2 Installation Requirements
Danger
Before installing, check whether the inverter was damaged during
transportation and ensure that the inverter has no electrical connections.
Danger
Before making any electrical connections, make sure that the photovoltaic
string is covered with opaque materials or the circuit breaker on the DC side
is disconnected. Exposing the photovoltaic string to sunlight will generate
hazardous voltage!
Danger
Before performing any maintenance operations, the following steps must be
followed:
First, disconnect the AC circuit breaker on the grid side, and then
disconnect the DC switch.
Warning
The inverter can only be installed by professional technicians.

Instructions for Installation of Industrial and Commercial Inverters in Different
Scenarios
Caution
Danger of burns!
While the inverter is in operation, only the DC switch can be touched. Never
touch hot parts of the device (such as the radiator) during operation.
Caution
The inverter can be handled manually or by hoisting, depending on site
conditions.
Attention must be paid to the center of gravity of the inverter to avoid tilting
during handling.
When hoisting the inverter, always maintain its balance to avoid collision
with walls or other obstacles. In case of bad weather, such as heavy rain, fog,
or wind, hoisting shall be stopped.
Caution
Poor ventilation in the installation environment will affect system
performance!
The heat sink of the device must not be covered to ensure sufficient
cooling inside the device.
All electrical connections must comply with local and national electrical
standards.
The inverter can be connected to the grid only after obtaining the permission
of the local electricity department.
The inverter can be restarted only after the faults affecting the safety

3.2.2 Precautions
The inverter shall be sited in such a way that the inverter's shadow will not block the
modules under various lighting conditions.
We recommend that you add a sunshade to the inverter to avoid exposure to the sun.
This will increase the yield and extend the life of the inverter.

3.4.2 Precautions
Pay attention to the installation of the floating platform for electrical equipment. Due to
the deadweight of the platform and electrical equipment and the limited water depth on
the shore, it is necessary to select a crane with the right tonnage and lifting radius
according to the site conditions.
During installation, pay attention to protecting the floating platform to avoid collision and
damage to the anticorrosive coating.
The shadow of the photovoltaic modules on the surrounding floating body should be
taken into consideration.
We recommend that you add a sunshade to the inverter to avoid exposure to the sun.
This will increase the yield and extend the life of the inverter.

5 Flat Installation
This mounting method is common in scenarios such as concrete roofs or colored steel
tile roofs of the plant, where the inverter is nearly lying flat. In such cases, the inverter
shall be installed on a flat mounting rack to meet the installation angle requirements.
Flat installation is not suitable for floating power plants.
SUNGROW provides a flat mounting rack. You can order it from SUNGROW if
necessary, or design your own according to the rack requirements.
To order a rack from SUNGROW, please provide the product model or rack code.

6 Sunshade
The top sunshade is suitable for vertical rack mounting and wall-mounting scenarios.
6.1.1 Precautions
In order to ensure good shading, we recommend that the front of the inverter is not
exposed to the sun.
The inverter air outlet may not be blocked.
The sunshade design and selected materials should take wind, rain, snow, shock, and
corrosion resistance into consideration.
The sunshade can be fixed on the beam or wall where the inverter is mounted.

Flat sunshade is applicable to inverters installed flat. It should be mounted at the same
tilt angle as the inverter.
6.2.1 Precautions
The inverter air outlet may not be blocked.
The sunshade design and selected materials should take wind, rain, snow, shock, and
corrosion resistance into consideration.
The sunshade can be fixed on the support beam or base where the inverter is installed.
For ease of maintenance, the sunshade must be designed as a removable structure
and must not be welded to the mounting rack.
