Solar System Manual


1. Introduction

Congratulations on your decision to install a Sunergy Solar Photovoltaic (PV) system. By

making this choice you are reducing greenhouse emissions by reducing your reliance on

conventional fossil fuel power generation. Over the lifetime of the system, considerable

amounts of CO2 emissions will be saved as well as significant savings on your power bill.

Your Solar PV system is comprised of high quality components to ensure many years of safe,

reliable power production at your home.

1.1 Installation Steps

1. Our installer will have explained to you how your installation was to take place and will have carried the installation out to the required Australian Standards and Clean Energy Council guidelines.

2. They will also have tested and commissioned the system operation and will have taken you through the basic operation of the PV Solar System and answered any questions you may have regarding that.

1.2 Grid Connection (Does not Apply to Off Grid)

1. In order to have your new meter installed by your distributor (e.g. PowerCor, SP-Ausnet, Essential Energy etc.), three key documents need to be in place;

a. PV connection form – you will be asked to sign this on the day of installation.

b. Electrical Work Request – again, you will be asked to sign this on the day of

installation.

c. Prescribed Certificate of Electrical Safety (PCES) – Victoria only. This will be

issued by an independent Energy Safe Victoria inspector once the system has

been inspected and signed off.

2. Once we have all three documents as outlined above we will submit these to your

retailer who in turn will process them and pass them to the distributor. We will

advise you when this paperwork has been submitted to your retailer.

3. The timeframe from Solar Installation by our technicians and having your meter

installed by your Distributor does vary (other than timely submission by us) and cannot be

influenced by us, please refer to your Distributor’s website for current waiting times.

4. Your new PV Solar Power System will have been wired to the existing meter set up

and unless advised by your installer, will be left on.

Solar System Manual

Solar System Manual


2. System Description Your Solar PV system is designed to automatically convert sunlight to electricity. Your solar

modules are connected in series, creating voltages of up to 600V DC (depending on the

configuration and sunlight intensity), which is converted to 230V AC by your inverter. This

electricity is then fed into your household switchboard/meter. The converted power will

then flow to the household loads and appliances. If more power is produced than what is

consumed in the house, the excess power will flow back into the grid. If more power is

required than what the Solar PV system can produce, the balance is made up from the grid.

The solar system generates electricity in proportion to the amount of sunlight on the solar

modules and the module temperature. There is no generation at night. The peak power

generation is on a clear cool day when the sun is at a perpendicular angle to the solar

modules. Clouds, seasonal variation of solar angle, array soiling, non-optimum orientation

and any incidental shading decreases that performance.

Please note that the inverter includes safety protection devices, which will isolate your solar

system, should the grid voltage or frequency fall outside a specific range. This feature protects the

inverter from grid spike or surges and also protects the grid line workers who may periodically need

to carry out maintenance work on nearby power lines.

Solar System Manual


3. Performance Estimate

Your original quotation includes a system performance estimate. Please insert your original quotation in the section provided as Appendix V. Please note that actual system output is dependent upon you maintaining shade creating obstacles and ensuring that your panels do not become overly dirty. It will also vary with climatic conditions including temperature, solar radiation, humidity, cloud, haze and etc.

Solar System Manual


4. How Much Can I Save?

Please refer the document “How Much Can I Save?” contained within Appendix I. This document outlines the range of savings based on standard tariffs as at the date of installation. As you can see, the range of savings very much depends on your self-consumption to export ratio. The more solar power you consume yourself, the more you will save. The more you export, the less you will save. Timing discretionary consumption such as pumps, washing machines, dish washers, swimming pools and spas etc to times when the sun is shining will help maximise your self-usage. Sunergy offers in home energy monitors to assist your goal to maximise self-usage and savings.

