  20. System installation • Pre-installation • Step 1: Install the mounting plates • Step 2: Mount the Inverter • Step 3: Mount the XW Power Distribution Panel & XW Conduit Box • Step 4: Wire the Inverter • Step 5: Install Additional Inverter(s) • Install Charge Controller(s) • Connect communication/signal cables to their components

  21. Pre-Installation 54 inches Minimum Clearance Required for proper ventilation 30 inches 16” 16” 16” 6” • Provide a minimum clearance of 6 inches (15 cm) around the top and bottom of the XW Inverter for ventilation. • If XW Solar Charge Controllers are installed on the XW Power Distribution Panel as shown, provide a minimum clearance of 6 inches on the open side. If charge controllers are not installed, no clearance is required on the side of the Power Distribution Panel. • There must be at least three feet of clearance in front of the system for accessibility. (Note: Front of the Inverter protrudes 9 inches (23 cm) from wall.) • For optimum operation a maximum cable length of 10 feet (one way) from XW Inverter to the battery bank is recommended.

  22. Step 1 – Installing the Mounting Plates • Mounting Plates are included with XW Inverters and XW-PDP • Mounting holes spaced 16” on-center • Ensure wall / fasteners can support weight • Ensure first mounting plate is correct height and level • Additional mounting plates interlock to adjacent ones
