Installation Procedure
STEP 6
Connect the PV modules to solar micro-inverters
The Plugreen Installation Map is a diagrammatic representation of the physical location of each Plugreen
Solar micro-inverter in your PV installation. Plugreen creates this map from information that you provide in
a system map. You can use the blank map in the Appendix to record solar micro-inverter placement for
your system. When your map is complete, send it to Plugreen as described below. Plugreen then uses this
information to provide you with detailed information about the performance of your PV system and to allow
you to see a graphic representation of your PV system on the Plugreen ‘Insight’, a web-based monitoring
and analysis. Feel free to provide your own layout if a larger or more intricate installation map is required.
To complete your map
Each Plugreen Solar micro-inverter has a removable serial number label located on the top cover. Peel
the removable serial number label from each Plugreen Solar micro-inverter and affix it to the respective
location on the Plugreen installation map
.
Send the installation map to Plugreen at
after completion. You can also download
installation maps and examples from www.plugreen.com.
After Plugreen creates a graphical representation of your PV system on the website, use the Plugreen
website “Insight” application link to view detailed performance information for your PV system. Please
go to www.plugreen.com for more information on the Plugreen Insight web-based monitoring and
analysis.

To connect your PV modules:
: Completely install all solar micro-inverters and all system inter-wiring connections prior to
installing the PV modules.
Best Practice
: Test AC first. Before you rack-mount the PV, pull and terminate all AC wiring, energize the
branches, and power up the solar micro-inverters to make sure that they all report into the
Communication Gateway unit and are operating correctly.
Mount the PV modules above their corresponding solar micro-inverters. Each solar micro-inverter
comes with two oppositely sexed MC4 multi-contact connectors.
First connect the positive DC wire from the PV module to the negatively marked DC connector (female
socket) of the solar micro-inverter. Then connect the negative DC wire from the PV module to the
positively marked DC connector (male socket) of the solar micro-inverter. Repeat for all remaining PV
modules using one solar micro-inverter for each module.
