Step 9: Mount the inverter, if desired, as per the instructions in the inverter manual. Connect the red
(positive) and black (negative) 4 awg 5-foot cable from battery to inverter. NOTE: As per the
inverter manual, the outputs cannot be hardwired to an electrical panel.
Step 10: Uncover the panel — you should see the icon on the upper left of the controller display
change from a moon to a sun after this is done. As time passes, you should the battery charge
increase, until the controller is in “Float” mode (NOTE: time to reach Float will vary depending
on many factors including weather, location, time of year, and battery capacity). Once in Float
mode, the battery can be used to provide power. It is best practice to ensure that the battery bank
reaches Float at least once per week.
