GENERAL INFORMATION
This manual applies to the SolMate® system by EET. It describes the installation and operation
of the SolMate® photovoltaic system for grid-parallel operation, designed for household use. It
must be read carefully before use and kept accessible throughout the product's lifetime.
The CE marking indicates that the product meets the applicable requirements for an
installation location up to an altitude of 2000 meters, as specified in the EU harmonization
regulations.
The national, European, and international guidelines and regulations applicable at the
installation site must be observed. These can be obtained from the local electricity provider.
Any reporting obligations to the electricity provider must be fulfilled before commissioning.
Self-installation of the SolMate® unit is permitted if the necessary safety requirements for the
electrical house installation are met (see Safety Instructions). Assessing whether these
requirements are fulfilled requires technical expertise in electrical systems and must therefore
only be carried out by a qualified and authorized electrician.
Standards for power generation devices like SolMate® require a dedicated feed-in plug that
prevents contact with the plug terminals. The grid inverter used in SolMate® includes grid and
system protection, which also ensures that no hazardous touch voltage can be present on the
plug terminals.
This is a type-tested protective device with a certificate of conformity that continuously
monitors the grid's voltage and frequency to ensure they remain within the specified
tolerances. In the event of a fault or when the plug is disconnected, two series-connected
isolation switches (redundant design) reliably shut off the system in a very short time.
From a safety perspective, there is no issue with using a standard Schutzkontakt plug to feed
electricity into the public grid with SolMate®. However, if your grid operator requires the use
of a dedicated feed-in plug, this is available in our webshop.
The installation and handling of your SolMate® system are beyond the control of EET –
Efficient Energy Technology GmbH. Therefore, EET cannot assume responsibility for any
damages, losses, or costs resulting from improper installation, incorrect handling of the
product, or misuse.
The storage unit is designed for outdoor use and is splash-proof on all sides; however, it must
only be installed in a sheltered outdoor area. Proper and safe operation of the device requires
correct transport, storage, installation, assembly, and careful handling. We do not accept
liability for damages resulting from failure to follow these instructions.
Type plates are attached to the back of your SolMate® and the panels. These plates display
technical specifications as well as article and serial numbers. Do not remove these type plates,
as doing so will void any warranty and guarantee claims.
