Operation

The grid-feeding process starts in the morning when there is
enough daylight and, a certain minimum voltage is applied
to the inverter. After a startup period of 3 minutes the
inverter starts feeding into the grid. When feed-in voltage
falls below this minimum at the end of day, the grid feeding
process will be terminated and the inverter will be switched
off.
