1. HYD‐ES inverter Introduction The HYD‐ES hybrid inverter is used in PV system with battery storage. Energy produced by the PV system will be optimized for maximum self‐consumption. The HYD‐ES inverter can work in auto or time‐of‐use (TOU) mode, charge / discharge the battery when needed. In auto mode, the HYD‐ES inverter will charge surplus PV energy into the battery & discharge battery to supply power to local load when PV energy is not enough. In case of blackout, HYD‐ES inverter can work in Emergency Power Supply (EPS) mode. HYD‐ES inverter will utilize power from PV panels & energy stored in the battery to supply power to critical load.

2. Safety Notes Before installation, please make sure you read & understand this manual. The HYD‐ES inverter strictly comply with safety rules of design and testing. During the installation, operation and maintenance, operators should abide by local safety regulations. Improper operation may cause an electric shock or damage the equipment and properties. 2.1. Safety Notes Electrical installation and maintenance must be carried out by competent electricians according to local regulations. HYD‐ES inverter can only be installed by qualified electrician, and only those who have appropriate accreditation, as required by local authority. Do NOT put explosives or flammable materials, e.g. gasoline, kerosene, diesel, oil, wood slab, cotton, or rag close to batteries or HYD‐ES inverter. Disconnect AC connection first, then disconnect battery & PV(PV1&PV2), then wait at least 5 minutes (discharge capacitors) before maintenance to prevent electric shock. HYD‐ES inverter shall be disconnected completely (BAT, PV & AC) while being maintained. HYD‐ES inverter can be very hot during working. Switch off HYD‐ES inverter & wait HYD‐ES inverter to cool down before maintenance. Keep children away from batteries & HYD‐ES inverter. ...
Battery maintenance operators shall have the knowledge and technical skill for battery maintenance; All batteries connected in parallel should be of the same model and have same firmware version. This is a design issue needs to be considered by designer/installer, particularly when replacing batteries or modifying an existing energy storage system. HYD‐ES inverter is transformer‐less, therefore the positive pole and negative pole of the PV array are NOT grounded. Otherwise it will cause inverter failure. In the PV system, all non‐current carrying metal parts (such as: PV module frame, PV rack, combiner box enclosure, inverter enclosure) should be connected to earth. Warning: Do not disassemble or break the battery. Its electrolyte can be toxic and damage your skin and eyes. Warning: follow the following rules during battery installation/maintenance. a) Take off your watch, ring, and other metal objects. b) Only use tools with insulated handles. c) Wear rubber gloves and shoes. d) Do not put tools or metals above the battery. e) Switch off HYD‐ES inverter & batteries before connecting / disconnecting battery terminals. f) Battery positive/negative poles should be isolated from ground. ...
