Parts and Tools Required
In addition to the SMIINV215R60XX
hardware, you will need the following items.
Siemens equipment:
•
Trunk and Drop cabling, as needed
•
NOTE
: Order the correct Trunk and Drop Cable type. Installers must order cable for
either split phase 240 VAC, typical for residential applications
VAC, typical for commercial installations. All drop connectors on the Trunk and Drop
Cable bear labels indicating the cable
cable at sites with 208 single phase service.
•
Grounding clips
•
Drop connector seals, as needed (for any unused drops on
•
Terminator caps, as needed (for
•
Trunk and Drop disconnect tool (a number 3 Phillips screwdriver can be substituted)
Other items:
•
Appropriate junction box
•
Continuous grounding conductor, grounding washers
•
Number 2 Phillips screwdriver
•
Torque wrench, sockets, wrenches for mounting hardware
•
Adjustable wrench or open
•
Tool for PV module locking connectors

Microinverter can be exceeded, and the equipment can be damaged.
As the Siemens Limited Warranty does not cover “acts of God” such as lightning strikes, and
since lightning strikes can occur anywhere, it is best practice to install surge protection as part of
any solar installation. We recommend the following protection devices. These have been tested
to ensure that they do not interfere with power line communications. Install per vendor
instructions.

Lightning Surge Suppression
Lightning does not actually need to strike the equipment or building where the PV system is
installed to cause damage. Often, a strike nearby will induce voltage spikes in the electrical grid
that can damage equipment. Siemens Microinverters have integral surge protection, greater than
most traditional inverters. However, if the surge has sufficient energy, the protection built into the
