- Attach the input connector to the inverter.
5.3.1 Grounding
Solis recommends two grounding methods: via the grid terminal connector and connecting the external heatsink.
Connect the AC grounding cable as described in section 5.3.3. When connecting the heatsink grounding cable, follow these steps:
- Prepare the grounding cable: It is recommended to use an external copper cable with a diameter of ≥ 16 mm².
- Prepare the OT terminal: M6.
NOTE: B (stripping length) should be 2-3 mm longer than A (crimping area of the OT terminal).
NOTE: After crimping the terminal to the wire, inspect the connection and ensure the terminal is firmly pressed against the wire.
5. Remove the screw from the heatsink grounding point.
6. Connect the grounding cable to the heatsink grounding point and tighten the grounding screw; the torque should be 3-4 N·m (see Figure 5.14).
NOTE: For improved anti-corrosion performance, apply silicone or protective paint after installing the grounding cable.
5.3.2 Connecting the PV Array to the Inverter
Before connecting the inverter, ensure that the open-circuit voltage of the PV array is within the inverter's range.
Before connecting, ensure that the polarity of the PV array output voltage matches the "DC+" and "DC-" symbols.
CAUTION: If the DC inputs are accidentally connected with reverse polarity, or if the inverter is faulty or not operating correctly, do NOT turn off the DC switch, as this may damage the inverter and even cause a fire.
Correct procedure:
- Use a clamp ammeter to measure the DC line current.
- If it exceeds 0.5 A, please wait for the solar irradiation to decrease and the current to drop to 0.5 A.
- Only after the current drops to at least 0.5 A, can you turn off the DC switches and disconnect the PV array lines.
Note that any damage caused by incorrect operation is not covered by the device warranty.
Use appropriate DC cable for the PV system.
Cable Type | Cross-sectional Area (mm²) | Recommended Range |
