1.2 Operation Modes
There are three basic modes that end users can choose via inverter screen/APP.
SELF CONSUME: The energy generated by the solar panels will be used in the following order:
Feed the home loads; Charge the battery and then, feed into the grid.
When the sun is off, the load will be supported by battery to enhance self-consumption.
If the power supply from the batteries is not sufficient, the grid will support the load demand.

1 Introduction
Version 1.1 Copyright © PHASEGREEN TECHNOLOGY INC 9
BATTERY PRIORITY: Under this mode, the battery is only used as a backup power supply when
the grid fails and as long as the grid works, the batteries won’t be used to power the loads. The
battery will get charged with the power generated by the PV system or from the grid.
PEAK SHIFT: This mode is designed for time-use mode customer. The customer is able to set up
the charging/discharging time & power via inverter screen or APP.
