    2.2 Symbols AF-DH series hybrid inverters strictly comply with relevant safety standards. Please read and follow all the instructions and cautions before installation, operation and maintenance. 3.Introduction 3.1 Basic Instruction AF-DH series hybrid inverters, when work with batteries can significantly reduce the energy that purchased from the public grid and optimize self-consumption.

  • Page 6: Operation Modes

    1. Solar energy system can work without PV or Battery. 2. Off-grid application is available. 3. With anti-feed-in (default value 0). 3.2 Operation Modes 3.2.1 Self- use A. Normal Mode Priority: Load > Battery > Grid This mode applies to situation that with low feed in subsidy and high electricity price. Solar energy supply to the local load and charge to the battery first.

  • Page 7: Timing Charging

    3.2.2 Timing Charging This mode applies to situation with peak-valley electricity price. Battery can be charged during off-peak hours. The charging and discharging time can be set flexibly, it also allows to set whether charge from the grid or not. 3.2.3 Selling First Priority: Load >...

  • Page 8: Backup First

    3.2.4 Backup First Priority: Battery > Load > Grid This mode applies to situation with frequent power outages. When the public grid is off, enough energy can be supplied to the local load by the batteries. Battery will be charged first, and discharge energy for the local load when the grid is off. It would be charged automatically.
