Complete each step in order before powering on the system.
| 1. Pre-Installation Preparation | ||
| â–¡ | 1a | Review all manufacturer manuals for the inverter and batteries. |
| â–¡ | 1b | Ensure all necessary permits and local code requirements are met. |
| 2. Mounting the Inverter | ||
| â–¡ | 2a | Choose a location per the manual: ventilated, protected from direct sunlight and rain. |
| â–¡ | 2b | Mount the inverter securely on a stable wall or structure using recommended hardware. |
| â–¡ | 2c | Leave sufficient clearance around the inverter for heat dissipation. |
| 3. Connecting Batteries | ||
| â–¡ | 3a | Verify battery bank voltage matches the inverter’s specifications. |
| â–¡ | 3b | Use appropriately sized cables and ensure all connections are tight. |
| â–¡ | 3c | Connect battery communication cables (if required) according to the manual. |
| â–¡ | 3d | Set any DIP switches on batteries per communication instructions. |
| 4. DC Wiring | ||
| â–¡ | 4a | Connect the battery bank to the inverter’s DC input terminals. |
| â–¡ | 4b | Ensure correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative). |
| □ | 4c | If applicable, Install the appropriate DC fuse or breaker as per system design. Some inverter and battery combo’s require no additional fusing. |
| 5. AC Wiring | ||
| â–¡ | 5a | Connect the inverter’s AC output to the main distribution panel (for backup or off-grid systems). |
| â–¡ | 5b | If hybrid/grid-tied, connect AC input to the grid or generator input. |
| □ | 5c | Follow safety protocols — use qualified personnel if needed. |
| 6. System Configuration | ||
| â–¡ | 6a | Power on the system and follow the inverter’s startup procedure. |
| â–¡ | 6b | Configure settings: battery type, voltage parameters, and grid settings (if applicable). |
| â–¡ | 6c | Connect to monitoring apps (if the inverter is smart/online-capable). |
| 7. Safety & Testing | ||
| â–¡ | 7a | Double-check all connections, ensuring no loose wiring. |
| â–¡ | 7b | Test the system: charge the batteries, confirm inverter output, and test backup (if applicable). |
| â–¡ | 7c | Confirm that system monitoring is functional. |
| 8. Final Checks & Documentation | ||
| â–¡ | 8a | Ensure all safety labels are in place (as required). |
| â–¡ | 8b | Document your settings and configuration for future reference. |
| â–¡ | 8c | Register your system for any warranties or support. |
