Step 1: Gather Necessary Materials
Before beginning the installation, ensure you have all the required materials and equipment ready. Some key components include:
- Tigfox Solar Generator Unit 5.5KW & 5.12kWh
- Extra Wall-Mounted Solar lithium Battery 5.12KWh
- Auxiliary materials like containers or frames
- Solar cables and accessories
Step 2: Pre-Installation Preparations
Prior to installation, take these precautions:
- Protective Equipment: Wear appropriate protective gear, including a safety helmet, gloves, safety shoes, goggles, and a protective mask.
- Tools: Gather necessary tools, including diagonal pliers, wire strippers, a tape measure, screwdrivers, a multimeter, a drill, an adjustable spanner, a utility knife, and a spanner.
- Location Confirmation: Ensure the chosen installation location meets safety and temperature requirements. Opt for a spot that is difficult to access to reduce risks.
- Height Placement: Mount the hanging board at a height of more than 1 meter from the ground.
Step 3: Installation Process
- Unscrew the four bolts of high voltage from the solar generator.
- Remove the protective cover from the bottom of the solar generator.
- Connect the cables to the generator: ground wire first, output wire second, and neutral wire finally. Plug in the WiFi connection.
- Turn off the main power source.
- Set up the metal frame for mounting.
- Hang the generator and battery on the metal frame.
- Connect the solar generator and battery.
- Test the entire system to ensure proper connections and functionality.
- Monitor the system closely, and make sure everything is working as intended.
Step 4: Safety and Compliance
- Do not touch the DC cables, as high voltage may appear when PV modules are exposed to sunlight.
- Ensure the circuit breakers for grid power supply and PV modules are closed before connecting the cables.
- Confirm that all electrical interfaces comply with local standards.
Step 5: Final Steps
- In case of any disruptions in the solar system, thoroughly monitor and test all components before regular use.
- Remember that power generation should only be initiated after obtaining permission from the relevant authorities.
Although the steps outlined above provide a general guideline for installing a solar energy storage system, it’s important to emphasize that this process involves intricate electrical work and potential safety hazards. To ensure a secure and efficient installation, hiring professional technicians with expertise in solar energy systems is highly recommended. Their experience will guarantee a safe, compliant, and reliable installation, while also offering ongoing support for the optimal performance of your solar energy storage system.
