1. Introduction
This hybrid PV inverter can provide power to connected loads by utilizing PV power,
utility power and battery power.
Figure 1 Basic hybrid PV System Overview
Depending on different power situations, this hybrid inverter is designed to generate
continuous power from PV solar modules (solar panels), battery, and the utility. When
MPP input voltage of PV modules is within acceptable range (see specification for the
details), this inverter is able to generate power to feed the grid (utility) and charge
battery. This inverter is only compatible with PV module types of single crystalline and
poly crystalline. Do not connect any PV array types other than these two types of PV
modules to the inverter. Do not connect the positive or negative terminal of the solar
panel to the ground. See Figure 1 for a simple diagram of a typical solar system with this
hybrid inverter.
Note: By following the EEG standard, every inverter sold to German area is not allowed
to charge battery from Utility. The relevant function is automatically disabled by the
software.

6. PV Module (DC) Connection
CAUTION: Before connecting to PV modules, please install separately a DC circuit
breaker between inverter and PV modules.
NOTE1: Please use 1000VDC/20A circuit breaker.
NOTE2: The overvoltage category of the PV input is II.
Please follow below steps to implement PV module connection:
Step 1: Check the input voltage of PV array modules. The acceptable input voltage of the
inverter is 350VDC - 900VDC. This system is only applied with two strings of PV array.
Please make sure that the maximum current load of each PV input connector is 18.6A.
Step 2: Disconnect the circuit breaker and switch off the DC switch.
Step 3: Assemble provided PV connectors with PV modules by the following below steps.
Components for PV connectors and Tools:
Female connector housing
Female terminal
Male connector housing
Male terminal
CAUTION: Exceeding the maximum input voltage can destroy the unit!! Check the
system before wire connection.
WARNING: Because this inverter is non-isolated, only three types of PV modules are
acceptable: single crystalline and poly crystalline with class A-rated and CIGS modules.
To avoid any malfunction, do not connect any PV modules with possibility of leakage
current to the inverter. For example, grounded PV modules will cause leakage current to
the inverter. When using CIGS modules, please be sure NOT grounding.
CAUTION: It’s requested to have PV junction box with surge protection. Otherwise, it
will cause inverter damage when lightning occurs on PV modules.
