4. Installation

4.1 Select a Location for the Inverter

To select a location for the inverter, the following criteria should be considered:

Exposure to direct sunlight may cause output power derating. It is recommended to avoid installing the inverter in direct sunlight.

It is recommended that the inverter is installed in a cooler ambient which doesn't exceed 104F/40C.

4. Installation

Install on a wall or strong structure capable of bearing the weight of the machine (24kg).

Install vertically with a maximum incline of +/- 5 degrees, exceeding this may cause output power derating.

To avoid overheating, always make sure the flow of air around the inverter is not blocked. A minimum clearance of 500mm should be kept between inverters or objects and 500mm clearance between the bottom of the machine and the ground.

4.3 PV Input Terminal Assembly

Please ensure the following before connecting the inverter:

Make sure the voltage of the PV string will not exceed the max DC input voltage (1000Vdc).

Violating this condition will void the warranty.

Make sure the polarity of the PV connectors are correct.

Make sure the DC-switch, battery, AC-BACKUP, and AC-Grid are all in their off-states.

Make sure the PV resistance to ground is higher than 20K ohms.

The Solis RHI series inverter uses the MC4 connectors. Please follow the picture below to assemble the MC4 connectors.

Quick connector is used for battery connection. The connector is suitable for tin-plated cables with a conductor cross section of 2.5-6mm2 (AWG14-10).

Battery cable outside diameter range: 5.5mm - 8.0mm.

NOTE:

A bladed screwdriver with a 3-mm wide blade is required to perform the connection.

Step 1. Strip 15mm off the conductor using a suitable stripping tool for this.

Step 2. Open the spring using a screwdriver as below.

(see figure 4.

7)

Step 3. Insert the stripped wire with twisted litz wires all the way in.

The wire ends have to be visible in the spring. And then close the spring. (see figure 4.

8)

Step 4. Push the insert into the sleeve and tighten the cable gland with 2N.m torque. (see figure 4.

9)

Step 5. Fit the connectors to the battery ports at the bottom of the inverter with correct polarity and a "click" sound. (see figure 4.

If hybrid inverter is not connected to a battery, then select "No Battery" to avoid alarms.

For above compatible battery modules, Only two parameters need to be defined:

* OverDischg SOC (10%~40%, default 20%)

--Inverter will not discharge the battery when the OverDischg SOC is reached.

Battery self-discharge is unavoidable,SOC may go lower than the limit if the battery

can't get charged for a long period of time.

There are two optional modes:

1. Time Charging 2. Off-grid Mode

The default mode is called "AUTO" mode (which is not shown and can not be selected).

The "AUTO" mode logic is: Store excess PV energy into the battery and then use it to support loads instead of exporting to the grid. (Maximize system self-consumption rate).

To change back to the default mode, simply set all the other modes as OFF.

6. Commissioning

6.1 Preparation of Commissioning

Ensure all the devices are accessible for operation, maintenance and service.

Check and confirm that the inverter is firmly installed.

Space for ventilation is sufficient for one inverter or multiple inverters.

Nothing is left on the top of the inverter or battery module.

Inverter and accessories are correctly connected.

Cables are routed in safe place or protected against mechanical damage.

Warning signs and labels are suitably affixed and durable.

6.2 Commissioning Procedure

If all the items mentioned above meet the requirements, proceed as follows to start up the inverter for the first time.

6.2.1 Switch on the AC-backup and AC-grid.

6.2.2 Follow the picture below to select grid standard.

Select Standard

Grid Switches

Figure 6.1

6.2.3 Refer to “Part 5” to configure the parameters.

6.2.4 Switch on the DC circuit breaker between inverter and battery.

6.2.5 (Optional) When the battery equipped is Pylon Li-ion Battery,

or BYD battery, turn on the switch on the battery manually.

6.2.6 The relay will make 'clicking' sounds and it will take a short-time to work automatically.

6.2.7 The system will work properly.

7. Troubleshooting

Solis RHI Series inverter does not require any regular maintenance. However, cleaning the heatsink will help inverter dissipating heat and increase the lifetime of inverter. The dirt on the inverter can be cleaned with a soft brush.

CAUTION:

Do not touch the surface when the inverter is operating. Some parts may be hot and cause burns. Turn OFF the inverter (refer to Section 6.2) and let it cool down before you do any maintenance or cleaning of inverter.

The LCD and the LED status indicator lights can be cleaned with cloth if they are too dirty to be read.

Note:

Never use any solvents, abrasives or corrosive materials to clean the inverter.

The inverter has been designed in accordance with international grid tied standards for safety, and electromagnetic compatibility requirements.

Before delivering to the customer the inverter has been subjected to several test to ensure its optimal operation and reliability.

In case of a failure the LCD screen will display an alarm message.

In this case the inverter may stop feeding energy into the grid.

The alarm descriptions and their corresponding alarm messages are listed in Table 7.1:
