Startup & Shutdown Procedure

and Maintenance Guidelines


SHUTDOWN SYSTEM
1. Turn off the main DC battery isolator (if system has Powerwall).
2. Turn off the Solar Array AC Main Switch located in the switchboard or next to
the inverter.
3. In case you have 2 AC Switches, both have to be shutdown.
4. Turn off the Solar Array DC Main Switch located next to the inverter.
5. Please also check the shutdown procedure on the main switchboard.

TO RESTART THE SYSTEM


1. Turn on the Solar Array DC Main Switch located next to the inverter.
2. Turn on Solar Array AC Main Switch located in the switchboard and/or next to the
inverter.
3. Turn on the main DC battery isolator (if system has Powerwall).

MAINTENANCE OF SOLAR ARRAY


If the angle of the PV module is 10 degrees or more, normal rainfall is sufficient to
keep the module glass surface clean under most weather conditions.
There are no user serviceable parts in the system.
Under no circumstances should the solar inverter be opened or unplugged.
We recommend that your system is inspected by a Clean Energy Council
Accredited Installer every two years.
To confirm the operation of your system, check inverter display while full sun
is shining on your panels.

If the inverter displays a ground fault alarm or any fault contact Bradford Solar for assistance.
(Refer to your inverter owners manual).

If you have any other questions about maintenance on your new


Bradford Solar system please call Bradford Solar on 1800 332 332
