Set Points:
 Grid-Tie Enable: Enables or disables the inverter's grid-interactive function. If Y is selected, the
function is turned on. If N is selected, the function is turned off.
 Sell Voltage: Sets the operating point for the grid-interactive function. When a renewable source
raises the batteries above this point, the inverter exports power in order to bring the voltage back
down. (The inverter cannot import AC power to raise the batteries to this level.) This means the Sell
feature only functions when excess DC power is available. (However, if the charger is operating, it can
also sell power using other charger set points. See the inverter Operator's Manual for more details.)
 Grid-Tie Window: Sets the requirements that the utility grid must meet for the grid-interactive
function to work. If the voltage and frequency are within the ranges specified in each selection, the
inverter can sell power. Otherwise, the selling function will not operate. The unit will display a
message in the Sell Status menu (see page 46). Two selections are available, IEEE and User. Specific
settings for each setpoint are listed in the inverter Operator's Manual.
~ The IEEE selection has narrower settings than the User setting.
~ IEEE is required by most utilities in the United States. (For American models, its voltage and
frequency criteria are preset to the requirements of UL1741 and IEEE 1547.)
