1s) off for 1s) grid. Both the DC and AC are off, or the SUN2000L is in Low Power Consumption mode. Low Power Consumption mode means that the monitoring system of the SUN2000L hibernates.
SUN2000L. Each circuit tracks the maximum power point of one PV string respectively. The SUN2000L reserves a battery port to connect to batteries which are used to store the surplus power produced by PV strings and not required by residential loads. The power stored in batteries can be exported to the power grid based on the load condition to meet peak power consumption requirements and maximize the benefits.
Operating In Operating mode: The SUN2000L converts DC power from PV strings into AC power and feeds the energy to the power grid. The SUN2000L tracks the maximum power point to maximize the PV string output.
Page 23
Description Mode Shutdown In Standby or Operating mode, the SUN2000L enters Shutdown mode after detecting a fault or shutdown command. In Shutdown mode, the SUN2000L enters Standby mode after detecting a startup command or that the fault is rectified.
Keep the storage temperature at –40° C to +70° C and the humidity at 5%–95% RH. The SUN2000L should be stored in a clean and dry place and be protected from dust and water vapor corrosion. A maximum of 10 SUN2000Ls can be stacked. To avoid personal injury or device damage, stack SUN2000Ls with caution to prevent them from falling over.
Before unpacking the SUN2000L, check the outer packing materials for damage, such as holes and cracks, and check the SUN2000L model. If any damage is found or the SUN2000L model is not what you requested, do not unpack the package and contact your supplier as soon as possible.
The SUN2000L is protected to IP65 and can be installed indoors or outdoors. Do not install the SUN2000L in a place where a person can be easy to come into contact with its enclosure and heat sinks, because these parts are extremely hot during operation.
Page 28
Ensure that the installation surface is solid enough to bear the weight load. In residential areas, do not install the SUN2000L on drywalls or walls made of similar materials which have a weak sound insulation performance because the noise generated by the SUN2000L is noticeable.
