SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Before installing or using a Plug-In Solar kit, please read all instructions and cautionary markings in this document and on the Micro-Inverters and Solar Panels.

The installation of a Plug-In Solar kit shall be carried out by a competent person with sufficient skills and training to apply safe methods of work, in compliance with G83/2 Engineering Recommendations.

The installation of a Plug-In Solar kit will be carried out to no lower a standard than that required in the Manufacturer’s installation instructions, as provided here.

No parameter relating to the electrical connection and subject to type verification certification will be modified unless previously agreed in writing between the DNO (Distribution Network Operator) and the Customer.

All electrical installations shall be performed in accordance with local electrical codes.

All appropriate health and safety regulations must be observed and required safety precautions taken.

Be aware that installation of this equipment includes the risk of electric shock.

Be aware that the body of the Micro-Inverter is the heat sink and can reach a temperature of 80°C. To reduce risk of burns, do not touch the body of the Micro-Inverter.

DO NOT disconnect the PV module from the Micro-Inverter without first disconnecting the AC power. !In no circumstances, connect a DC input when an AC connector is unplugged.

DO NOT attempt to repair a Micro-Inverter. If it fails, contact Hoymiles Customer Support to obtain an RMA number and start the replacement process. Damaging or opening a Micro-Inverter will void the warranty.

CAUTION! !The external protective earthing conductor is connected to the micro-inverter protective earthing terminal via an AC connector. !When connecting; connect the AC connectors first to ensure the micro-inverter earthing then undertake the DC connections. When disconnecting; disconnect the AC by opening the branch circuit breaker. Whilst maintaining the protective earthing conductor in the branch circuit breaker, connect to the micro-inverter, then disconnect the DC inputs. !

You MUST follow the IET Wiring Regulations at all times and consult a professional electrician if you are in any doubt.

Page 6

WARNINGS

Never disconnect the DC wire connectors under load. Ensure that no current is flowing in the DC wires prior to disconnecting. An opaque covering may be used to cover the module prior to disconnecting the module.

Do not touch any live parts in the system, including the Solar array, when the system has been connected to the electrical grid.

Prior to installing any of the Micro-Inverters, verify that the utility voltage at the point of common connection matches the voltage rating on Micro-Inverter label.

Do not mount the Micro-Inverter in a location that allows exposure to direct sunlight. Allow a minimum of 3/4’’(1.5cm.) between the roof and the bottom of the Micro-Inverter to allow proper airflow.

Always disconnect AC power before disconnecting the PV module wires from the Micro-Inverter. The AC connector of the first Micro-Inverter in a branch circuit is suitable, as a disconnecting means, once the AC branch circuit breaker in the load center has been opened.

The Micro-Inverter is powered by PV module DC power. Make sure you disconnect and reconnect the DC connections to watch for the five short flashes.

SOLAR PANEL INSTALLATION

When installing the solar panels included in your Plug-In Solar Kit, you must abide by a number of safety requirements:

Do not operate solar panels near highly flammable gas !and vapors (e.g. gas tanks, gas stations). ! Do not install solar panels in enclosed space. !

Do not install solar panels in locations where they may be !submerged in water. ! Do not use solar panels as a substitute for normal !roofing (solar panels are not watertight).

Do not install solar panels in close proximity to air conditioning !systems.

Do not install solar panels above 4000 m (13120 ft) altitude !above sea level. !

Do not allow any chemical substance (e.g. oil, solvent !etc.) to come into contact with any part of the solar panels.

The solar panel operating temperature must be between –40 °C to +85 °C (–40 °F to +185 °F).

Prevent solar panel shadowing. Optimal solar irradiation leads to maximum energy output. Install the solar panels so that they face !the sun.

Avoid shadowing (due to objects such as buildings, !chimneys or trees).

Avoid partial shading (for example through overhead !lines, dirt, snow). !

Ensure you conform to the necessary structural requirements where you are installing the solar panels. !

Ensure the solar panels are properly fastened to the ground, the roof, or the facade, using the mounts provided.!

Ensure sufficient rear ventilation of the module. ! Follow grounding procedures set out in the roof mount installation manual.

WIRING THE SOLAR TO THE EXISITING MAINS CIRCUIT

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION – FOR YOUR PROTECTION

Before installation please read these instructions carefully and use the Plug-In Solar Connection Unit in accordance with these safety wiring instructions.

In older houses, you may find a variety of old fuse boxes where the mains supply comes in. You may also have wiring and fittings of an older style. These may not be up to the standard required today. If this is the case, have it all checked and tested by a professional electrician BEFORE carrying out any work on it. Some old installations may now be dangerous.

Electricity is dangerous. Always disconnect from mains supply before any inspection or repair to equipment. Safety must always be given top priority. Do not allow children to tamper with electrical devices.

ALWAYS FOLLOW THE IET WIRING REGULATIONS.

