If you are trying to turn it on with no grid or pv, you need to do a black start i.e. press the power button, then press and hold the b-start button for 10 seconds.

(Don’t forget the last bottom battery waterproof connector is fitted)

It looks like this, and covers up the battery inter-connect on the bottom battery.
