- Ensure the ambient temperature is within the inverter's operating range.
5.2 Wiring Connections
The inverter features dual photovoltaic inputs and a CT anti-backflow interface. Follow the steps below for wiring:
- DC Input (PV): Connect your solar panel strings to the PV1 and PV2 input terminals. Each channel supports up to 18A. Ensure the DC voltage from your solar array remains within the MPPT voltage range (60-450Vdc) and does not exceed the maximum DC voltage of 500Vdc.
- AC Output: Connect the inverter's AC output to your household loads or the utility grid.
- CT Interface: Install the high-precision current transformer (CT) as per the diagram to monitor grid current and prevent reverse feeding.
- Grounding: Ensure the inverter is properly grounded according to local electrical codes.
6. Operation
6.1 Initial Startup
- After all connections are secure, switch on the DC isolator for the solar panels.
- Switch on the AC breaker from the utility grid.
- The inverter will perform a self-test and then begin operation, indicated by the LCD display.
6.2 LCD Settings
The inverter features an LCD display and buttons for configuring various parameters, including input voltage range for appliances/PCs and grid connection settings. Refer to the on-screen menu for navigation and adjustments.
6.3 WiFi Monitoring (Optional)
If your inverter is equipped with the WiFi module, follow the instructions provided with the module to connect it to your local network. Download the PVguarder APP or access the PVguarder Web portal for real-time monitoring of your system's performance, energy generation, and status.
7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your inverter.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the inverter's exterior and ventilation openings to prevent dust buildup, which can affect cooling. Use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners.
- Connection Checks: Annually, inspect all electrical connections (DC and AC) for tightness and signs of corrosion. Ensure all cables are intact and not damaged.
- Environmental Check: Ensure the installation environment remains free from obstructions, excessive heat, or moisture.
- Performance Monitoring: Regularly check the inverter's performance data via the LCD or WiFi monitoring system to identify any anomalies.
8. Troubleshooting
This section provides solutions for common issues you might encounter with your inverter.
- Inverter Not Starting: Check DC input voltage from solar panels. Ensure AC grid connection is present and stable. Verify all circuit breakers are ON.
- Low Power Output: Inspect solar panels for shading or dirt. Check DC input voltage and current. Ensure MPPT voltage range is met.
- Overload Protection Triggered: Reduce the load connected to the inverter. Check for short circuits in the AC wiring. The inverter has overload protection and will auto-restart once the condition is cleared.
- Over Temperature Warning: Ensure adequate ventilation around the inverter. Clean any dust from vents. Reduce ambient temperature if possible.
- Short Circuit Protection: Disconnect all loads and check for short circuits in the AC output wiring. The inverter will protect itself and attempt to restart.
- No Grid Connection: Check utility grid status. Verify AC wiring and CT interface connection.
