N1-HV Series User Manual 2.3 Explanation of symbols Symbols on the Type Label: Symbol Explanation TÜV mark CE mark. The inverter complies with requirements of applicable CE guide-lines. Beware of hot surface. The inverter can be hot during operation. Avoid touching during operation.
3.2 Basic features The N1-HV series hybrid inverters are developed for PV energy storage system with PV module, battery, loads and grid. Energy produced by PV system shall be used to optimize self-consumption (on site consumption), surplus production will charge battery and the rest power would be fed to the grid.
User Manual 3.3 Work modes The N1-HV Series hybrid inverter has the following work modes based on the configuration and connected equipment. Work mode: Self Use This mode is applicable to areas with low subsidies and high electricity prices. Self-consumption of PV renewable energy is the highest priority.
Page 11
N1-HV Series User Manual Figure 3-4 Time of Use Mode Work mode: Backup Use It is suitable for the areas with frequent power outages. When the grid is off, the battery is used as backup power to supply load. This mode ensures that the battery will have enough energy to supply loads during a grid outage.
Page 12
N1-HV Series User Manual Work mode: Feed in Use This mode applies to the area that has high feed-in tariff and export control. This model prioritizes grid feeds with sufficient PV power to maximize the tariff subsidy earned. a. When the PV power is sufficient, the PV generation will supply load first, then feed into grid, and the excess power will charge the battery last.
3.3 Terminals The N1-HV series hybrid inverters are designed to work with PV energy storage system with PV module, battery, loads and grid. Energy produced by PV system shall be used to optimize self-consumption, excess power used to charge battery and surplus power could be fed into the grid.
