Chapter 3 Product Information
3.1 Application Scope of Products
Sunfree series products are hybrid solar inverters without transformers, and the
inverters are important components of energy storage systems.
The Sunfree inverters change the DC generated by solar panels into AC which is in
accordance with the requirements of public grid and send the AC into the grid,
Reduce the load pressure of the grid.
When the grid failure, provide 230V AC source to supply important loads,
achieve off-grid backup power supply function.

4.3.2 Installation Position
Do not expose the inverter to direct solar irradiation as this could cause power
derating due to overheating. The ambient temperature should be between -25°C ～
+60°C（-13° F ～ 140° F）（This temperature range is not equivalent to the
temperature range required by the battery pack）to ensure optimum operation.
Choose locations with sufficient air exchange. Ensure additional ventilation, when
necessary.
To make sure the installation spot is suitably ventilated, if multiple SAJ grid-tie
hybrid solar inverters are installed same area, the following safety clearance in
Figure 4.2 shall be followed for proper ventilation conditions.

Chapter 5 Electrical Connection
5.1 Safety Instruction for Hot-line Job
Electrical connection must only be operated on by professional technicians. Please
keep in mind that the inverter is a bi-power supply equipment. Before connection,
necessary protective equipment must be employed by technicians including
insulating gloves, insulating shoes and safety helmet.
DANGER
· Dangerous to life due to potential fire or electricity shock.
· When power-on, the equipment should in conformity with national rules and regulations.
· The direct connection between the inverter and high voltage power systems must be
operated by qualified technicians in accordance with local and national power grid standards
and regulations.
WARNING
· When the photovoltaic array is exposed to light, it supplies a DC voltage to the inverter.
NOTICE
·Electrical connection should in conformity with proper stipulations, such as stipulations for
cross-sectional area of conductors, fuse and ground protection.
·The overvoltage category on DC input port is II,on AC output port is III.
