SG-3KWHB Please keep this manual available all the time in case of any emergency. 1.2 Target Group This manual is for qualified personnel.
2.2 Explanations of Symbols The inverter strictly comply with relevant safety standards. Please read and follow all the instructions and cautions during installation, operation and maintenance. Danger of electric shock The inverter contains fatal DC and AC power. All work on the inverter must be carried out by qualified personnel only.
3. Introduction 3.1 Basic Instruction The SG-HB series hybrid inverters are designed to increase energy independence for homeowners. Energy management is based on time-of-use and demand charge rate structures, significantly reduce the amount of energy purchased from the public grid and optimize self-consumption. Hybrid Inverter PV Array Meter...
Energy flow: PV → Load → Battery → Grid Note: Advance Setting When select 0 W under P_Feed menu, the inverter will export zero energy to the grid. When select xx W under P_Feed menu, the inverter will export customized energy to the grid.
3.2.4 Maintain The Maintain mode is suitable for situations where the battery capacity is small, and the battery is charged and discharged at the specified power. Warning: Energy flow: The Maintain mode is only PV → Load → Grid → Battery available for some inverter.
3.2.6 ExtEms ExtEms mode requires customized external control accessories that can remotely control the operation of the inverter. It is not recommended to use it without professional personnel. 3.2.7 PeakShave In PeakShave mode, the charging and discharging of the battery are controlled by setting the AC power to reduce the peak load of the power grid.

4.3.1 PV Connec�on The hybrid inverter has one/two MPPT channels, can be connected with one/two strings of PV panels. Please make sure below requirements are followed before connecting PV panels and strings to the inverter: • The open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current of PV string should not exceed the reasonable range of the inverters.
Step 2 Note: Please use PV connector crimper to pinch the point of the arrow. Note: You’ll hear click sound when the connector assembly is correct. Step 3 4.3.2 Ba�ery Connec�on The hybrid inverters are compatible with lithium battery. For lead acid battery or batteries with other brands, please confirm with local distributor or for technical support.

4.3.4 AC Connec�on The AC terminal contains “GRID” and “EPS”, GRID for load, and EPS for emergency load. Before connecting, a separate AC breaker between individual inverter and AC input power is necessary. This will ensure the inverter be securely disconnected during maintenance and fully protected from current of AC input.
