The XS-Series strictly conforms and has been tested according to international safety regulations.
Failure to observe a warning indicated in this manual may result in
injury. GOODWE strongly advises installers to follow the local safety regulations during the commission-

electric shocks or damage to equipment and property.
Recyclable materials • The installation, maintenance and connection of the inverters must be performed by qualified
personnel, in compliance with local electrical standards, regulations and following the regula-
tions of the local power suppliers, companies and related authorities.
Danger of high voltage & electric shock • To avoid electric shocks, the DC input and AC output port of the inverters must be disconnected
and wait at least 5 minutes before performing any installation or maintenance.
