Solar Rooftop PV Plant
A rooftop photovoltaic power station, or rooftop PV system, is a photovoltaic system that has its
electricity-generating solar panels mounted on the rooftop of a residential or commercial building or
structure. The various components of such a system include photovoltaic modules, mounting systems,
cables, solar inverters and other electrical accessories.

Rooftop mounted systems are small compared to ground-mounted photovoltaic power stations with
capacities in the megawatt range. Rooftop PV systems on residential buildings typically feature a
capacity of about 5 to 20 kilowatts (kW), while those mounted on commercial buildings often reach 100
kilowatts or more.

OPERATION OF THE SOLAR ROOFTOP PV SYSTEM
1. Start the Inverter
 Switch the Supply Main Switch (AC) ON first.
 Switch the DC MCB ON. If the voltage of PV arrays are higher than start up voltage, the inverter
will turn on. The red LED power will light, and the LCD shows the company's name and the
inverter model
 When both the DC and the AC grid sides supply to the inverter, it will be ready to generate
power. Initially, the inverter will check both its internal parameters and the parameters of the
AC grid, to ensure that they are within the acceptable limits. At the same time, the green LED
will flash and the LCD displays the information of INITIALIZING
 After 30-180 seconds (depending on local requirement), the inverter will start to generate
power. The green LED will be on continually and the LCD displays GENERATING.

Following are the light indications in the LED of the inverter

LIGHT STATUS DESCRIPTION

POWER ON The inverter can detect DC power
OFF No DC power or low DC power
OPERATION ON The inverter is operating properly.
OFF The inverter has stopped to supply power.
FLASHING The inverter is initializing.
ALARM ON Alarm or fault condition is detected.
OFF The inverter is operating properly.

2. STOP THE INVERTER

 Switch the Grid Supply Main Switch (AC) OFF.
 Wait 30 seconds. Switch off the DC MCB or pull out the DC input cable. All the LEDs of the
inverter will be off in a minute.
3. TROUBLE SHOOTING
In case of failure, the LCD screen will display an alarm message. In this case, the inverter may
stop feeding into the grid. The failure descriptions and their corresponding alarm messages are
listed below-

Alarm Message Failure description Solution

OV-G-V Over grid voltage Resistance of AC cable is too high. Change bigger
size grid cable
UN-G-V Under grid voltage
OV-G-F Over grid frequency
Use user defined function to adjust the protection
UN-G-F Under grid frequency limit if it’s allowed by electrical company
G-IMP High grid impedance
NO-GRID No grid voltage Check connections & grid switch
Check grid voltage inside the inverter terminal
OV-DC Over DC voltage Reduce the module numbers in series
OV-BUS Over DC bus voltage
Check inverter inductor connection
UN-BUS Under DC bus voltage Check driver connection
GRID-INTF. Grid interference
OV-G-I Over grid current Restart the inverter
Change power board
IGBT-OV-I Over IGBT current
INI-FAULT Initialization system fault Restart inverter otherwise contact installer
OV-TEM Over Temperature Check inverter surrounding ventilation
Restart the inverter after few minutes
GROUND-FAULT Ground fault Contact the installer
ILeak-FAULT High Grid leakage current Check AC/ DC connection cable
Check inverter side cable connection
Relay-FAULT Relay check fault Restart the inverter or Contact the installer
DCinj-FAULT High DC injection current Restart the inverter or Contact the installer
*If the inverter displays any alarm message as listed in Table above; please turn off the inverter
as mentioned above and wait for 5 minutes before restarting it. If the failure persists, please
contact your local distributor or the service center. Please keep ready with you the following
information before contacting us.

4. MAINTENANCE OF INVERTER
 Solar PCU does not require any regular maintenance. However, clean the heat-sink will help
inverter dissipating heat and increase the life time of inverter. The dirt on the inverter can be
cleaned with a soft brush.
 The LCD and the LED status indicator lights can be cleaned with cloth if they are too dirty to be
read.

DO’S DON’TS
Solar PCU Solar PCU

 inverter.
Solar Panels
 Use water and wiper to clean the solar
panels.
 The panels sould be cleaned with water
when they are cool.
Solar PV System
 Before disconnecting any string, use a dc
clamp-on meter to confirm there is no
current passing through the string.
 Use the appropriate connector unlocking
tool to disengage the module connector.
Repeat for each module to be isolated from
the system
 If the modules are removed from a system,
even temporarily, technicians must ensure
that the equipment grounding system
remains intact for the remaining modules.
GI STRUCTURE
 Visual inspection of the structure for any
rusting
is operating. Some parts may be hot and
cause burns. Turn OFF your inverter and let
it cool down before you do any maintenance
or cleaning of inverter.
 Never use any solvents, abrasives or
corrosive materials to clean the inverter.
Solar Panels
 Never clean the panels with water during
sunshine.
 Never touch the surface of the panels in day
light as they may be very hot and cause
burns.
 The panels should not be cleaned with water
in the daylight as they may be very hot and
there are chances of glass breaking.
Solar PV System
 Do not open a string (also known as a source
circuit) combiner fuse holder without first
confirming that there is no current flowing
on the circuit.
 Do not disconnect (unplug) module leads,
jumpers, or homerun wires under load.
GI STRUCTURE
 Avoid touching the structure with bare
hands while the rooftop plant is in
operation.
