  • Page 9: Product Introduction

    2 Product Introduction 2.1 System Diagram RX-5000AC is an AC-coupled inverter. AC-coupled inverter provides advanced storage and upgrading solutions to the PV grid-connected inverters(any brand or model), enabling the existing system to benefit from energy storage capability and emergency power supply. The AC-coupled inverter will detect the energy generated by the grid-connected inverter, which will be used by the local load first, and the rest will be stored in the battery through the AC-coupled inverter, and the surplus energy will be fed back to the grid.
