Grounding Considerations

This microinverter is a Class I equipment with a basic isolation transformer, and this microinverter must be earthed. There is an earth wire inside the AC cable, so usually grounding can be done by directly using this wire. If the utility has any special requirements, grounding can be done by affixing the mounting bracket to the racking.

Preparation

Installation of this equipment is carried out based on the system design and the place in which the equipment is installed.

Installation must be carried out with the equipment disconnected from the grid (power disconnect switch on) and with the PV modules shaded or isolated.
Refer to the Technical Data to ensure that the environmental conditions fit the requirements of the microinverter (degree of protection, temperature, humidity, altitude, etc.)
To avoid power de-rating due to an increase in the internal temperature of the microinverter, do not expose it to direct sunlight.
To avoid overheating, always make sure that the air flow around the microinverter is not blocked.
Do not install in places where gases or flammable substances may be present.
Avoid electromagnetic interference that can compromise the correct operation of electronic equipment.

When choosing the installation position, comply with the following conditions:

Only install on structures specifically conceived for PV modules (supplied by installation technicians).
Install the microinverter underneath the PV modules to make sure that it operates in a shaded or shadowed environment. If this condition cannot be met, it may trigger the microinverter production de-rating.
