Declarations for the backup function
The backup outputs of the ET hybrid inverters have overload capability.
For details please refer to the technical parameters in the ET series inverter section (Page 35).
The inverter has self-protection derating at high ambient temperatures.
The statement below lays out the general policies governing the series EH, EM, ES, ET, BH, BT
and SBP energy storage inverters.
1. For hybrid inverters (e.g. Series EH, EM, ES, and ET), a standard PV installation typically
consists connecting the inverter to both panels and batteries. When the system is not connected
to the batteries, the manufacturer strongly advises that the backup function not be used. The
manufacturer will not honour the standard warranty and will not be liable for any consequences
arising from users not following this instruction.
2. Under normal circumstances, the backup switching time is less than 10ms (e.g. the minimal
condition to be considered as a UPS-level switching). However, some external factors may cause
the system to fail in backup mode. Due to this, we recommend that users to be aware of these
conditions and follow the instructions as described below:
• Do not connect loads which are dependent on a stable energy supply for reliable operation.
• Do not connect the loads which may, in total, exceed the maximum backup capacity.
• Try to avoid those loads which may create very high start-up current surges such as inverters,
air conditioners, high-power pumps etc.
• Due to the battery condition itself, the battery current might be limited by factors including
but not limited to temperature and weather etc.
Acceptable loads are shown below:
• Inductive Loads: 1.5 P non-frequency conversion air conditioners can be connected to the
backup side. Two or more non-frequency conversion air conditioners connected to backup side
may cause the back-up mode to be unstable.
• Capacitive Loads: A total power ≤0.6 × nominal power of the model. (Any load with high
startup current is not acceptable.)
• For complicated applications, please contact the GoodWe Solar Academy.
Note:
For convenient maintenance, please install a SP 3T switch on both the backup and on-grid sides. Then it
is adjustable to support load by backup or by grid or default settings.
1. The backup load is supplied from backup
side.
2. The backup load is isolated.
3. The backup load is supplied from grid side.

Declarations for backup overload protection
The inverter will restart itself if overload protection is triggered. The preparation time for
restarting will be increasingly long (one hour at most) if an overload recurs. Take the following
steps to immediately restart the inverter.
Decrease the backup load power to within the maximum limitation.
