Switching sunsynk 8.8kw inverter on and off

[Cuzz 0]

Hi community

So I have a silly question. Is there a specific way to switch the sunsynk inverter on and off, sequence of starting and stopping? I have the 8.8kw inverter. Should I switch any breakers off first, do you switch the battery off first or last(pylontech batteries). Also there is a button on the side as well as a switch. What is the difference between them? Thank you in advance.

It should not really matter what order you turn things off.

Personally, I usually turn off grid first, then inverter (green push button on the side), then PV (black switch on the side), then battery.

Turning on, I do battery first, then turn inverter on, and wait for it to finish its power on process (about 1 minute), then turn on grid and PV.

Thank you JustinSchoeman.

I will use your sequence. I just want to ensure that I don't damage any components by sending them power when they shouldn't have power or by not gracefully shutting them down. I come from a server/storage background and I know that we need to follow procedure/sequence to avoid damage/dangerous situations.

If you turn the battery off first, it will throw an error.

 So the battery should normally be last to turn off and first to turn on.
 

Others don’t really matter as inverter can run without grid or solar.
