Chapter 1 - Welcome
The SolarCity H6 inverter may be mounted either indoors or outdoors. Outdoor locations
should avoid direct sunlight to help prevent thermal de-rating (temperature-induced
reduction in power performance).
1.1 - Qualification of Skilled Workers
This guide and the tasks and procedures described herein are intended for use by skilled
workers only. A skilled worker is defined as a trained and qualified electrician or installer who
has all of the following skills and experience:
• Knowledge of the key principles and operation of on-grid and off-grid (backup) systems.
• Knowledge of the dangers and risks associated with installing and using electrical devices
and acceptable mitigation methods.
• Knowledge of the installation of electrical devices
• Knowledge of and adherence to this guide and all safety precautions and best practices.
1.2 - General H6 Features
The SolarCity H6 inverter includes the following general features:
• Wide MPPT operating voltage range of 85V to 550V.
• Flexible MPPT channel power imbalance up to 70% / 30%.
• Supports up to 150% PV to AC ratio.
• Transitions from on-grid to off-grid in less than two (2) seconds.

• Support for smart inverter features (power factor, reactive power, etc.).
• PV to AC Peak efficiency of 97.5%.
• NEMA 4X die-cast aluminum construction.
• Metal fins on back provide natural convection cooling more reliably than an external fan
• Operating temperature range between -20°C and 60°C (-4°F and 140°F); power de-rating
occurs above 45°C/113°F.
WARNING: THE SOLARCITY H6 INVERTER IS NOT INTENDED OR DESIGNED
TO SUPPLY ENERGY TO LIFE-SUSTAINING MEDICAL DEVICES. DO NOT USE
THE SOLARCITY H6 INVERTER FOR ANY SITUATION WHERE A POWER
OUTAGE MIGHT LEAD TO DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY.
1 In night mode, it may take up to eight (8) seconds to transition from on-grid to off-grid.
