Step 3: Solar Wiring
WARNING: Shock Hazard
The solar PV array can produce open-circuit voltages
in excess of 40 Vdc when in sunlight. Verify that the
solar input breaker or disconnect has been opened
(disconnected) before installing the system wires.
AVERTISSEMENT: Risque de décharge électrique
Le réseau PV solaire peut produire des tensions de cir-
cuit ouvert supérieures à 40 V cc à la lumière du soleil.
Vériez que le coupe-circuit ou l’interrupteur d’entrée
solaire a été ouvert (déconnexion) avant d’installer les
câbles du système.
WARNING: Risk of Damage
Connecting the solar array to the battery terminal will
permanently damage the SunSaver.
AVERTISSEMENT : Risque d’endommagement
La connexion du réseau solaire sur la borne de la bat-
terie endommagera le SunSaver de façon permanente.
The nominal solar module voltage must match the
SunSaver voltage rating. For 12V SunSaver models, only
a 12 V nominal solar module having a maximum open
circuit voltage of 30V may be used. Connect only 24V
nominal solar modules (or two 12V arrays in series) to 24V
SunSaver models. The maximum open circuit voltage of the
24V array must be less than 60V.

NOTE:
Higher voltage PV modules designed for on-grid PV
applications should not be used with the SunSaver or
any PWM controller. Only use high voltage modules with
maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controllers.
