1 Safety Precautions
General Safety
● Follow the precautions and special safety instructions provided by Huawei
when operating this product. Installation or maintenance personnel must be
well trained, fully understand all safety precautions, and be able to correctly
perform all operations. Huawei will not be liable for any consequences that
may arise due to violations of general safety requirements or safety standards
concerning the usage of the equipment.
● Before performing operations, read through the safety precautions to prevent
accidents. The information provided under the "NOTICE", "CAUTION",
"WARNING", and "DANGER" headings within this manual is not intended to
cover all applicable safety policies, and instead acts as a supplement to the
comprehensive safety information provided.
● Follow local laws and regulations when operating the equipment. The safety
instructions in this document are considered supplementary to local laws and
regulations.
● Do not operate the equipment or cables during thunderstorms.
● Before operating the product, remove any conductors such as jewelry or
watches.
● Use insulated tools during operations.
● Tighten screws using a torque wrench, and mark them in red and blue for
double-check. Installation personnel should mark tightened screws in blue.
Inspection personnel should confirm that the screws are tightened and then
mark them in red. If screws or bolts used to secure the equipment are not

terminals are hot-swapped, the optimizer may be damaged.
Operation
DANGER
High voltage from the optimizer in operation may cause an electric shock,
resulting in serious property damage, injury, or death. Strictly comply with the
safety precautions in this document and other related documents when operating
the optimizer.
● Do not touch the optimizer in operation as its surface temperature is high and
may cause burning.
● When operating the equipment, comply with local laws and regulations.
DANGER

resulting in serious property damage, injury, or death. Before maintenance, power
off the optimizer and strictly comply with the safety precautions in this document
and other related documents when operating the optimizer.
2 Product Introduction
2.1 Overview
The smart PV optimizer is a DC to DC converter which implements maximum
power point tracking (MPPT) of each PV module to improve the energy yield of
the PV system. It enables module-level shutdown and monitoring, and supports
long-string design.
Model
This document involves the following product models:
● SUN2000-600W-P (Long input cable / Short input cable)
● SUN2000-450W-P
● SUN2000-450W-P2
2.2 Structure
Optimizer Ports
Optimizer Dimensions
● Select PV modules with appropriate cable length to ensure that the optimizer can
connect to PV modules.
● To minimize electromagnetic interference, ensure that the distance between the positive
and negative cables of an optimizer is minimized.
Configuration Principles
The number of optimizers supported in a PV string, the upper limit of the string
power, and requirements for connecting PV strings in parallel vary according to the
inverter model. The configuration principles for different inverter models are as
follows:
NOTE
If two strings are connected in parallel to the inverter under the same MPPT circuit, the
restrictions for configuring optimizers are as follows:
● The PV strings connecting to the same MPPT should contain the same number and
model of PV modules and optimizers.
● All PV modules in the two strings must have the same orientation and tilt angle.
You are advised to use long strings instead of Y-shaped terminals.

Quick Guide
4 System Maintenance
● If smart PV optimizers are configured for PV strings, ensure that the smart PV
optimizers have been successfully connected to the SUN2000 before performing the
operations in this section.
● Check that the SN labels of smart PV optimizers are correctly attached to the physical
layout template.
● Take and save a photo of the physical layout template. Keep your phone parallel to the
template and take a photo in landscape mode. Ensure that the four positioning points in
the corners are in the frame. Ensure that each QR code is attached within the frame.
● For some unidentified QR codes, log in to the FusionSolar WebUI to manually bind
them. For details, see section "FAQ 3'' of FusionSolar App Quick Guide.
● For details about the physical layout of smart PV optimizers, see FusionSolar App
Quick Guide. You can scan the QR code to download the quick guide.
NOTE
You can also upload the physical layout template photo on the WebUI as follows: Log in to
https://intl.fusionsolar.huawei.com to access the WebUI of the FusionSolar Smart PV
Management System. On the Home page, click the plant name to go to the plant page.
Choose Layout, click Click to Upload, and upload the physical layout template photo.
----End
Scenario 2: Setting on the Solar Inverter Side (Solar Inverter Not Connected
to the Management System)
Step 1 Access the Device Commissioning screen on the FusionSolar app to set the
physical layout of Smart PV Optimizers.
1. Log in to the FusionSolar app. On the Device Commissioning screen, choose
Maintenance > Optimizer layout. The Optimizer layout screen is displayed.
2. Tap the blank area. The Identify image and Add PV modules buttons are
displayed. You can use either of the following methods to perform operations
as prompted:
– Method 1: Tap Identify image and upload the physical layout template
photo to complete the optimizer layout. (The optimizers that fail to be
identified need to be manually bound.)
– Method 2: Tap Add PV modules to manually add PV modules and bind
the optimizers to the PV modules.
----End
NOTE
● The rapid shutdown function is not supported if optimizers are configured for some PV
modules.
● You are advised to periodically check whether the rapid shutdown function is normal.
If optimizers are configured for all PV modules, the PV system can perform a rapid
shutdown to decrease the output voltage to below 120 V within 15s and to below
30 V within 30s.
Perform the following steps to trigger a rapid shutdown:
● Method 1: Turn off the AC switch between the inverter and the power grid.
● Method 2: Turn off the DC switch on the inverter.
● Method 3: Connect a switch to the DI and GND ports of the inverter to form a
circuit. (For details about the DI port, see the corresponding inverter user
manual.) The switch is turned on by default. Turn off the switch to trigger a
rapid shutdown.
