3 Introduction 3.1 Basic features TSOL Series is a high-quality inverter which can convert solar energy to AC energy and store energy into battery. The inverter can be used to optimize self-consumption, store in the battery for future use or feed-in to public grid. Work mode depends on PV energy and user‟s preference. It can provide power for emergency use during the grid lost by using the energy from battery and inverter (generated from PV).
