Safety notice
Check that no tools, wires or similar equipment are placed on the case of
the Sunny Boy 700 during operation.
On top of the device you can find the heat sink of the Sunny Boy with po-
tential temperatures of over 80 °C. Danger of burning.
First switching on
If the correct polarity and an admissible level of PV-panel voltage have been con-
firmed in the measurement (see chapter 3.3.2) remove the seals from the snap cable
connectors at each end of the PV-panel cable.
•
Mount these to the Sunny Boy until they have full contact. As soon as the PV-
panel has been connected via the Multi-Contact
®
plug connectors, internal
PV-panel voltage is on.
•
Connect the grid voltage by closing the circuit breaker of the supply lead.
If the input voltage is high enough the Sunny Boy should start to feed inverted PV
power fully automatically to the grid, once enough power is coming from the PV-
modules.
The design of the Sunny Boy makes sure that its internal consumption is as low as
possible. The Sunny Boy requires a maximum 4 W internal consumption which it
takes from the PV-panel.
If you measure the voltage coming from the PV-modules you must keep in mind the
inverter’s internal consumption that will have an effect on your measurement with
lower solar radiation. The open circuit voltage of the PV-panel will therefore not be
