This manual contains important instructions for model:

ACS-500

The SOLECTRIA ACS 500 AC-Coupled Storage System comprises a factory- integrated set of US-

manufactured and factory-integrated components that form the core of the system: 3 XGI 1500

Inverters, DCB1500-500 DC Bus De-Combiner, ACC1500-500 AC Combiner, and the Plant Master

Controller (PMC). The storage system is complete with the addition of customer-selected

battery system with enclosure, safety elements and controls.

This manual provides instructions for the operation of the ACS-500 AC Coupled Storage System.

In addition, please read all instructions and warnings for the associated component equipment

in their respective manuals.

This manual contains important instructions for operation of the ACS-500 AC-Coupled Storage

System. To reduce the risk of electrical shock and to ensure the safe operation of the system,

the following safety symbols are used to indicate dangerous conditions and important safety

instructions.
