Connecting the PV Array

Destruction of the inverter due to overvoltage

If the open-circuit voltage of the PV modules exceeds the maximum input voltage of the inverter, the 
inverter can be destroyed by the overvoltage.

• If the open-circuit voltage of the PV modules exceeds the maximum input voltage of the inverter, 

do not connect any PV strings to the inverter and check the design of the PV plant.

2. If the ESS is plugged in, remove the ESS.

3. Remove the filler plugs from all the DC inputs on 

the inverter.

5. Connect the assembled DC connectors to the 

inverter.
