Observe the following instructions for the corresponding installation.
General hints
⚫ Before you start mounting, check the solar module, the inverter and all cables for
visual damage.
⚫ Do not stand on the module or the module frame. To prevent grease stains on the
module, avoid contact with your hands on the glass surface and ideally wear work
gloves.
⚫ Place the solar module face down on a clean, flat, soft surface.
⚫ Write down the model and serial number of the components [inverter, solar
module(s)] and keep the numbers. In the event of a defect, we will need the numbers
for unique identification.
Balcony
⚫The solar module is only suitable for installation up to a height of 4m (upper edge of
the module), provided that there is also no public traffic below the module.
*The balcony bracket is available as an accessory:
- Balcony bracket TX-227 for TX-212
- Balcony bracket TX-230 for TX-220 & TX-228
Flat roof (bitumen roof)
⚫ The statics of the roof for the photovoltaic system must be checked by the customer.
The photovoltaic system can be installed up to a roof height of 9m, a sea level of max.
350 m and a roof pitch of 45°.
⚫ We recommend a distance of 1.25 m to fire walls of adjacent buildings (e.g. row
houses). For more detailed requirements for your federal state, please refer to your
state building code (LBO).
⚫ Make sure that national and site-specific building regulations, occupational safety
and accident prevention regulations, standards and environmental protection
regulations are observed.
Weight the module mount evenly
⚫ The solar module (up to 19kg) should be positioned at ground level or centered on
a flat roof.
⚫ Suitable is a bracket for mounting on bitumen, concrete, in the garden on the lawn
or terrace.
⚫ The weighting is calculated according to the terrain IV (urban area), where at least
15% of the area is covered with buildings, the average height of which exceeds 15m,
and may differ for other heights or terrain structures.
⚫ In case of installation on a flat roof, the top edge of the building should be lower
than 15m and the photovoltaic system should be at least 1.25m away from the
neighbor's roof surface. The maximum slope of the ground may be 5°.
⚫ One concrete slab should weigh 9kg.
⚫ Check whether the statics of the installation site are suitable for the photovoltaic

12
Model: TX-203,TX-204,TX-228; Article No. 5021,5023,5040; 10/2022
system. Technaxx Germany does not assume any liability for the suitability of your
installation site.
Facade
⚫ For the mounting you need your own dowels and screws. Since every wall is
different.
⚫ Up to a height (upper edge of the module) of 4m the glass-foil module can be used,
as long as you cannot step directly under the module.
Connect the solar panels (DC connection)
Connect the solar panels DC cables to the DC input side of the micro inverter.
Connect solar panels with 300W
Connect solar panels with 600W
The 300W is connected to the solar panels via MC4 connectors. The 600W micro
inverter provides two pairs of MC4 connectors for two solar panels. Simply connect
the DC connection cables of the micro inverter to the matching counterpart of the solar
panel. When doing so, plug the pair of connectors together until you hear a "click"
sound. The connectors of some solar panels have the polarity (+, -) printed on them,
which is valid for the panels. The DC cable of the micro inverter with the plus marking
(+) is connected to the - pole of the panel, the negative marked cable (-) to the + pole.
Make sure that the polarity is correct.
The connected solar panel must not exceed the maximum permissible DC
input voltage/solar panel voltage of the micro inverter (see type plate) under
any circumstances!
Note: When plugging in the DC cables, if the AC cable is already plugged in, the micro
inverter LED should immediately flash green and start synchronizing with the grid
within 2 minutes. If the AC cable is not plugged in, the red LED will flash continuously
and repeat this until the AC cable is plugged in (see chapter LED Status).
Connecting the micro inverter to the AC grid (AC connection)
A maximum of 2x 300W or 1x 600W may be connected to an EU / 50Hz /
230V installation with 16A automatic circuit breaker.
The connection to the mains is made with a suitable power cable. Only use 3-core
cables that are also approved for outdoor installation and have a conductor cross-

