4.6 Energy Management The energy management mode selected should be based on the user’s application and preference. There are four energy management modes that can be chosen. Self-Consumption mode Self-consumption prioritises the supply of the load with PV and battery energy resulting in an increase of the self- consumption and self-sufficiency rates.
Page 18
Case 3: PV power generation is larger than the power consumption. Battery charging via PV energy is prioritised. PV energy is exported to the utility grid if it is greater than the load and when the battery is completely charged. Energy management during the night: Case 1: Battery energy is available.
Page 19
supplied by the utility grid. Case 2: Battery energy not available. The load power consumption will be supplied by the utility grid. Reserve mode The battery is considered as a back-up energy storage device. PV power prioritises the charging of the battery if it is not completely charged.
Page 20
Case 1: The battery is not completely charged. PV power will prioritise the charging of the battery. The balance of load power, if required, is supplied from the utility grid. Case 2: The battery is completely charged, the load power consumption is supplied by excess PV power and the balance, if required, is supplied by the utility grid.
Page 22
Off-grid mode The product operates as a stand-alone inverter. Power is only supplied via the EPS port. No loads shall be connected to the normal AC output terminal. Custom mode Users can manage the system according to their own needs, and set daily regular charging and discharging schedules via the app. Outside of the schedules, the system operates in self-consumption mode.
4.7 Basic system solution The product is a high-quality inverter that converts solar energy to AC power and stores excess energy production in a battery. It optimizes self-consumption, enables energy storage for future use, and supports grid feed-in. The basic application of this product is as follows: Description Object Remark...
