  2. Parallel communication port

Mounting the Unit

When installing multiple units, please follow below chart.

NOTE: For proper air circulation to dissipate heat, it’s necessary to allow a clearance of approx. 20 cm to the side and approx. 50 cm above and below the unit. Be sure to install each unit in the same level.

Wiring Connection

The cable size of each inverter is shown as below:
Recommended battery cable and terminal size for each inverter:

Wire SizeRin TerminalTorque value
Cable mm2Dimensions
D (mm)L (mm)
234.8.43.7~12 Nm

WARNING: Be sure the length of all battery cables is the same. Otherwise, there will be voltage difference between inverter and battery to cause parallel inverters not working.
Recommended AC input and output cable size for each inverter:

AWG no. Conductor cross sectionTorque 
10~8 AWG5.5~10 mm 21.4~1.6Nm

You need to connect the cables of each inverter together. Take the battery cables for example. You need to use a connector or bus-bar as a joint to connect the battery cables together, and then connect to the battery terminal. The cable size used from joint to battery should be X times cable size in the tables above. “X” indicates the number of inverters connected in parallel. Regarding cable size of AC input and output, please also follow the same principle.
CAUTION!! Please install a breaker at the battery side. This will ensure the inverter can be securely disconnected during maintenance and fully protected from overcurrent of battery.

Recommended breaker specification of battery for each inverter:
One unit*
200A/60VDC

*If you want to use only one breaker at the battery side for the whole system, the rating of the breaker should be X times current of one unit. “X” indicates the number of inverters connected in parallel.

Setting and LCD Display Setting Program:

The parallel function setting is only available in Solar Power or Solar Power Pro software.
Please install software in your PC first.
For setting, you can set the inverter one by one through USB port.

  • Use USB to synchronize the parameters:
    Parallel for output: Enable/Disable

Commissioning

Step 1: Check the following requirements before commissioning:
• Make sure all wires correctly connected.
• Ensure all breakers in Line wires of load side are open and each Neutral wire of each unit is connected together.
Step 2: Turn on each unit and set “enable parallel for output” on Solar Power or Solar Power Pro. And then, shut down all units.
Step 3: Turn on each unit.

NOTE: Master and slave units are randomly defined. Warning 02 is AC GRID voltage low.
Step 4: Switch on all AC breakers of Line wires in AC input. It’s better to have all inverters connected to utility at the same time. If not, it will display fault 82 in the slave inverters. However, these inverters will automatically restart. If detecting AC connection, they will work normally.

Step 5: If there is no more fault alarm, the parallel system is completely installed.
Step 6: Please switch on all breakers of Line wires in load side. This system will start to provide power to the load.

Trouble shooting

SituationSolution
Fault CodeFault Event Description
60Current feedback into the inverter is detected.1.Restart the inverter.
2.Check if L1/L2/N cables are not connected with wrong sequence in all inverters.
3.Make sure the sharing cables are connected to all inverters.
4.If the problem remains, please contact your installer.