13
Model: TX-203,TX-204,TX-228; Article No. 5021,5023,5040; 10/2022
section adapted to the amperage (preferably 1.5mm² or 4mm²).
Fasten the connection cables to the mounting rail using UV-stable cable ties in such
a way that the cables are protected from rain and sun and, in particular, the plug
connections cannot lie in a puddle of water. To connect the micro inverter and the
connection cable, the pre-assembled AC plug-in system in combination with an AC
cable and assembled Betteri IP68 connection socket or the AC string input/output can
be used, depending on the delivery variant. To mount a Wieland connector, the pre-
assembled Betteri IP68 connector system must be removed.
Note: Other plug connections / systems may be possible, provided they are suitable
for outdoor use and the current levels involved.
First commissioning
After mechanical and electrical installation of the solar power system, you can put the
system into operation. There should be enough sunshine for this. The solar panels
need to produce at least a start voltage of 22V.
Initial state:
1. The micro inverter is connected to the solar panels
2. The microinverter is connected to the house mains via Wieland
plug(recommended) or Schuko plug.
3. The cables are fixed protected from rain and sunlight
4. The feed line is connected to the mains via a circuit breaker
Proceed as follows:
1. Turn on the circuit breaker and any other switches that may be present.
2. Switch on the main AC switch.
3. The unit LED should begin flashing green after you turn on the AC circuit breaker.
See chapter LED status for more information.
4. The micro inverter starts feeding (grid synchronization) within 2 minutes if there is
sufficient solar radiation. The status LED indicates the basic function. You can check
the feed-in power with a suitable power socket energy meter* (*needs to be water
proof for outside use!).
5. If you have installed a feed-in meter, you can also use it to check the current feed-
in power or energy.
Note: When AC power is applied but the micro inverter is not started, approximately
0.2W of power can be measured for each micro inverter using a power meter. This
power is reactive power, not consumption from the utility grid.

14
Model: TX-203,TX-204,TX-228; Article No. 5021,5023,5040; 10/2022
LED status
The LED of each micro inverter provides information about the current status. All micro
inverters draw their supply voltage from the DC connector/solar panels.
Status during power up
The green LED will flash fast a few times. Then switch-on process usually takes up to
2 minutes. Following LED status can occur:
Flashing fast red (1s):
No AC connection
→ no grid feed
Flashing slow green (3s):
AC connection &
DC connection voltage lower 22V
→ no grid feed
Flashing fast green (1s):
AC connection &
DC connection voltage over 22V
→ grid feed
No LED Flashing/LED off:
No DC connection/solar panels
connected
→ no grid feed
Status after the switch-on process
A fast green flashing LED indicates normal status and an active feed into the grid. If
the LED remains flashing red after 3minutes, this indicates an error with solar panel
voltage that is too low (below 22V) or a missing AC voltage.
The micro inverter can only start feeding (again) after the cause of the error has been
eliminated. The reason for this error could be a faulty solar panel connection / AC
connection or the connected grid exceeds / falls below the voltage / frequency range
of the micro inverter. If the LED shows no function or remains OFF, the most common
cause is that there is no connection to the solar panel or the solar panel voltage is far
below the start voltage.
Troubleshooting
Maintenance work and troubleshooting on the micro inverter may only be carried out
by qualified personnel. Modifications to the micro inverter are generally prohibited.
The micro inverter is potted, the electronics cannot be repaired. The TX-203/TX-204
micro inverter draws its supply voltage from the DC side. To restart the micro inverter,
the solar panels must be disconnected from the micro inverter. The start-up process
usually takes place within 2 minutes. For troubleshooting purposes, perform the
following steps in the order listed:
1. Check that all AC fuses are turned ON.
2. Check all connection cables for external damage.
3. Check all AC side connections for damage or connection errors.
4. Measure at the connection points. The applied mains voltage must not exceed or
fall below the AC voltage range of 180-275V.
5. Restart the micro inverter by disconnecting and reconnecting the DC power / solar
panels. A normal start-up process should be indicated by a green LED (see LED
status).
CAUTION!
Never disconnect the DC cables while the micro inverter is generating power.

