Correct shutdown procedure

69438317-be31-4c1e-90c2-6ef23ec67fdc.jpegHas my solar system fitted a month now all working great.

The company that fitted it is yet to send me the handover booklet, I think they have become very busy all of a sudden.

If I need to switch it off what is the correct procedure?

It consists of a multiplus 248/3000/35

250/100 mppt

cerbo gx

and pylontech us2000c batteries

Looks like it is unfinished and turned off. I wouldn't turn it on.

Without seeing the wiring, it's guesswork.

Best you leave it that way until they finish the installation and do a proper handover.

It is all wired in and switched on by the installer a month ago that was just a photo I took when it was being fitted.

It’s just The handover documents Havnt been sent yet and I wanted to know just in case it needs switching off.

You should ask this of your installer FIRST

however as a general guild and with no liability accepted.

To turn OFF

1. usually just turn the multi off this will turn all 220v off.

2. then turn the solar PV panels off

3. then the solar DC in power to the mppt units off

4. then turn the main battery switch off.

To turn back on

1. turn the battery mast on

2. turn the Multi on

3. turn the dc IN on to the MPPT units

4. turn the solar PV Panels on.


or to turn the ac only off just turn the multi off then back on as needed. the batteries will then continue to be charged from the solar and the installer will still have remote access, as the cerbo will still be powered.
