Introduction
Features:
The TENTEK Tiger series microinveer , can be widely used in general 190V-276V electric power distribution. Each microinveer, with up to 2
PV modules connected, built in quick t connectors, simplies the installation process and ranks among the most cost eective solutions for
commercial and industrial installations.
TENTEK Microinveer individually connects to each PV module in your array. This conguration enables an individual MPPT to control each PV
module, ensuring that maximum power available from each PV module is transmitted to the utility grid regardless of the peormance of the
other PV modules in the array. While an individual PV module in the array may be aected by shading, soiling, orientation, or PV module
mismatch, each TENTEK Microinveer ensures top peormance for its associated PV module.
Real-time Monitoring
Once you install the TENTEK Microinveer and connect your home WiFi successfully, which automatically begin repoing to historical system
peormance trends and informs you about the PV system status.
Optimal Reliability
Microinveer systems are inherently more reliable than traditional inveers. The distributed nature of a microinveer system ensures that
there is no single point of system failure in the PV system. TENTEK Microinveers are designed to operate at full power at ambient tempera-
tures as high as 65 ℃ (149 F).
Ease of Design
PV systems using TENTEK Microinveers are ve simple to design and install. You will not need cumbersome calculations like traditional string
inveers. You can install individual PV modules in any combination of PV module quantity, type, age and orientation. Each microinveer quickly
mounts on the PV racking, directly beneath each PV module.
Safety
Low voltage DC wires connect from the PV module directly to the co-located microinveer, eliminating the risk of personnel exposure to
dangerously high DC voltage.

05 05
2 types applications model:
On-grid working model:
TENTEK Tiger series Microinveers will eciently conve the DC output of the PV module into grid-compliant AC power.
Storage Working Model:
Completing with TENKEK Tribun-EMS controller allows realizing the storage and utilization of solar energy. So as to ensure that some impo-
ant household devices can continue to work in the case of power failure. It also can realize the function of no power feed in grid connection
mode and load caring in o grid mode, so as to meet the self use projects with ceain load capacity. And those projects that cannot apply
for grid connection or whose transformer capacity is limited.
NOTE: To ensure optimal reliability and to meet warranty requirements, the Microinveer must be installed according to the

Module Compatibility
TENTEK Tiger series microinveer are compatible with most 60-cell and 72-cell PV modules. For other types of PV modules, please ensure that
they are electrically paired with TENTEK microinveer. Please see the Technical Data page of this user manual to get more information.
PV Module Selection:
When selecting proper PV modules, please be sure to consider below parameters:
Branch Circuit Capacity
Plan your AC branch circuits to meet the following limits* for maximum number of microinveers per branch when protected with a 30-amp
over-current protection device (OCPD). For most multi-phase installations, use a 3- pole32A OCPD.
1. Open circuit Voltage (VOC) of PV modules not exceeding maximum PV array open circuit voltage onveer.
2. Open circuit Voltage (VOC) of PV modules should be higher than minimum batte voltage.
Maximum Microinveers per AC branch circuit
Grounding Considerations
This microinveer is a classy equipment with basic isolation transformer and this microinveer must be eahed. There is an eah wire inside
the AC cable, so usually the grounding can be done by directly by this wire. If the utility has some special requirements, the grounding can be
done by bonding the mounting bracket to the racking.

Lightning and Surge Suppression
TENTEK Microinveers have integral surge protection. However, if the surge has over energy, the protection built into the microinveer can be
exceeded, and the equipment can be damaged. For this reason, TENTEK recommends you to protect your system with a lightning and/or
surge suppression device. In addition, to have some level of surge suppression, it is also impoant to have insurance that protects against
lightning and electrical surges. NOTE: Protection against lightning and resulting voltage surge must be in accordance with local standards.
Unpacking and Inspection
Before installation, please inspect the package. Be sure that nothing inside the package is damaged. You should have received the following
items inside of package:
Precautions :
-The installation must be done with the equipment disconnected from the grid and with the PV modules shaded or isolated.
- Make sure the environmental conditions t the microinveer’s requirement (degree of protection, temperature, humidity, altitude, etc.) as
specied in the Technical Data section.
-Avoid direct sunlight to prevent power derating which can be caused by an increase in the internal temperature of the microinveer.
-Keep the inveer in well-ventilated place to avoid overheating.
-Keep the inveer away from gases or ammable substances.
-Avoid electromagnetic inteerence because it can compromise the normal operation of electronic equipment.
-Install only on structures specically designed for PV modules (supplied by PV modules installer).
