5.5 Connections of the Inverter
PV String Connection
Ø
The inverter has a couple of PV connectors which can be connected in series into 2-
strings PV modules. Please select PV modules with excellent function and reliable
quality. Open circuit voltage of module array connected should be
＜
Max.DC (table as
follow) input voltage, and operating voltage should be within the MPPT voltage
range.
Table 3 Max. DC Voltage Limitation
Max.DC Voltage
600V
WARNING!
PV module voltage is very high which belongs to dangerous voltage
range, please comply with the electric safety rules when connecting.
WARNING!
Please do not make PV positive or negative ground!
NOTE!
Please follow the requirements of PV modules as below:
Same type; Same quantity; Identical alignment; Identical tilt.
In order to save cable and reduce the DC loss, we suggest installing
the inverter near PV modules.

DANGER!
Danger to life due to high voltages on DC conductors.
When exposed to sunlight,the PV array generates dangerous DC
voltage which is present in the DC conductors.Touching the DC
conductors can lead to lethal electric shocks.
Cover the PV modules.
Do not touch the DC conductors.
