Warning
Always terminate DC wires at Powerwall+ before connecting them to the solar panels.
Warning IconA warning icon, calling your attention to a possibly risky situation
Warning
When the PV array is exposed to sunlight, a dangerous DC voltage is generated in the DC conductors. Touching the live components of these conductors can lead to lethal electric shocks.
