2 Safety
Electrical installations (for North America)
All installations must conform with the laws, regulations, codes and standards applicable in the
jurisdiction of installation (e.g. National Electrical Code
®
Electrical Code
CSA-C22.1.).
• Before connecting the product to the utility grid, contact your local grid operator. The
electrical connection of the product must be carried out by qualified persons only.
• Ensure that the cables or conductors used for electrical connection are not damaged.
The country data set must be set correctly.
If you select a country data set which is not valid for your country and purpose, it can cause a
disturbance in the PV system and lead to problems with the grid operator. When selecting the
country data set, you must always observe the locally applicable standards and directives as
well as the properties of the PV system (e.g. PV system size, grid-connection point).
• If you are not sure which standards and directives are valid for your country or purpose,
contact the grid operator.