15
Model: TX-203,TX-204,TX-228; Article No. 5021,5023,5040; 10/2022
6. Measure the voltage of the solar panel to the micro inverter with a suitable multi-
meter. The required starting voltage of the micro inverter is above DC22V.
7. Check the MC4 connectors of the micro inverter and solar panel(s). Damaged DC
connections must be replaced.
8. If necessary, check with your grid operator whether the grid frequency matches the
frequency range of the micro inverter.
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to repair the micro inverter.
If the above steps do not solve the problem, contact our support or an
electrician.
The AC connection on the micro inverter cannot be replaced/repaired. If the
cable has been damaged, the device should be disposed of.
Unless otherwise specified, maintenance work must be carried out with the
equipment disconnected from the mains (mains switch open) and the solar
panels covered, or insulated.
Do not use rags or corrosive products for cleaning that could corrode parts
of the equipment or cause electrostatic charges.
Avoid temporary repairs. All repairs should be made only with original spare
parts.
Each micro inverter should be protected by a circuit breaker, but central
disconnect protection is not required unless specified by national standards,
or by the responsible network operator.
Technical specifications
⚫ Verify that the voltage and current specifications of the solar panels match
those of the micro inverter.
⚫ The maximum open circuit voltage of the solar panel must be within the
operating voltage range of the micro inverter.
⚫ It is recommended that the maximum rated current in the MPP be equal to
or less than the maximum input DC current. However, the maximum short
circuit current must be equal to or less than the maximum DC input short
circuit current.
⚫It is NOT recommended to oversize the output DC power of the solar panels
by more than 1.35 times (based on the AC output power of the micro inverter).
For the technical specifications of the solar module, please refer to the enclosed data
sheet.

Appendix
Determining the line reserve
The PI Photovoltaic Institute Berlin in cooperation with the German Society for Solar
Energy (DGS), the University of Applied Sciences (HTW) Berlin have worked out in a
study that it is possible to feed in up to 2.6 amps (approx. 630 W, equivalent to 2 solar
modules) with plug-in solar devices in every household with circuit breakers without
any safety concerns, without having to make any changes to the house electrics.
However, there may be a deviation from the applicable standard for line loading. We
have described how to comply with the requirements of the standard and how to test
the line in this appendix. If mini solar systems feed into the existing final circuit, the
current load on individual cable sections may exceed the designed standard size. To
prevent overloading of the cables in the household, they are protected by a line circuit
breaker (LSS). This switches off automatically as soon as an overload occurs. As a
rule, several sockets and consumers are protected by a common line protection. Due
to the additional power of the mini solar system, the currents from the utility grid and
the mini solar system can now add up. However, the currents are not detected by the
line circuit breaker, so theoretically an overload can occur. You can use the following
formula to determine whether the existing line with your circuit breaker is sufficiently
dimensioned:
Iz indicates the current carrying capacity of the line, which should be greater than the
sum of the rated current of the protective device (circuit breaker in amperes) and the
generating equipment (power in amperes). Both Iz and Ig can be found in the following
table for the example application below.
Iz = In + Ig
Iz Permissible current carrying capacity of the line

* The example from the table is based on two loaded copper lines with a nominal cross-section of 1.5mm2,
which reflects the line in a typical German household. In the case of a larger cross-section or a different cable
type, the permissible current-carrying capacity is different, so that this must be considered separately, in
accordance with DIN VDE 0298-4.

Mini solar system 600W
* max. permissible line load is 16.5A
Determination of the line reserve
If the cable is a copper cable with a core cross-section of 3×1.5mm2, then the cable
is designed for a continuous load of 16.5A (in thermally insulated walls at 25°C). The
free capacity is the difference of the line with 16.5A, minus the circuit breaker with
16A. The free capacity is therefore 0.5A in thermally insulated walls. If the solar power
exceeds the current of 0.5A, then the circuit breaker should be replaced with a smaller
one in order to comply with the requirements of the DIN VDE 2948-4 standard. By
exchanging the fuse for a smaller 13A fuse, 13A can now still be drawn from the power
grid, resulting in free capacity for the power line with the difference of 3.5A. The power
of the mini solar system could therefore be up to 805W. In the example (right half of
the picture), the power of the mini solar system is 2.6A/600W, which complies with the
permissible load.
Further safety instructions
⚫ Only connect the mini solar system to a permanently connected socket, never to a
multiple socket.
⚫ If you still have older screw fuses installed, it is mandatory to replace them from
16A to the next smaller fuse.

Disposing of old equipment (Applies in the European Union and other
European countries with separate collection (collection of recyclable
materials) Old equipment must not be disposed of with household waste!
Every consumer is required by law to dispose of old devices that can no
longer be used separately from household waste, e.g. at a collection point
in his or her municipality or district. This ensures that the old devices are
properly recycled and that negative effects on the environment are
avoided. For this reason, electrical devices are marked with the symbol
shown here.
