2.4 Working Principles

Conceptual Diagram
The SUN2000L receives two in puts from the two PV strings. Two MPPT circuits are
configured inside the SUN2000L. Each circuit tracks the maximum power point of one PV
string respectively. The DC power is then converted into single-phase AC power through an
inverter circuit. Surge protection is supported on both the DC and AC sides.
The SUN2000L has a reserved 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 and
valley power consumption requirements and maximize the benefits.

The ALARM port provides an alarm signal port to connect to an alarm beacon, which reminds
the user to handle the Low Insulation Resistance, Abnormal Residual Current, or Faulty
Residual Current Sensor alarm. The ALARM port reserves an RS485/12 V signal port.

 The alarm beacon should be installed within 2 meters away from the SUN2000L.
 The shield layer of the device signal cable connected to the ALARM port and the COM
port is also advised to be grounded.
 The Faulty Residual Current Sensor alarm is the Abnormal Device alarm with a cause
ID of 5.

Procedure
Step 1 Connect signal cables to appropriate signal connectors.

 The protection layer of the cable is in the connector. Surplus core wires are cut off from
the protection layer.
 Ensure that the exposed core wire is totally inserted into the cable hole.
 Ensure that the signal cables are connected securely.
 Ensure that the cable is not twisted.
 If a connector needs to connect to only one signal cable, block the unused cable hole on
the seal using a waterproofing bolt and tighten the sealing nut.
 If a connector needs to connect to two signal cables, ensure that the cables have the same
outer diameter.

6.6 Powering Off the System

Context

 After the SUN2000L is powered off, the remaining electricity and heat may still cause
electric shocks and body burns. Therefore, put on protective gloves and operate the
SUN2000L 5 minutes after the power-off.
 If the SUN2000L is connected to the battery, ensure that a shutdown command is sent
from the app. Power off the system after the SUN2000L has shut down. If no shutdown
command is sent from the app, the SUN2000L will shut down after the power grid is
powered off. Then, the SUN2000L will wait for 1 minute and restart (not grid-tied) to
charge the battery, which poses the risk of turning off the DC switch with power.

Procedure
Step 1 Send a shutdown command from the app.
Step 2 Turn off the AC switch between the SUN2000L and the power grid.

7.2 Troubleshooting
Alarm severities are defined as follows:
 Major: The SUN2000L enters Shutdown mode and disconnects from the power grid to
stop generating power after a fault occurs.
 Minor: Some components are faulty but the SUN2000L can still connect to the power
grid and generate power.
 Warning: The SUN2000L output power decreases due to external factors.
