3. Powerporter Overview
About Power Porter
This product is mainly combined with inverter, photovoltaic (PV) and related accessories to
build residential energy storage system. The system is used to store the power generated by
PV to the connected battery and convert the direct current (DC) generated by the connected
battery into alternating current (AC) and provide it to the home grid.

5
(Note: The actual Residential ESS may also include electrical equipment such as distribution
boxes and metering meters)
Powerporter is a lithium-ion battery that can store electrical energy and outputs DC current.
Powerporter only maintains electrical connection with the inverter. The electrical energy
generated by the PV is converted by the inverter Dc to DC and stored in the
connected Powerporter. When Powerporter is needed, Powerporter's electrical energy is
converted by the inverter DC to AC and transmitted to the home grid to provide power for
household appliances.
The main function of the home energy storage system depends on the inverter. Powerporter is
a device that stores electrical energy.
Functions of home ESS:
Self-production and sales of electrical energy
Use solar power and Power Porter to reduce the dependence on the grid and store
electricity during the day for night use.
Backup power
When the power grid is out of power, it can be seamlessly switched to Power Porter as
a backup power source to protect your home from power outages.
Sell electrical energy
The electrical energy generated by the photovoltaic array can be stored in a connected
Powerporter or sold to an energy supply company.
Off-grid power supply
The system can be connected to diesel generators to ensure uninterrupted power supply
in areas without city power (such as islands and remote mountain areas).
(Note: The scheduling management of electrical energy in the system depends on the inverter.
Powerporter is committed to being compatible with a variety of inverters. The inverter you use
does not necessarily contain all the above functions)

Monitoring Your System
Using the app, you can monitor system operation from your mobile device, including the
following:
Real-time power usage
Energy consumption history
Relative amounts of energy used from solar, grid, and Powerporter storage
