Inverter Operating Modes; Auto Mode; Standby Mode; Charge Battery Mode - Redback SH5000 Owner's Manual

Troubleshooting

Inverter operating modes

The inverter operating modes are summarised below. Select modes using the Redback app or portal.
10.1

Auto mode

AUTO is the default operating mode, maximising
consumption of self-generated and stored energy. If the
inverter mode has been changed, AUTO can be
reselected from the Redback portal.
If AC loads (House) exceeds solar generation, energy
sources are prioritised as follows:
1. Solar
2. Battery
3. Grid
If solar production exceeds AC loads, destinations for
self-generated energy are prioritised as follows:
1. AC Loads
2. Battery (storage)
3. Grid (if enabled)
10.2

Standby mode

STANDBY mode is invoked automatically when no solar
or battery energy is available. The SH5000 directs grid
power directly to the AC Loads thereby minimising
energy losses in the inverter e.g. heat.
The SH5000 automatically reverts to the previous mode
of operation when solar or battery energy is available.
10.3

Charge battery mode

CHARGE mode may be used to prepare for a severe
weather event, and prioritises charging the battery at
the nominated rate, from the grid.
Any available solar will supplement the grid charging up
to a maximum charge rate of 4.6kW.
AC Loads are fulfilled by the grid.
