15 Appendix 15.1 Application of Parallel Function 15.1.1 Introduction of Parallel Function The series inverter provides the parallel connection function when connected with DataHub, which could support at most 60 inverters to parallel in one system and can control zero injection to the grid with a meter installed in the main circuit. In this parallel system, the DataHub will be the master of the system, and all the inverters are the slaves.

Appendix 15.2 Application of EV-Charger 15.2.1 Introduction of EV-Charger Application The EV-Charger is intended for charging electric vehicles. It should be installed in a fixed location and connected to the AC supply. The EV-Charger can communicate with other devices or systems (inverter, meter, CT, third-party charger management platform, etc.) to realize intelligent control of charging process.
Appendix • Connection steps a) Prepare an RJ45 splitter and the splitter should be placed in a waterproof place. b) Connect the communication cables of the EV-Charger, the meter and the inverter via the splitter following the PIN definition rules. c) The communication cable to be connected with the inverter should be plugged into the RS485 terminal of the inverter.
Appendix 15.3 Application of Adapter Box G2 15.3.1 Introduction of Adapter Box G2 Application With the SolaX Adapter Box G2, users can effectively utilize solar energy by commanding it to power their heat pump using settings available on the SolaX inverter and SolaXCloud. This intelligent integration allows for optimized solar self-consumption and ultimately helps in reducing electricity bills.
