Ener gy

Energy is measure d in W h (w at t ho ur s) , kW h (k il ow at t ho ur s) o r MW h (m eg aw at t hours).

Powe r

Power is measured i n W (w at ts ), k W (k il ow at ts ) or M W (m eg aw at ts ). P ow er i s an instantaneous value. It displays the power your inverter is curre nt ly f ee di ng i nt o th e power distribution grid.

Powe r rate

Power rate is the radio of curren t po we r fe ed in g in to t he p ow er d is tr ib ut io n gr id a nd the maximum power of the inverter that can feed into the power distribution grid.

Powe r Fac tor

Power factor is the ratio of true power or watts to apparen t po we r.

2.1 In tended Use

Gro wa tt U E se ri es i nv er te rs a re t o be u se d so le ly t o fe ed s ol ar e ne rg y co nv er te d photovoltaically into the public grid. Grow at t UE s er ie s in ve rt er s ar e mu lt i- st ri ng inverters with multi-MPP trackers, which mean they are ab le t o co nn ec t to d if fe rent PV module arrays. The equipment may only be operated in compliance with its intended use.

Grid-tied PV system Overview:

The in ve rt er ma y only be op er at ed wi th a pe rm an en t c on ne ct io n to th e p ub li c p ow er grid. T he inve rt er is n ot inte nd ed for mobile use.

Da ma ge ca us ed b y s uc h unintended us e i s at th e sole risk of the operator.

As drawings shown above, a complete Grid-tied PV system consists of PV modules, PV inverters, public grid and other components. Moreo ve r, PV inverters always act as key components.

When design a PV system contains Grow at t UE s er ie s in ve rt er s or a ny o th er G ro wa tt inverters, the system designing software Sh in eD es ig n (d ow nl oa d fr om s it e: www.ginverter.c om ) wi ll p rovide adequate supports.

PV modules with large capacities re la ti ve t o ea rt h, s uc h as t hi n- fi lm P V mo du le s wi th cells on a metallic substrate, may only be used if their coupling capacity does not exceed 470nF. Dur in g fe ed -i n op er at io n, a l ea ka ge c ur re nt f lo ws f rom the cells to earth, the size of which depends on the manner in which the PV modules are in st al le d (e.g. foil on metal roo f) a nd o n th e we at he r (r ai n, s no w) .

House grid:

Public grid:

Energy flows into the house grid. The consumers connected, for example, household devices or lighting, consume the energy. Th e en er gy l ef t ov er i s fe d in to t he p ub li c gr id .

Contact installer.

The Gro wa tt i nv er te r is t o be u se d so le ly t o fe ed s ol ar e ne rg y converted photovoltaically into the public grid. The inverter is suitable for mounting indoors and outdoors.

You ca n us e th e AC c ur rent generated as follows:

All operations re ga rd in g tr an sp or t, i ns ta ll at io n an d st ar t- up , including maintenance must be operated by qualified, trained personnel and in compliance with all prev ai li ng c od es a nd reg ul at io ns .

Anytime the inverter has been disconnected from t he p ow er network, use extrem e ca ut io n as s om e co mp on en ts c an r et ai n charge suff ic ie nt t o cr ea te a s ho ck h az ard; to minimize occurren ce of such conditions, comply with all corre sp on di ng s af et y sy mb ol s and markings pres en t on t he u ni t an d in t hi s ma nu al .

In special cases, there m ay s ti ll b e in te rf er en ce f or t he s pe ci fi ed application are a de sp it e ma in ta in in g st an da rd iz ed e mi ss io n li mi t values (e.g. when sensitive equipment is located at the setup location or when the setup location is near radio or television rec ei ve rs ).

Whenever the DC voltage is higher than 350Vdc, inverter converts power to grid as generated by the PV panels;

Whenever the DC voltage is lower than 300Vdc, the inverter will work in waiting state and attempt to connect the grid. In waiting state the inverter consumes just enough power generated by the PV panel to monitor the intern al s ys te m.

Notes: The inverter starts up automatically when DC power fro m th e PV p an el i s suffi ci en t.

In this mode, the inverter works normally and LED turn s green.

1.Tur n on t he A C gr id b re ak er ;

2.Tur n on t he D C switch of t he i nv er te r, and t he i nv er te r will start automatically wh en

the input voltage is higher than 300V.

7.2 Sh ut do wn the In ver ter

1.Tur n of f th e AC g ri d breaker;

2.Tur n of f th e DC s wi tc h of t he i nv er te r.

3.Check the inverter operating state.

4.Until the display of LCD goes out, the inverter is shut down.

8 Maintenance and Cleaning

Once t he ou tp ut po we r i s d er at in g b ec au se of t oo hi gh wa rm in g, so me ti ps ca n help

you solve such prob le ms :

The air grills or cooling fans are cl og ge d. To cl ea n th e ai r gr il ls a nd c oo li ng f an s

please re fe r to 8 .1 C le an in g Fa ns a nd G ri ll s.

One or two cooling fans failed. To exchange the cooling fans please ref er t o 8. 2

Exchanging Fans.

Ventilation of installation location is poor. Cho os e ap propriate installation

location before m ou nt in g.

8.1 Cl eaning Fan s and Grills

Maintain fans and gri ll s ever y half a ye ar to redu ce the pow er der at in g caus ed by

excessive heat.

If fans or gr il ls are jus t cove re d by so ft dus t part ic le s, usi ng too ls suc h as vacuum

cleaner t o cl ea n th e fa ns . An d if user ha s no such tool s or there are ob st ru ct io ns in

6. Remove the shell plane of the top and left side, as Fig8.1.3 1 2 4 5 show.

It's easy to clean the grills on shell plane using water or some tools.

7. Clean the grills on shell planes.

8. Remove and clean the cooling fans.
