Installing a Solar Inverter
Context
- Move the solar inverter with care to prevent device damage and personal injury.
- It takes multiple persons or a pallet truck to move the solar inverter.
- Do not use the ports and wiring terminals at the bottom to support any weight of the solar inverter.
- When you need to temporally place the solar inverter on the ground, use foam, paper, or other protection material to prevent damage to its cover.
- Use lifting handles to facilitate installation, which are optional and delivered separately. Ensure that the lifting handles are securely installed. After the installation is complete, remove the lifting handles and keep them properly.
- Secure the lifting handles (with the steel washers of the lifting handles closely fitted to the battery pack).
- If the stud of a lifting handle is bent, replace the lifting handle in time.
- To avoid damage to the equipment, do not lift or hoist a solar inverter with an improper hold as shown in Figure 4-12.

Procedure
- Lift the solar inverter from the packing case and move it to the installation position.Figure 4-13 Taking out the solar inverter
- (Optional) Install screws for locking DC switches.
For the model used in Australia, perform this step to meet the local standards
Figure 4-14 Install screws for locking DC switches - Lift the solar inverter and keep it upright.Figure 4-15 Lifting the solar inverter and keeping it upright
- If the installation position is too high to install the solar inverter on the mounting bracket, run a rope that is strong enough to bear the solar inverter through the two lifting eyes, and hoist the solar inverter.
Hoist the solar inverter with care to protect it from colliding with the wall or other objects.
