GRID CONNECT SOLAR USER MANUAL 

 
 
 
 

 

 

 
 
 
 
Solar systems work best when the sun is shining directly down on the panels and the 
ambient temperature is cooler. The panels will still generate power as long as there 
is enough ambient light even on cloudy days. It will shut itself down over night once 

there isn’t enough 

light to keep the inverter running and start itself up in the 

morning. The inverter has an inbuilt mechanism called ‘anti

-

islanding’ which stops it 

from working once there grid voltage or frequency is out of order, this helps prevent 
any faults or spikes arising which could damage the inverter or sensitive equipment 
you have, it also prevents anyone working on the power lines from an electric shock.
