Starting the System

Start inverter via user interface
Starting the inverter via the user interface is an alternative to pressing the start-stop button.
- To start the inverter via the user interface, set Device parameters > Device > Operation > General operating mode to Start.
Requirements:
All Sunny Island inverters must be switched on.
The circuit breakers for the AC sources in the stand-alone grid must be switched off in the AC distribution board.
The load-break switch of the generator must be open.
Procedure:
- For systems with one Sunny Island, press the "start-stop" button on the Sunny Island until an acoustic signal sounds.
- For systems with up to three Sunny Island inverters, press and hold the "start-stop" button on the master until an acoustic signal sounds.
- For multicluster systems, press and hold the "start-stop" button on the master of the main cluster until an acoustic signal sounds.


Start of a single-cluster system
When starting a single-cluster system, the slaves wait for the start command from the master.

Starting a multicluster system
When starting a multicluster system, the extension cluster masters wait for the start command from the main cluster master.
- The inverter LED on each Sunny Island is glowing green. The Sunny Island inverters are in operation.
