COMMISSIONING
Note
Before connecting your panels to SolMate®, please check the open circuit voltage (OCV). You can
find this value on the nameplate on the back of your panels. Depending on the open circuit
voltage, select the appropriate commissioning guide.
Note
If you are connecting your own panels, please ensure that the input voltage does not exceed 44V
and that you connect them in parallel only, not in series.
