The short answer
Check the minimum module count (HVS 2, HVM 3), then do BYD's defined off/wait/on sequence.
Plain explanation
From the BYD manual for the Battery-Box Premium HVS/HVM: Check the minimum module count (HVS 2, HVM 3). Battery off: hold LED button 5 s. The rest of the checklist is below; work through it in order. Installer only: DC and AC work on a live PV system is dangerous, so owners should note the code and call their installer.
