Installing a Replacement Microinverter
With the silver side of the microinverter facing up and the black side facing down,
attach the replacement microinverter to the PV module racking using hardware
recommended by your module racking vendor.
If you are using grounding washers (e.g., WEEB) to ground the chassis of the
microinverter, the old grounding washer should be discarded, and a new grounding
washer must be used when installing the replacement microinverter. Torque the
microinverter fasteners to the values below.

Energize the branch circuit breaker, and verify operation of the replacement
microinverter by checking the indicator light on the underside of the microinverter.
