1 Safety Information WARNING During the installation of PV strings and the SUN2000, the positive or negative terminals of PV strings may be short-circuited to ground if the power cables are not properly installed or routed. In this case, an AC or DC short circuit may occur and damage the SUN2000.
Page 24
SUN2000-100KTL-US User Manual 2 Overview Function The SUN2000 is a three-phase grid-tied PV string inverter that converts the DC power generated by PV strings into AC power and feeds the power to the power grid. Features Intelligent ● 6 independent maximum power point tracking (MPPT) circuits and 12 PV string inputs: Support the flexible configuration of 2+2+2+2+2+2 strings.
Figure 2-5 Supported power grid NO TE The SUN2000 supports the IT earthing system in PV-only scenario. The use of the SUN2000 in other types of earthing systems, such as TT, TN-C, and TN-C-S, is not recommended. (If such an earthing system is encountered, contact the Company's engineers.)

PV strings, or the DC input voltage of each MPPT circuit is less than 600 V. Grid-tied indicator Steady green The SUN2000 is in grid-tied mode. The SUN2000 is not in grid- tied mode. Communication Blinking green The SUN2000 receives indicator communications data normally.
Page 31
Bluetooth module, or a USB data cable is inserted into the USB port of the solar inverter. For example, local maintenance includes data import and export using a USB flash drive, and connecting to the SUN2000 app over a WLAN module, a Bluetooth module, or a USB data cable.
Page 34
Note a: The fittings delivered with the SUN2000 contain the label of DC terminal operation warning. You are advised to attach the label at the bottom of the SUN2000 front side. Or you can select a position for attaching the label based on site requirements.
2.4 Working Principles 2.4.1 Conceptual Diagram The SUN2000 receives inputs from 12 PV strings. The inputs are grouped into 6 MPPT circuits inside the SUN2000 to track the maximum power point of the PV strings. The DC power is then converted into three-phase AC power through an inverter circuit.
Page 36
Operating In Operating mode: ● The SUN2000 converts DC power from PV strings into AC power and feeds the power to the power grid. ● The SUN2000 tracks the maximum power point to maximize the PV string output.
SUN2000-100KTL-US User Manual 3 Storage Storage The following requirements should be met when the SUN2000 needs to be stored prior to installation: ● Do not remove the packing materials, and check the packing materials regularly (recommended: every three months). If any rodent bites are found, replace the packing materials immediately.
The SUN2000 can be installed indoors or outdoors. ● Do not install the SUN2000 in a place where personnel are easy to come into contact with its enclosure and heat sinks, because the voltage is high and these parts are extremely hot during operation.
Page 42
Ensure that the installation surface is solid enough to bear the weight load. ● In residential areas, do not install the SUN2000 on dry wall or walls made of similar materials which have a weak sound insulation performance because the noises generated by the SUN2000 are noticeable.
Page 43
The SUN2000 can be support-mounted or wall-mounted. The installation angle requirements are as follows: ● Install the SUN2000 vertically or at a maximum back tilt of 15 degrees to facilitate heat dissipation. ● Do not install the SUN2000 at forward tilted, excessive back tilted, side tilted, horizontal, or upside down positions.
Page 44
Figure 4-5 Installation space requirements (back-to-back installation) NO TE For ease of installing the SUN2000 on the mounting bracket, connecting cables to the bottom of the SUN2000, and maintaining the SUN2000 in future, it is recommended that the bottom clearance be from 600 mm (23.62 in.) to 730 mm (28.74 in.). If you have any questions about the clearances, consult the local technical support engineers.
Figure 4-9 Position for binding the security torx wrench (1) Position for binding the security torx wrench The SUN2000 mounting bracket has four groups of tapped holes, each group containing four tapped holes. Mark any hole in each group based on site requirements and mark four holes in total.
● To prevent device damage and personal injury, keep balance when moving the SUN2000. ● It should take multiple persons or a pallet truck to move the SUN2000. ● Do not place the SUN2000 with its wiring terminals at the bottom contacting the floor or any other objects because the terminals are not designed to support the weight of the SUN2000.

● The AC output power cable can be an aluminum alloy cable with a conductor cross-sectional area of 1 AWG to 3/0 AWG. ● The MC4 terminals delivered with the SUN2000 only support the 8 AWG DC input power cable. Using cables of other specifications may result in serious consequences.
● To ensure the system response speed, you are advised to connect less than 30 cascading SUN2000s on each COM port of the SmartLogger. ● The RS485 communication distance between the SUN2000 at the end and the SmartLogger cannot exceed 1000 m (3280.84 feet).

AC power cable, DC power cable, and communications cable, connect ground cables to the grounding point and PV side ground point. ● It is recommended that the SUN2000 ground cable be connected to a nearby ground point. Connect the grounding points of all SUN2000s in the same array to ensure equipotential connections to ground cables.
● Never open the host panel of the SUN2000. ● Before opening the maintenance compartment door, ensure that no electrical connections are made for the SUN2000 on the AC or DC side. ● If you need to open the maintenance compartment door in rainy or snowy days, take protective measures to prevent rain or snow entering the maintenance compartment.
Context ● A three-phase AC switch must be installed on the AC side of the SUN2000. To ensure that the SUN2000 can safely disconnect itself from the power grid when an exception occurs, select a proper overcurrent protection device in compliance with local power distribution regulations.
