Follow this order the first time; after that, jump straight to the checklists.

Before your first site

1

Safety — read all six pages

Start at Safety First. Isolation and shutdown order is where most field injuries and equipment damage happen — learn it before anything else.
2

Environment & Siting

Choosing the Location through the Site Photo Checklist. Siting mistakes are the #1 cause of warranty disputes and summer derating.
3

Your platform's pages

Kent M1 or Kent G3 overview → installation → commissioning — the full platform groups are live on this site. Work them alongside your Kent training deck and your platform’s checklist; the platform pages carry every cited parameter.
4

The commissioning checklist

Print or open Common Commissioning plus your platform’s checklist. No sign-off without every pass box ticked and photos taken.

On site — the golden order

  1. Environment audit first — photos before tools come out.
  2. Electrical pre-checks dead — polarity, earth, port identification with everything OFF.
  3. Power up in the official sequence — AC first, battery last .
  4. Function tests — BMS handshake, charge and discharge, CT sanity, backup transfer.
  5. Documentation — photo set, settings snapshot, customer sign-off.

Common mistakes

  • Skipping the environment photos “to save time” — they are your warranty defence.
  • Copying settings from a video for a different brand or model. Only this knowledge base and Kent training material apply to Kent units.
  • Treating the Kent M1 and Kent G3 as the same machine — they are different platforms.
