1. Safety Instructions
1. Risk of Electric Shock:
Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC) sources
are terminated in this device. To prevent risk of electric
shock during maintenance or installation please ensure
that all AC and DC terminals are disconnected.
2. Handling your PV-Inverter:
The PV-Inverter should only be handled by qualified
service personnel. When the PV-panel is exposed to
sunlight and connected to the device, it generates a DC
voltage charging the DC link capacitors.
After disconnecting the PV-Inverter from the power supply
and PV-panel, electrical charge can still reside in the DC
link capacitors. Qualified personnel should allow at least 60
minutes after disconnecting, before handling the device.
3. Public Utility only:
The PV-Inverter is designed to feed AC power directly to
the public utility power grid. Do not connect the AC-output
of this device to any private AC equipment.
4. Beware of Hot Surfaces:
Although designed to meet international safety standards,
the PV- Inverter can become hot during operation. Do not
touch the heat-sink or peripheral surfaces during or shortly
after operation.

2. Limited Warranty
The 6000 PV-Inverter comes with a 5 year warranty. An optional
extended warranty may be available by special request before delivery.
This warranty covers all defects due to design, manufacturing and
components. This warranty does not cover damages resulting from:
Improper transportation and delivery
Improper installation
Unauthorized modification, testing or repairing
Usage beyond that described in this manual
Application beyond the scope of safety standards such as VDE,
UL etc.
Acts of nature, such as lightening, fire, storm etc.
Repairs and/or replacement of parts or the device are made at the
manufacturers discretion. Defective parts or malfunction discovered
during installation should be presented in a written report for
confirmation before applying for replacement or repair. The damage
report must be issued within 5 working days after receiving the
PV-Inverter. MPP SOLAR is not responsible for damages beyond the
scope of this warranty.

3. Overview
3.1. Introducing the Grid PV System
The Grid PV System is mainly composed of 4 parts: the PV-panels, the
PV-Inverter, the AC-Connection Unit (the connection Interface) and a
connection to the Public Utility.
When a PV-panel is exposed to sunlight and connected to an inverter, it
generates DC power. The PV-Inverter converts DC to AC and feeds in
to the Public Utility via the AC-Connection unit.

3.2. Introducing the Grid PV System
6000 Inverter
(1) Connection Panel: The connection panel contains DC and AC
terminals, and communication ports as detailed below.
(2) Heat-sink: Part to dissipate heat produced by the inverter
(3) 3 pairs of DC-input terminals: Each input pair consists of positive
and negative terminals. Refer to Installation Section for set-up
information.
(4) AC-Output: Delivering AC to the Public Utility.
(5) Optional Communication Slot and Cover: An optional port to
extend the communication interface, for example connecting an
RS485 card. The port is protected by a water-proof cover.
(6) RS232 Port: Interface allows communication with computer with
RS232 serial port.
(7) LCD Display: Device to display inverter operation status.

3.3. Front Panel LEDs
There are 2 LED’s on Grid tied 6000, one is green and the other is
red. Normally, only the green LED will turn on during operation.
Their indicated status are explained as follows:
Power on (green LED): It lights when Inverter
is running. The only
condition it will be dark is no power provided to
inverter. In
this case, Inverter
is in shutdown mode.
Fault (red LED): Once the LED lights, it means inverter is in “fault”
or “failure” condition. To see the conditions, please refer to section

1. Choose a dry place, out of direct sunlight with ambient
temperature between 0 and 40°C.
2. Select a wall or solid, vertical surface which is strong enough to
support the inverter.
3. The PV-Inverter requires adequate cooling space for heat
dispersal. Reserve at least 20 cm above and below the inverter.
