WARNING
• The PE cable connected to the enclosure of the inverter cannot replace the PE cable
connected to the AC output port. Make sure that both of the two PE cables are securely
connected.
• Make sure that all the grounding points on the enclosures are equipotential connected
when there are multiple inverters.
• To improve the corrosion resistance of the terminal, you are recommended to apply silica
gel or paint on the ground terminal after installing the PE cable.
• The PE cable is prepared by the customer. Recommended specications:

6.3 Connecting the PV Input Cable
DANGER
Conrm the following information before connecting the PV string to the inverter. Otherwise,
the inverter may be damaged permanently or even cause re and cause personal and property
losses.
1. Make sure that the max short circuit current and the max input voltage per MPPT are within
the permissible range.
2. Make sure that the positive pole of the PV string connects to the PV+ of the inverter. And the
negative pole of the PV string connects to the PV- of the inverter.
WARNING
• Connect the DC cables using the delivered PV connectors. The manufacturer shall not be
liable for the damage if other connectors are used.
• The PV strings cannot be grounded. Ensure the minimum isolation resistance of the
PV string to the ground meets the minimum isolation resistance requirements before
connecting the PV string to the inverter.
• The DC input cable is prepared by the customer. Recommended specications:
• Type: the outdoor photovoltaic cable that meets the maximum input voltage of the
inverter.

8.3 Upgrading the Firmware Via USB Flash Disk
Step 1 Contact the after-sales service to obtain the upgrade package.
Step 2 Save the upgrade package in the USB ash drive.
Step 3 Insert the USB ash drive into the USB port, and upgrade the software version of the
inverter following the prompts.
8.4 Setting Inverter Parameters via SolarGo App
SolarGo app is a mobile application that communicates with the inverter via Bluetooth module,
WIFi module or GPRS module. Commonly used functions are as follows:
1. Check the operating data, software version, alarms, etc.
2. Set grid parameters, communication parameters, etc.
3. Equipment maintenance.
For more details, refer to the SolarGo APP User Manual. Scan the QR code or visit https://

• Power o the inverter before operations and maintenance. Otherwise, the inverter may be
damaged or electric shocks may occur.
• Delayed discharge. Wait until the components are discharged after power o.
Step 1 (Optional) Send shutdown command to the inverter.
Step 2 Turn o the AC switch between the inverter and the utility grid.
Step 3 Turn o the DC switch of the inverter.
9.2 Removing the Inverter
WARNING
• Make sure that the inverter is powered o.
• Wear proper PPE before any operations.
Step 1 Disconnect all the cables, including DC cables, AC cables, communication cables, the
communication module, and PE cables.
Step 2 Grab the handles or hoist the inveter to remove the inverter from the mounting plate.
Step 3 Remove the mounting plate.
Step 4 Store the inverter properly. If the inverter needs to be used later, ensure that the storage
conditions meet the requirements.
9.3 Disposing of the Inverter
If the inverter cannot work anymore, dispose of it according to the local disposal
requirements for electrical equipment waste. The inverter cannot be disposed of together
with household waste.
9.4 Troubleshooting
Perform troubleshooting according to the following methods. Contact the after-sales service if
these methods do not work.
Collect the information below before contacting the after-sales service, so that the problems can
be solved quickly.
1. Inverter information like serial number, software version, installation date, fault time, fault
frequency, etc.
2. Installation environment, including weather conditions, whether the PV modules are
sheltered or shadowed, etc. It is recommended to provide some photos and videos to assist
in analyzing the problem.
3. Utility grid situation.

Type of faultTroubleshooting
1. Disconnect DC switch, take o DC connector, check the
impedance between PV (+) & PV(-) to earth.
2. If impedance is less than 100 kΩ, please check the insulation of
PV string wiring to earth.
3. If impedance is large than 100 kΩ, please contact local service
oce.

Inverters for the Australian and New Zealand markets can also be
alerted in the following ways in the event of insulation impedance
failure:
1. The inverter is equipped with the buzzer: the buzzer sounds
continuously for 1 minute in case of failure; If the fault is not
resolved, the buzzer sounds every 30 minutes.
2. Add the inverter to the monitoring platform, and set the alarm
reminder, the alarm information can be sent to the customer
by emails.
1. The ground current is too high.
2. Unplug the inputs from the PV generator and check the
peripheral AC system.
3. When the problem is cleared, reconnect the PV panel and check
the Inverter status.
4. Contact local service oce for help if the problem still persist.
1. The PV Inverter will automatically restart within 5 minutes if the
grid returns to normal.
2. Make sure grid voltage conforms with the specication.
3. Make sure neutral (N) wire and PE wire are connected well.
4. Contact local service oce for help if the problem still persist.
1. Grid is not connected.
2. Check grid connection cables.
3. Check availability of grid.
1. Not connect to the grid.
2. Check if the power grid is connected to cable.
3. Check the availability of power grid.
1. Check if the PV open circuit voltage is higher or too close to the
maximum input voltage or not.
2. If the problem still persist when PV voltage is less than the
maximum input voltage, contact local service oce for help.
1. The internal temperature is higher than normal value specied.
2. Reduce ambient temperature.
3. Move the inverter to a cool place.
4. If the problem still exists, contact local service oce for help.
