3.3 Working Mode Introduction 3.3.1 On Grid Self-Use Working Mode (Default) 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: ...
Page 14
*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. *2: Firmware update may be required to support this function. For on-grid self-use Working Mode, one can set the discharge end SOC@Grid as low as the battery allows (10% or 20% for example).
Page 15
You should never discharge the battery too deeply to avoid it “Running Flat”. • When there is an overload or short circuit fault, the inverter will stop working and an alarm will sound. It will try to restart several times before shutting down completely.
