Types Of Installations; Self-Consumption Installations - Ingeteam INGECON SUN STORAGE 1Play TL M Technical Manual For Installations

2 Types of installations

2.1 Self-consumption installations

A self-consumption installation is a system connected to the grid that seeks to minimize grid consumption and
to increase self-supply. To do so, it is fitted with photovoltaic generation and storage components. The
inverter has the possibility of operating just from the PV array and of adding the storage system at a later
date.
An additional Battery-Backup function can be activated in this type of installation, to activate the Battery-
Backup function it is necessary to have a battery bank or PV panels. Although, it is possible to activate the
backup function from PV (without battery); however, it is recommended the use of batteries to ensure the
supply of the critical loads. The INGECON SUN photovoltaic inverter is disconnected to the grid and it doesn't
supply energy. The non-critical loads are not fed. For TT installations, the inverter connects the neutral of the
critical loads to ground through its internal grounding relay.
Installation components:
•
Photovoltaic panels.
•
Battery bank. Recommended for Battery-Backup.
•
ISS 1Play TL M inverter.
•
External wattmeter. Check the "List of approved Power Meter for ISS 1Play TL M", available in the
Ingeteam webpage. (In case of use the internal wattmeter of the inverter, consult the "Installation and
Operation Manual" of ISS 1Play TL M, available in the Ingeteam webpage).
•
INGECON SUN photovoltaic inverter (optional). To increase the photovoltaic power of the installation.
This inverter is equipped with the AC Bypass functionality, it is only available when the PV panels or the
battery bank supply the inverter. With this functionality if the grid is available and the Battery-Backup function
activated, in the event of an alarm or firmware update, the loads will be powered from the grid (AC Bypass
closed). In case of manual stop, through the button of the inverter, the AC Bypass will be opened. The inverter
must be supplied from the DC side, battery or PV.
