Install MPPT Jumpers (Optional)

Where the PV input current exceeds the maximum current rating per MPPT (IMP) of 13 A, jumpers can be used to parallel MPPTs to double the total PV input current capacity to 26 A.

Note
When the Powerwall 3 product label lists 15 A IMP, jumpers can be used to parallel MPPT to double the total PV input current capacity to 30 A.

CAUTION
These jumpers are not interchangeable. Only install the jumpers that ship with the unit.
  1. For a string with IMP > 13 A, connect the string to terminals [1+ and 1-] or [5+ and 5-].
  2. Install a jumper to combine the MPPTs. Combine inputs 1 and 2 (installing jumpers from 1+ to 2+ and from 1- to 2-) or combine inputs 5 and 6 (installing jumpers from 5+ to 6+ and 5- to 6-).
    • A in the following diagrams represents a string where IMP > 13A, so jumpers are installed from MPPT 1 to MPPT 2.
    • B in the following diagrams represents a single string where IMP < 13A, so no jumpers are required

Note
MPPT PV inputs 3 and 4 cannot be combined and are closed from the factory. Do not remove the factory-installed components closing these inputs (C in the following diagram).
