9  Switching On and Off

9.1  Switching On

1. Check the following requirements:

– correct electrical connections
– voltages and polarities

2. Switch the DC circuit breaker of the Sunny Island to "ON".

☑ The display light of the Sunny Island switches on.

☑ The Sunny Island initiates the start-up phase. The 

notifications shown here are displayed. The last 
notification is displayed as soon as the start-up 
phase is completed.

3. To change settings in the QCG, manually start the QCG.

Press and hold down <ENTER> until the Sunny Island beeps three times.
☑ The QCG is started and the notification 

displayed here is shown.

Systems with several Sunny Island inverters

Switch on the slaves 

before

 you switch on the master. To do this, proceed as follows.

"250.01 AutoStr" Parameter

Even with the "250.01 AutoStr" parameter set, the Sunny Island must be manually started after 
each time the device is switched on using the DC circuit breaker.
