1. INTRODUCTION
The PowerPod 2 is a high-performance fully integrated home energy
storage, management, and monitoring system powered by LFP (cobalt-
free) batteries. The product includes a hybrid solar/battery inverter
controlled by intelligent software. It comes in both whole home and
partial-home backup. Whole home backup has two options for the
solar connection, 1) the AC option which keeps the solar connected
directly to the load and 2) the DC-coupled option which connects solar
directly to the PowerPod 2 inverter.
All PowerPod 2 models manage grid and backup power from PV
panels, batteries, and the utility. When the PV panels generate
enough power, the system will support the backup load, charge the
batteries and feed back to the grid all at the same time. When the
power generated by the PV panels is not sucient to support the
backup load, the inverter takes power from either the batteries or
the utility depending on the mode the homeowner has selected. For
multi-day grid outages the system will resupply power to the home
by restarting from solar each day and solar charge the batteries even
if the batteries were completely drained and system shut down the
previous day. PowerPod 2 comes in dierent inverter and battery sizes
and configurations to match your energy and backup needs. There are
six Inverters models ranging from 5000 to 9600 W and three batteries
sizes; 10, 15 and 20 kWh.

Safety Warnings
2. SAFETY WARNINGS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND CAUTIONARY MARKINGS ON THE
UNIT AND THIS MANUAL BEFORE USING THE INVERTER. STORE
MANUAL IN A LOCATION FOR EASE OF FUTURE ACCESS.
WARNING: Users should not attempt to service the Electriq PowerPod
2. Only an authorized PowerPod technician should attempt to service
the Electriq PowerPod 2.
Safety Symbols
WARNING. This indicates the risk of electric shock. The
presence of high voltage levels may constitute a risk of
injury or death to users and/or installers.
CAUTION. This indicates important information where
failure to comply may result in safety hazards or cause
damage to this product.
CAUTION. This indicates the risk of a hot surface. The
surface may reach a temperature high enough to cause
serious burn injuries.
General Precautions
CAUTION. Before installing and using this inverter, read all
instructions and cautionary markings on the inverter and
all appropriate sections of this guide. This inverter must be
installed by licensed electricians only.
CAUTION. Normally grounded conductors may be
ungrounded and energized when a ground fault is
indicated.
CAUTION. Due to inverter weight it is to be lifted by at
least two people for safety.
WARNING. These servicing instructions are for use by
qualified personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
do not perform any servicing other than that specified in
the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so.
8Installation Manual
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 o 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. Attempting to service
this inverter yourself may cause a risk of electrical shock or
fire and will void the warranty from the manufacturer.
WARNING. To avoid a risk of fire and electric shock, make
sure that existing wiring is in good condition and that the
wire is not undersized. Do not operate the Inverter with
damaged or substandard wiring.
CAUTION. Under high temperature environment, the cover
of this inverter could be hot enough to cause skin burns if
accidentally touched. Ensure that this inverter is away from
normal trac areas.
WARNING. During the installation process, drilling,
punching, and screwing the bolts can cause metal burrs,
which must be cleaned up to prevent them from falling
into the electronics.
WARNING. Use only recommended accessories.
CAUTION. To reduce risk of fire hazard, do not cover or
obstruct the cooling fan.
CAUTION. Do not operate the Inverter if it has received a
sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any
way. If the Inverter is damaged, call for an RMA (Return
Material Authorization).
WARNING. Exposed hazardous voltage, during servicing
or for emergency procedures use a lockable manual
breaker lockout on the main service panel disconnects to
enable Lock-Out-Tag-Out per the Standard for Electrical
Safety in the Workplace, NFPA 70E, and the Standard for
Workplace Electrical Safety, CSA Z462.
