Installation
Chapter 2 provides information about installing the GT Inverter. It contains
information on determining a suitable location for installation, PV array
requirements, and procedures for mounting the unit.
Installation Options
The GT Inverter may be installed as a single inverter for a single PV array of one
to three PV strings (an external fuse box is required when three PV strings are
connected), or in a multiple inverter configuration for multiple PV arrays.
If multiple inverters are used, each inverter must be wired to an independent PV
array.
Communications between inverters can be enabled by installing network cabling
to the inverter RJ45 ports. See “Connecting Network Cable Between Multiple
Inverters” on page 3–15.
Planning the Installation
Ensure that you have obtained all permits required by local authorities or utilities
before beginning installation.
Inverter Location
WARNING: Burn hazard
Do not install in a location where people can accidentally come into contact with the front
of the inverter. High temperatures can be present on the face of the inverter, causing a
potential burn hazard.
In extreme conditions, the GT Inverter chassis can reach temperatures over 70° C
(158° F), which can cause skin burns if accidentally touched. Ensure that the GT Inverter
is located away from normal traffic areas.
