy storage system consists of an energy storage converter system and
an energy storage battery system. The system is mainly applied in industrial and
commercial scenarios. The energy storage converter system integrates PCS and system
power distribution. The energy storage battery system integrates batteries, LCS and FSS.
Adopt outdoor container box design, through liquid cooling method, it can better balance the
system temperature. Through the combination of power storage equipment, power
conversion equipment and electronic devices, together with intelligent operation and
maintenance, it contributes to easier installation and O&M. Through systematic safety
design, it ensures a more efficient battery performance and longer service life.
