    4.4 Operating Mode Introduction 4.4.1 On Grid Self-Use Operating Mode The on grid self-use operating mode is recommended for when the system is installed in an area with a stable grid. The purpose is to increase self-consumption of clean PV energy. When Inverter is set to work in this mode: During daytime and there is sufficient PV Power, •...
  • Page 13 • Set a schedule for the inverter to charge the battery using cheap off-peak grid power. • Specify the daily working periods of self-use for inverter. *1: The inverter can be set not to feed power into the grid. But a small amount of energy will still inevitably be fed into grid due to unpredictable PV energy change and load fluctuations.
  • Page 14 SOC reaches the EPS restart value. iii. When working in this mode: • The max power*3 from the EPS port is limited by inverter type, battery type and battery SOC. • A larger battery is always recommended for off grid / backup configuration.