You must NOT install the Plug-In Solar Connection Unit in the following locations as set out by Part P:

(a) within a room containing a bath or shower, the space surrounding a bath tap or shower head, where the space extends —

(i) vertically from the finished floor level to —

(aa) a height of 2.25 metres; or

(bb) the position of the shower head where it is attached to a wall or ceiling at a point higher than 2.25 metres from that level; and

(ii) horizontally —

(aa) where there is a bath tub or shower tray, from the edge of the bathtub or shower

tray to a distance of 0.6 metres; or

(bb) where there is no bath tub or shower tray, from the centre point of the shower

head where it is attached to the wall or ceiling to a distance of 1.2 metres; or

(b) a room containing a swimming pool or sauna heater.

As an additional precaution, wear rubber-soled shoes. This will provide a measure of insulation between you and the ground!

IF YOU ARE NOT ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN ABOUT ANY ASPECT OF ELECTRICAL WORK, SEEK PROFESSIONAL ADVICE

1.1. Switch off the power and remove the fuse for the relevant circuit before carrying out any

work, or inspecting, either it, or the appliances connected to it. Never inspect, or carry out work on, any part of the system with the power on. Make sure that power cannot be inadvertently restored by someone else.

1.2. Use a voltage tester to check the power to the wires or connections are off before touching

them.

Page 20

1.3. Once the power is disconnected, wire the Plug-In Solar Connection Unit using the following

instructions.

Wire Identification (if in doubt consult a qualified electrician)

EARTH – Green and Yellow Sleeving

LIVE – Red or Brown

NEUTRAL – Blue or Black

a) If using the Plug-In Solar Connection Unit to replace an old socket (or similar), note the cable

connections and wire up the Plug-In Solar Connection Unit the same way as the replaced item, with earthing as stated in these instructions.

b) Route the cable through the appropriate entry point of the mounting box (this is usually at the rear).

c) Cables should be prepared so sufficient conductor length reaches the terminals. Strip the ends of

the individual conductors so that an adequate length enters the terminals.

d) Carefully arrange the wiring to lie along the edges of the product or box, keeping the central area

clear.

e) Wire the Plug-In Solar Connection Unit using the following diagram (a larger version can be found in

Appendix 1):

f) When connecting the Plug-In Solar Connection Unit ensure that only the bare end of the wire enters

the terminal, and no bare wires are visible. Always tighten the terminal screws, but don’t over tighten. An earth connection should always be made between the mounting box earth terminal and the fused connection unit terminal. If the earth wire is bare, it must be sleeved with appropriate green/yellow sleeving.

g) If you are in any doubt about connecting this product consult a qualified electrician.

1.4. Wiring insulation tests should be completed to avoid misleading instrument readings and

possible internal damage to the unit. Check your work thoroughly before restoring power to the circuit. If you are not certain, seek professional advice.

1.5. Once power has been restored, after around a two minute initialisation time, your Plug-In

Solar kit will be feeding FREE electricity into your mains circuit.

Page 21

ISOLATION/ISOLATOR REQUIREMENTS

Under G83/2 requirements, it must be possible to isolate a Plug-In Solar kit from the from the DNO’s Distribution System, using a Double Pole Isolator. This is the function of the Plug-In Solar Connection Unit.

The Plug-In Solar Connection Unit, is a double pole Switched Fused Connection Unit, that adheres to British Standard BS1363-4, and offers on load isolation from the grid.

G83/2 regulations also state that the Plug-In Solar Connection Unit is lockable in the OFF position only. This ensures isolation under maintenance. The Fuse carrier of the Plug-In Solar Connection Unit can be locked open (the OFF position), as per the image below, in order to meet this requirement (padlock not provided).

Page 22

PLACING WARNING LABELS

When installing a Plug-In Solar kit you must place labelling at the Plug-In Solar Connection Unit, Existing Consumer Unit and at all points of isolation between the Plug-In Solar Connection Unit and the Solar Panels within your premises. This is to indicate the presence of a Small Scale Embedded Generation installation (SSEG). The labelling should fixed in place to ensure that it remains legible and secure for the lifetime of the installation. The following labels must be used and have been provided with your Plug-In Solar kit.

Dual supply labelling should be placed at the Plug-In Solar Connection Unit between the PV system and Existing Consumer Unit to indicate the presence of on-site generation and indicating the position of the main A.C switch disconnector.

An APS Inverter should be labelled stating "Inverter - isolate A.C. and D.C. before carrying out work". The Micro-Inverters also have this warning label as standard.

An AC isolator Label should be placed next to the Plug-In Solar Connection Unit and all other AC switches/disconnects (if applicable). ON and OFF positions should be clearly labelled.

To ensure the Fire and Rescue Service are aware that Solar is installed on the roof the following sign shall also be fitted next to the

existing consumer unit in the building. You do not need this label for Ground Mount systems.

In addition to this safety labelling, you must also display an electrical schematic diagram next to the existing consumer unit in the property. You will have been provided with an electrical schematic diagram relevant to your kit, but can see an example in Appendix 3. Please note the diagram in Appendix 3 is non-prescriptive and is for illustrative purposes only.