7. System operation

7.1 Start-up Procedure

WARNING: Follow this procedure in the order of the steps noted. Failure to follow

the sequence of steps can result in arcing and potentially a fire. Steps to Start inverter are as following:

• Step 1: Turn on DC switch(s) adjacent inverter • Step 2: Turn on AC Isolator adjacent inverter

• Step 3: Turn on Solar Supply Main switch and/or AC isolator adjacent inverter

7.2 Shut Down Procedure

WARNING: Follow this procedure in the order of the steps noted. Failure to follow

the sequence of steps can result in arcing and potentially a fire. In case of emergency or maintenance, shutting the system down is the reverse of the start-up procedure:

• Step 1: Turn on DC switch(s) adjacent inverterStep 1: Turn off Solar Supply Main switch in switchboard and/or AC isolator adjacent inverter

• Step 2: Turn off AC Isolator adjacent switchboard • Step 3: Turn off DC Isolator adjacent inverter ADDITIONAL STEP FOR OFF GRID SYSTEMS: Pull down battery isolator fuse. Do this sharply and smoothly to avoid arcs.

7.3 Verifying Correct System Operation

To check that the system is functioning correctly, attend the inverter at midday and check if

the green LED is illuminated and display is working. If there is a problem, an error message

will be shown on the display and the red LED illuminated.

Further information can be found in the supplied inverter user manual.

If functioning correctly, the display will also show current power output and array voltages.

If any value is zero there may be a problem. Please restart the inverter by following the

shut-down procedure, wait 10 minutes and then follow the start-up procedure.

If this fails to resolve the problem please contact Sunergy.

Solar System Manual


7.4 Earth fault alarm

In the event of an earth fault alarm, you may see some or all of the following:

• The red LED may be illuminated

• A message displaying “Earth Fault” will be shown on the display

• An audible tone may also be heard

If you see these symptoms, immediately shut down the PV system as per the shut-down

procedure (refer section 7.2) and contact Sunergy.

7.5 System Failure

If the system appears to be not functioning, i.e. blank screen and no LED lights:

• Please verify that all isolators are in the on position.

• If the screen remains blank, switch all isolators off by following the shut-down

procedure. Leave inverter in the off position for 10 minutes then re-energise by

following the start-up procedure.

• If the inverter is still not functioning please shut the system down (refer section 7.2)

and contact Sunergy

Please note that this situation may occur of the grid falls outside the tolerances specified

in AS4777 in which case it is not a fault of the system

Solar System Manual


8. On Going Maintenance

8.1 Maintenance Warnings

WARNING: Do not attempt to clean or come in contact with the surface of a solar

module with broken glass. This could result in a dangerous electric shock.

WARNING: Solar modules remain live during daylight hours, even when the DC

isolator is off. Therefore wiring and etc. will still be energised even when the DC

isolators are off. Hazardous voltages are present whenever solar panels are exposed to

light.

WARNING: The system should be shut down following the shut down procedure

(refer section 7.2) before performing any maintenance.

WARNING: Read and obey all warning signs before performing any maintenance

CAUTION: Appropriate precautions must be taken when working at heights. Do

not attempt to access the roof unless the precautions to prevent falling from heights are

in place. Sunergy recommends that only a CEC Accredited Electrician who has been

trained to work at heights conduct all solar system maintenance.

Solar System Manual


8.2 Maintenance Guidelines

Australian Standard AS/NZS 5033:2012 recommends your PV Solar power system be

maintained on an annual basis. Solar systems are low maintenance, partly due to the lack

of moving parts. Regular periodic inspection will help ensure your system continues to

operate safely and performs efficiently. You should also consult your inverter manual for

any additional requirements.

Installation of a roof mounted PV system may also require additional maintenance for the

roof and / or measures for access to conduct maintenance tasks. Please refer to your

roofing manufacturers guidelines.

Energy production may lose 4-8% output from dirty panels if allowed to become excessively

dirty. Normally cleaning is not required as rain should keep your panels adequately clean.

If however panels become very dirty (including excessive bird droppings) wash down with

a water hose or clean with a sponge and water when the panels are cool.

Detergents should not be used. Once clean, a visual inspection of the modules for defects

such as cracks, chips or discolouration should occur. The array frame should be inspected

for rust, corrosion and rigidity and the log book completed after every inspection.

Pressure washers must not be used.

Sunergy offers cleaning and inspection services as required. Please refer our website

(www.sunergysolar.com.au) or contact Sunergy for more information.
