1. Introduction
This hybrid PV inverter can provide power to connected loads by utilizing PV power,
utility power and battery power.
Figure 1 Basic hybrid PV System Overview
Depending on different power situations, this hybrid inverter is designed to generate
continuous power from PV solar modules (solar panels), battery, and the utility. When
MPP input voltage of PV modules is within acceptable range (see specification for the
details), this inverter is able to generate power to feed the grid (utility) and charge
battery. This inverter is only compatible with PV module types of single crystalline and
poly crystalline. Do not connect any PV array types other than these two types of PV
modules to the inverter. Do not connect the positive or negative terminal of the solar
panel to the ground. See Figure 1 for a simple diagram of a typical solar system with this
hybrid inverter.
Note: By following the EEG standard, every inverter sold to German area is not allowed
to charge battery from Utility. The relevant function is automatically disabled by the
software.

the side and approx. 50 cm above and below the unit.
Dusty conditions on the unit may impair the performance of this inverter.
The ambient temperature should be between 0°C and 40°C and relative humidity
should be between 5% and 85% to ensure optimal operation.
The recommended installation position is to be adhered to vertical.
For proper operation of this inverter, please use appropriate cables for grid
connection.
The pollution degree of the inverter is PD2. Select an appropriate mounting
location. Install the solar inverter in a protected area that is dry, free of excessive
dust and has adequate air flow. Do NOT operate it where the temperature and
humidity is beyond the specific limits. (Please check the specs for the limitations.)
Installation position shall not prevent access to the disconnection means.
This inverter is designed with IP20 for indoor applications only.
Regularly clean the fan filter.
4-2. Mounting Unit
Installation to the wall should be implemented with the proper screws. After that, the
device should be bolted on securely.
The inverter only can be used in a CLOSED ELECTRICAL OPERATING AREA. Only service
person can enter into this area.
WARNING!! Remember that this inverter is heavy! Please be carefully when lifting out
from the package.

6. PV Module (DC) Connection
CAUTION: Before connecting to PV modules, please install separately a DC circuit
breaker between inverter and PV modules.
NOTE1: Please use 1000VDC/20A circuit breaker.
NOTE2: The overvoltage category of the PV input is II.
Please follow below steps to implement PV module connection:
Step 1: Check the input voltage of PV array modules. The acceptable input voltage of the
inverter is 350VDC - 900VDC. This system is only applied with two strings of PV array.
Please make sure that the maximum current load of each PV input connector is 18.6A.
Step 2: Disconnect the circuit breaker and switch off the DC switch.
Step 3: Assemble provided PV connectors with PV modules by the following below steps.
Components for PV connectors and Tools:
Female connector housing
Female terminal
Male connector housing
Male terminal
CAUTION: Exceeding the maximum input voltage can destroy the unit!! Check the
system before wire connection.
WARNING: Because this inverter is non-isolated, only three types of PV modules are
acceptable: single crystalline and poly crystalline with class A-rated and CIGS modules.
To avoid any malfunction, do not connect any PV modules with possibility of leakage
current to the inverter. For example, grounded PV modules will cause leakage current to
the inverter. When using CIGS modules, please be sure NOT grounding.
CAUTION: It’s requested to have PV junction box with surge protection. Otherwise, it
will cause inverter damage when lightning occurs on PV modules.

Step 4: Check correct polarity of connection cable from PV modules and PV input
connectors. Then, connect positive pole (+) of connection cable to positive pole (+) of
PV input connector. Connect negative pole (-) of connection cable to negative pole (-) of
PV input connector.
WARNING! It's very important for system safety and efficient operation to use
appropriate cable for PV module connection. To reduce risk of injury, please use the
proper recommended cable size as below.
