    9.12 Information on dynamic feed-in 9.12.1 Control behaviour With a system output of 7 kWp and above, a digital feed-in meter or a remote control option is still mandatory at present. Active power limitation is the simplest option here. This can be achieved for all NH3 devices via the Smart-Meter or a data logger.

Diagram of increase in self consumption Legend Regulation command to device 70% + self consumption PV power gained through self consumption Energy requirement of a detached home (green area) PV power lost despite self consumption Using the feed-in meter/data logger for calculations allows more efficient use to be made of the PV system, thus providing more energy for self-consumption.

    By connecting up additional consumers, heating, water or energy storage systems, the self consumption and therefore the consumption of the PV current can be increased considerably. This function can however only be used by data logger because this has an S0 output and could therefore connect up additional consumers via a relay circuit.

The inverter temperature should be above -40℃ No.: E12 Description Step Peak current too high Disconnect the inverter from the AC grid, PV module, battery and reconnect after 5 minutes, check is it solved? If not, disconnect the load, and restart the inverter to check is it solved? If the fault disappear, then connect the load one by one to check which load result this fault?
  • Page 105 No.: E38 Description Step Insolation failure Make sure the inverter is reliably grounded. Only Disconnect PV module and restart it to check is the fault on? Remove any abnormality. Only Disconnect battery to check is the fault on? remove any abnormality. Only Disconnect Grid side to check is fault on? remove any abnormality.
  • Page 106 No.: W40 Description Step BUS over voltage-software Check actual PV input voltage &AC voltage to make sure the voltage within the voltage range when installing the inverter; If the fault reports during the inverter first installation, and also doesn’t work for more than 6 months after production, then the fault may be caused by energy lack of capacitance.
