-Setup the battery bank

The inverter in this system requires a 24V battery bank for running.

With 2 pieces of batteries, the connection should be:

Connect 2 batteries in series to form a 24V battery bank. Method: hook 

up each battery’s positive terminal to the other’s negative terminal.

The diagram as below:

-Connect solar charge controller with battery

The solar charge controller should be put indoor. After the battery bank 

setup accomplished, wire the controller with battery bank. The controller 

has 3 parts of ports, middle ports are for connecting with battery.

Wiring method: Use the controller-battery cable for connection, battery 

+ port to one battery’s positive terminal, battery - port to the other’s neg-

ative terminal
