GRID CONNECT SOLAR USER MANUAL

INTRODUCTION

 

 

Thank you for choosing Eco Tech Electrical to install your PV solar system. By choosing to 
install solar you are offsetting green house gas emissions which when in a surplus are 
detrimental to the environment and atmosphere. 

 

  

1.1     

Installation process 

 
To start the process once you have accepted the quote, Eco Tech Electrical will send 
off all relevant documents to Power and Water, the building certifier and engineer 
while you send off a Power Purchase Agreement document to your retailer. Once 
these documents are sent we can start the install as these systems (class 1 or 2) are 
pre-approved through Power and Water. 
 
 
On the day of install our qualified installers would have explained to you the 
location/s of the array/s where the inverter or envoy is to be located, any variations 
in the job and a rough time frame of the install. Your electricity meter will most likely 
have to be swapped to a new bi-directional smart meter to register kilowatt-hours 
that are imported and exported between the grid and your premises, along with a 
lockable main switch at your meter box which is a national roll out in the NT. Once 
completed and commissioned the electrician will answer any questions you may 
have and show you how to use/monitor your new system via the screen on the 
inverter and/or the online app. 
 
After the install we will assign you an account and link you to the online portal so 
you can monitor your system remotely via your phone or tablet. In the mean time 
you will receive a certificate of compliance, commissioning sheet, warranty sheets, 
engineering specifications and this manual.
