Safety Instructions
Perform all electrical installations in accordance with all applicable local electrical
standards.
Be aware that only qualified personnel should install or replace Enphase Microinverters.
Do not attempt to repair the Enphase Microinverter; it contains no user-serviceable
parts. If it fails, please contact Enphase customer service to obtain an RMA (return
merchandise authorization) number and start the replacement process. Tampering with
or opening the Enphase Microinverter will void the warranty.
Before installing or using the Enphase Microinverter, please read all instructions and
cautionary markings in the technical description and on the Enphase Microinverter
System and the PV equipment.
Connect the Enphase Microinverter to the utility grid only after receiving prior approval
from the electrical utility company.
Be aware that the body of the Enphase Microinverter is the heat sink. Under normal
operating conditions, the temperature is 15°C above ambient, but under extreme
conditions the microinverter can reach a temperature of 80°C. To reduce risk of burns,
use caution when working with microinverters.
Do NOT disconnect the PV module from the Enphase Microinverter without first
removing AC power.
