Attention:
Battery installation requirement
As the system refer to battery use, we must make sure ventilation of the service
environment and temperature control in order to prevent the danger of battery
explosion, battery recommended installation environment must be strictly in
accordance with the specification,If the chosen PV modules needs to positive or
negative ground connection, please contact with manufacturer for technical support
before installation.
PV modules Capacitive Discharge Currents
PV modules with large capacities relative to earth, such as thin-film PV modules with
cells on a metallic substrate, may only be used if their coupling capacity does not
exceed 470nF. During feed-in operation, a leakage current flows from the cells to
earth, the size of which depends on the manner in which the PV modules are installed
(e.g. foil on metal roof) and on the weather (rain, snow). This "normal" leakage current
may not exceed 50mA due to the fact that the inverter would otherwise automatically
disconnect from the electricity grid as a protective measure.
A complete grid-connected system of SPH consists of PV modules, SPH inverter,
battery, utility grid and other components as following:

Commissioning 6
6.1 Commissioning of SPH
Electrify SPH after all installation of Part5 be finished, here are the steps:
1. Turn on PV first
2. Then turn on Grid
3. Last turn on battery
If PV Grid and battery are available, system would work on the “normal” mode. When
the SPH on the normal mode, the screen showing “Normal”, LED is green. If SPH not
enter normal mode successful, especially the LED is red, you need to check below:
1. Make sure all the connection is correct.
2. All the external switches are on.
3. Inverter built -in switch is on.
4. Make sure the lithium battery is on.
5. Refer to Part 9.1 for correction.
You can refer to Part 6.3.4 for work mode setting, then configure monitor, finish
commissioning lastly.
6.2 Operation modes
6.2.1 Normal mode
Normal mode is working state which including online mode and backup mode.
Online mode
User can set an appropriate priority mode according to request when SPH working on
the online mode. If customer uses the LCD and key settings, you can only set one
period, but if you use website settings, you can set up to three periods of the priority
mode.
(refer to 6.3.4)
1. Load first: Load first is the default mode, when it's working in this mode, PV energy
would offer to load and battery prior; when PV is Insufficient, battery would discharge;
when PV is sufficient for load, the excess energy would feed to battery. If there is no
battery or battery is full, the excess energy would feed to Grid (except anti-reflux).
2. Battery first: When SPH working in this mode, battery would be charged first, it's
suitable working on the period when the electric charge is low. user need to set the
mode ON and OFF time, and the end time of battery SOC. Users can set power rate
which less than the battery maximum output power. If the customer doesn't enable the
AC CHG (AC grid charging functions). Inverter will charge battery by PV power as
large as it can do. If the customer enables the AC CHG (AC grid charging functions).
Inverter will charge battery by PV power and AC power from grid as large as it can do.
3. Grid first: When SPH working in Grid-first mode, the PV energy would feed to Grid
first. User can choose the period when electric charge is high. User need to set the
mode ON and OFF time, and the end time of battery SOC. User can set power rate
which less than the battery maximum output power.
offgrid mode
If Grid lost, system would turn to offgrid mode (user can disable it, refer to 6.3.4) and
EPS OUTPUT will keep powering the load, all the energy from PV and battery, if the
PV also lost, then only battery discharge. Mind you, SPH maximum output power is
3680W in this mode, the load which connect with EPS LOAD should less than 3680W.
Notice:
1. Users only can set one period for battery first and Grid first on the LCD, if users
need set more pleases login shineserver or shinephone (the biggest period is three).
2. If users need Grid charge battery, users need input password on the SC surface and
set the AC CHG to enable.

Back up mode
Back up mode is used for bad weather, if back up mode is enable, battery will be
charged first. Customer can set up charging power ratio and stop SOC. If back up
mode continued more than 3 days. LED will flashing red to warning stop back up
mode. If back up mode continued more than one week. SPH will stop back up mode
and charge to online mode or offline mode automatically.
6.2.2 Fault mode
The SPH's intelligent control system could monitor and adjustment system's status
continuously, when SPH inverter monitoring anything unexpected happen, such as
system fault or machine fault ,the LCD will display the fault information, in fault mode,
the LED light will be lighten.
Notice:
1. The detail's fault information please refer to 9.1
2. Some fault information is in order to remind users that might have some faults
occurred in inverter side.
6.2.3 Programming mode
Programming mode indicates the SPH is updating, don't cut out power when it's
updating until the processing is finish, SPH inverter would log out automatically when
the updating finish and turn to other mode.
6.2.4 Checking mode
Before SPH work in normal mode, it will go to self-check mode. If all are ok, system will
go to normal mode, otherwise, it will go to fault mode.
6.2.5 Standby mode
If the system hasn't faults while the condition is not qualified, SPH would stay at
standby mode.
6.2.6 Shutdown mode
If customer need SPH inverter stop working, customer must disconnect all the energy
source, then SPH inverter will turn into shutdown mode automatically.
The following is the shutdown procedure:
1. Shutdown the PV side
2. Turn off battery switch.
3. Shut down AC power of SPH. Then you can see the both LED and LCD of SPH are
off.
Notice:
After all the actions are done, you still have to wait for more than 5 minutes.