Page 23

INSPECTING AND TESTING YOUR PLUG-IN SOLAR INSTALLATION

As part of the G83/2 on-site commissioning tests you shall carry out a functional check of the loss of mains protection, for example by removing the supply to the Plug-In Solar kit during operation and checking that the Plug-In Solar Connection Unit operates to disconnect the Plug-In Solar Kit from the DNO’s Distribution System.

In the UK the installation of a Plug-In Solar Kit is considered non-notifiable electrical work under Part P of the Building Regulations 2013, as it is an alteration to an existing installation (the mains grid).

“Regulation 12(6A) sets out electrical installation work that is notifiable. All other electrical installation work is not notifiable – namely additions and alterations to existing installations outside special locations, and replacements, repairs and maintenance anywhere.”

Installation of a non-notifiable Plug-In Solar kit should still be designed, installed, inspected, tested and certificated in accordance with BS 7671.

For more information on how to do this, you can find a copy of Part P building regulations here:

http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/uploads/br/BR_PDF_AD_P_2013.pdf

Page 24

COMMISSIONING YOUR PLUG-IN SOLAR INSTALLATION

Once you have installed, inspected and tested your Plug-In Solar kit, it is a requirement that you complete and return a G83/2 SSEG Installation Commissioning Confirmation Form to your District Network Operator (DNO) within 28 days.

Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) own and operate the distribution network of towers and cables that bring electricity from the national transmission network to homes and businesses. They don’t sell electricity to consumers, this is done by the electricity suppliers. Informing the DNO of your installation allows them to manage the grid more effectively.

There are 9 different DNO’s across the UK, so you must make sure you submit your form to the correct DNO in your area. You can find your DNO by entering your postcode using this website:

https://www.ssepd.co.uk/Whoismynetworkoperator/

Once you have identified your DNO you must download a G83/2 SSEG Installation Commissioning Confirmation Form from their website (or request that they e-mail one to you).

Completing G83/2 SSEG Installation Commissioning Confirmation Form

An example G83/2 Commissioning Confirmation Form can be found in Appendix 2 of this Installation Manual. Please note G83/2 forms differ between DNO’s, this is an example only.

The G83/2 SSEG Installation Commissioning Confirmation Form is relatively self-explanatory, however there are a number of sections that you must complete correctly:

SSEG Installation Address Details Section

A Meter Point Administration Number, also (MPAN), is a 21-digit reference used in the UK to uniquely identify electricity supply points. You must correctly fill in your own MPAN in this section of the form.

Your MPAN can be found on your electricity bill and often looks like the image on the left.

SSEG Details Section

Within the SSEG Details section of the form, fill in the details of your installation. The capacity will be the size of the Plug-In Solar kit you purchased, i.e. 1kW. The Primary Energy Source must always be filled as ‘Solar PV’. If you have any existing SSEG’s (e.g. wind/solar) you must also declare these here.

SSEG Installer Details Section

As Plug-In Solar kits are DIY, self installed solar systems you should complete this section as the installer. In the Accreditation/Qualification section you should fill this in as ‘N/A (Self-Installed)’, unless you have an appropriate accreditation. This section of the form also needs to be signed.

Page 25

Along with the completed G83/2 SSEG Installation Commissioning Confirmation Form, you must also supply the DNO with the following:

1. An electrical schematic diagram for your installation (A relevant electrical schematic diagram will be

provided with your Plug-In Solar Kit). An example can be seen in Appendix 3.

2. A copy of the G83/2 SSEG Test Report Certificate for the Micro-Inverters (This can be found in

Appendix 7)

3. A photograph of your existing electricity meter (be sure to include the make and model of the meter)

Email/Fax/Post the information above to your DNO using the contact supplied on the Commissioning Form. Do not send it to Plug-In Solar, we cannot apply to the DNO on your behalf.

When the DNO has received your form and it has been processed, you will get a confirmation email/letter to say it has been accepted.

Notifying the DNO of changes to a Plug-In Solar kit

If during the lifetime of the Plug-In Solar kit it is necessary to replace a major component of the Plug-In Solar kit, it is only necessary to notify the DNO if the operating characteristics of the Plug-In Solar kit or the Plug-In Solar Connection Unit have been altered when compared against the unit that was originally commissioned.

Notifying the DNO of the decommissioning of a Plug-In Solar kit

In the event that a Plug-In Solar kit is to be decommissioned and will no longer operate as a source of electrical energy in parallel with the DNO’s Distribution System, you must notify the DNO by completing a G83/2 SSEG Decommissioning Confirmation Form. Please contact your DNO for a copy of this form.

Page 26

COMPLETING YOUR WARRANTY CARD

In order to fulfill the requirements of the manufacturers, you must complete Warranty Cards for the Micro-Inverters, which provide system information and installation maps to Hoymiles. A Warranty Card can be found in Appendix 6.

Each Micro-Inverter has serial number labels affixed. Once the inverters are installed, please peel one of the labels off each Micro-Inverter and affix them to the warranty card.

Fill in the warranty card with each of the labels according to the layout on the roof/ground. The DC inputs are identified by A and B. The left input is A and the right one is B, as shown below.
