Introduction INTRODUCTION (DC-Coupled) The EverVolt provides power to the essential loads by utilizing power from PV panels, the utility and batteries. When the PV panels (two string input) generate enough power, the inverter can support the essential loads, charge the batteries and feed back to the grid all at the same time.
Wiring Diagram INTRODUCTION (AC-Coupled) With the AC Coupled EverVolt, energy storage can be added to homes and small commercial buildings, with or without a PV system. The AC Coupled EverVolt can be AC-coupled with existing PV systems, either with string or micro inverters, to allow continuous use during utility outages.
Important Safety Warnings IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND CAUTIONARY MARKINGS ON THE UNIT AND THIS MANUAL BEFORE USING THE INVERTER. AND, STORE THIS USER MANUAL WHERE IT CAN BE ACCESSED EASILY. WARNING: Users and homeowners should not attempt to service Evervolt. Only an authorized Panasonic technician should attempt to service EverVolt. Safety Symbols WARNING: This indicates the risk of electric shock.
Important Safety Warnings WARNING: Authorized service personnel should reduce the risk of electrical shock by disconnecting AC, DC and battery power from the inverter before attempting any maintenance or cleaning or working on any circuits connected to the inverter. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk. Internal capacitors can remain charged for five (5) minutes after disconnecting all sources of power. WARNING: Do not disassemble this inverter yourself. It contains no user-serviceable parts.
Important Safety Warnings BATTERY PACK WARNINGS: There is danger of generating heat / smoke / rupture flames. Do not disassemble battery pack. Do not touch disassembled battery pack. Do not reassemble battery pack. Do not immerse the battery pack in any liquids or get it wet. Do not short circuit battery pack. Do not incinerate or heat the battery pack. Do not use or leave the battery near a fire, stove or heated place. Do not impact the battery pack or throw it.
Important Safety Warnings WARNING: Only charge the EverVolt within the specified conditions. Failure to do so may result in damages, heat generation, smoke, fire, or explosion. Check positive (+) and the negative (-) terminals. If the EverVolt is connected with reversed polarity, unexpected reactions may occur such as damages, heat generation, smoke, fire, or explosion. Do not connect between the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals with a conductive material (e.g. wire, a cable, etc.).
Important Safety Warnings In the event that Inverter, one or more batteries or EverVolt is defective and needs to be removed, replaced, temporarily uninstalled, disposed of, decommissioned or if Panasonic Customer Support authorizes a replacement (RMA), perform the following steps: 1. Follow installation and service shut down. 2. Contact Panasonic Customer Support at panasonicevervoltsupport@us.panasonic.
Important Safety Warnings INVERTER WARNINGS: The inverter is intended to operate with an internet connection. Failure to maintain an internet connection may have an impact on the warranty. Properly mount the Inverter or place it on a flat, plain surface that can bear heavy weights. Ensure that the mounting location is structurally suited to bearing the weight of the Inverter.
Fire or Emergency In Case of Fire or Other Emergency In case of flooding: • Stay out of water if any part of the system or wiring is submerged. • If possible, protect the system by finding and stopping the source of the water, and pumping it away. • If submerged, the whole system may need to be replaced. • Let the area dry completely before use. In case of unusual noise, smell: • Ensure nothing is in contact with the system or in the venting area on top of the Inverter or Battery enclosures.

Mounting the Inverter 1. Mount the backplate onto the wall using at least two screws; one on each side of the backplate. 394mm (15.5in) DC-Coupled 604mm (23.8in) 30mm (1.2in) 197mm (7.8in) AC-Coupled 505mm (20in) 237mm (9.3in) 90mm (3.5in) 475mm (18.7in) NOTE: The DC-coupled inverter bracket dimensions are all the same as the AC-coupled inverter brackets except for the distance between the top and bottom mounting brackets, which is 604mm/23.8in.
Mounting the Inverter 2. Install the brackets on the inverter. 3. Hang the inverter onto the backplate and secure the brackets to the wall using at least two screws; one on each side of the inverter.
Mounting the Inverter Access Cover to Terminal Block Connectors • The cover must be removed when making or modifying connections in the distribution box, and reinstalled when connections have been completed. To remove the cover, use the following steps. Reverse the steps to reinstall the cover. • • 1. Remove the screws from the cover. 2. Pull off the cover.
PV Module (DC) Connection ASSEMBLY (Continued) 3. PV MODULE CONNECTION (DC-Coupled Only) NOTE: Below information is for reference only. See Technical Bulletin for additional string sizing information. There is a DC (PV) circuit breaker in the distribution box when using the DC coupled version of EverVolt (black). This system can connect to two strings of PV modules with MPPT control. Configure each PV input as recommended in the table below. Vmp is a PV panel’s max power point voltage.
PV Module (DC) Connection Connecting the PV Arrays (DC coupled only) Step 1. For each PV input string, make sure the input voltage is between 250VDC and 430VDC, and the maximum current is 13A. Note: The inverter can still be installed if you are only using one PV input string. Step 2. Make sure the PV Switch and inverter Main Switch located on the side of the inverter are OFF. Step 3. Strip 15mm(0.6in) of insulation from each PV cable (PV1+, PV1-, PV2+ and PV2-). Step 4.
Connections ASSEMBLY (Continued) 4. General Connections • • • Order of connections should be Grid, Load, then Battery. Order of wire connections should be Ground, N, L1, L2. Connect AC wires according to the labels on the terminal block or your system WARNINGS • Make sure the circuit breaker is off before making or modifying any connections. To prevent the risk of electric shock, make sure the ground wire is properly earthed before operating this unit whether the grid is connected or not.
Grid (Utility) Connection ASSEMBLY (Continued) 5. GRID (UTILITY) CONNECTION There is an AC (Grid) circuit breaker in the distribution box. This will ensure the inverter can be safely disconnected during maintenance and is fully protected from overcurrent of AC input. Installing an essential load panel provides backup power to connected circuits. There are two interlocked AC breakers to the essential loads inside the distribution box. One AC breaker labeled “FROM INVERTER” is for normal inverter operation.
Grid (Utility) Connection WARNING: Essential load terminals are to be wired to a separate subpanel. Never connect essential load lines directly to the main service panel without use of an external automatic transfer switch. Direct connection of essential loads output to the grid will result in damage to the inverter.
AC Input II Load Ouput Grid Input PV Input Grid (Utility) Connection CAUTION: DO NOT USE PV INPUT TERMINALS ON AC COUPLED SYSTEMS. Plug (cap) all PV Input terminals for AC-Coupled installations. Under no circumstances will the PV Input terminals be used for AC-COUPLED. 46 AC Input II Load Ouput Grid Input Put a screwdriver into the terminal, insert the wire into the terminal and then remove the screwdriver. Do not install wires into PV Inputs for AC-Coupled installations.. PV Input 1.
Grid (Utility) Connection Connecting to the Grid/Utility Continued Step 1. Check the grid voltage and frequency with an AC voltmeter. It should be within the operation AC voltage range of the product’s specifications. Step 2. Make sure the circuit breaker is off. Step 3. For each AC wire, strip 15mm(0.6in) of insulation. Step 4. Connect the AC wires to the inverter according to the labels indicated on the terminal block or your grid utility type.
Grid (Utility) Connection Next, make sure inverter is disconnected. Follow the below instructions to completely isolate the equipment. Step 1. Turn off the 40 A “marked” main grid breakers located in the main service panel. Step 2. Turn off the battery breaker located in the inverter distribution box. Step 3. Turn off both (interlocked) Load Input Selection breakers located on the left side, outside of the distribution box.
