1. Pre-Installation Requirements

Before starting the installation of the Solplanet ASW-05-12kH-T2 and T3 hybrid inverter series, ensure the following:

• Qualified Installer: Ensure the person performing the installation is certified and familiar with electrical and solar PV system installations.
• Permits and Approvals: All necessary permits must be in place.
• Inverter Manual: Always have the latest version of the Solplanet inverter manual available.
• Safety Gear: Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including insulated gloves, eye protection, and safety shoes.

2. Tools and Materials Needed

• Standard electrical tools (screwdrivers, wire strippers, voltage tester)
• Crimping tools for connecting cables
• Torque wrench for ensuring proper tightening
• Solar panel and battery connections
• DC isolator switch
• Mounting hardware (supplied with the inverter)
• AC breaker, fuses, and surge protection devices

3. Mounting the Inverter

1. Choosing a Location:
   • Install the inverter in a well-ventilated area, protected from direct sunlight and rain. Ensure the ambient temperature is within the inverter’s operating range (usually between -25°C and 60°C).
   • Install it at a height where maintenance can be easily performed.
   • Maintain clearance around the inverter for air circulation and cooling, per the manual’s recommended distances.
2. Fixing the Mounting Bracket:
   • Use the supplied mounting bracket to secure the inverter to the wall.
   • Ensure the bracket is level and securely fastened to a solid surface. The wall must be strong enough to support the inverter’s weight (approx. 15-25 kg depending on the model).
   • Slide the inverter onto the bracket and confirm it’s properly fixed in place.

4. Electrical Connections

Important: Always follow the manufacturer’s wiring diagram, and ensure that all systems are de-energized before making any connections.

A. AC Wiring (Grid and Backup)

• The inverter has multiple ports for grid connection and backup power.
• T2 Model: For three-phase grid connections.
• T3 Model: For three-phase and asymmetric operation.
• Use the appropriate breakers and follow local grid interconnection guidelines.

1. Grid Connection:
   • Connect the inverter’s AC output to the main distribution board.
   • Install appropriate overcurrent protection and an AC breaker.
   • Use the correct size cables based on the inverter’s rated power and distance from the grid connection point.
2. Backup Power (if available):
   • Connect the backup power output to essential loads or sub-panel for backup circuits.
   • Ensure that the load doesn’t exceed the inverter’s rated backup power capacity.

B. DC Input (Solar Panels and Battery)

1. Solar PV Connection:
   • Connect the solar PV array to the DC input terminals on the inverter.
   • Use MC4 connectors or similar for a secure connection.
   • Ensure the total PV voltage doesn’t exceed the inverter’s maximum DC voltage (consult the manual for this value).
2. Battery Connection (Hybrid Systems Only):
   • Use the dedicated battery terminals for hybrid operation.
   • Connect the battery system, ensuring that the battery voltage is compatible with the inverter.
   • Use appropriately rated DC cables and fuses for battery protection.

C. Grounding (Earth Connection)

• Ensure the inverter is properly grounded to prevent electrical faults.
• Connect the earth wire to the inverter’s grounding point, following local electrical codes for proper earth bonding.

5. Communication Wiring (Optional)

• WiFi Dongle (if applicable): Install the optional WiFi dongle for internet-based monitoring and control.
• Use the Solplanet mobile app or monitoring platform to configure and monitor the system remotely.

6. Commissioning the Inverter

1. Check Connections:
   • Double-check all connections (AC, DC, communication, and grounding) to ensure they are secure.
   • Ensure no cables are loose or exposed.
2. Power On the Inverter:
   • Close the AC breaker, DC isolator, and battery breaker (if applicable).
   • Turn on the inverter using the power switch.
3. Configure the Settings:
   • Set the inverter’s operation mode (grid-tied, off-grid, or hybrid) based on your system design.
   • Use the user interface or mobile app to configure country settings, grid parameters, and battery charge/discharge modes.
4. Monitoring:
   • Once the inverter is running, check the display or mobile app for any error messages or system warnings.
   • Verify that power is flowing from the PV panels, and the battery is charging (if installed).

7. Testing and Validation

• AC Power Validation: Confirm the inverter is exporting power to the grid or supplying the backup load.
• PV and Battery Test: Check that the solar array is providing power and the battery is charging or discharging as configured.
• Grid Failure Simulation (if hybrid/backup system): Simulate a grid failure to ensure the inverter switches to backup mode and supplies power to critical loads.

8. Maintenance and Troubleshooting

• Regularly inspect the inverter for dust accumulation, loose connections, or physical damage.
• Use the inverter’s diagnostics tools to monitor system performance.
• Update the firmware periodically through the manufacturer’s website or monitoring app.
