Energy is measured in Wh (watt hours), kWh (kilowatt hours) or MWh (megawatt hours). The energy
is the power calculated over time. If, for example, your inverter operates at a constant output of
3 000 W for half an hour and then at a constant output of 2 000 W for another half hour, it has fed
2 500 Wh of energy into the grid within that hour.

Power is measured in W (watts), kW (kilowatts) or MW (megawatts). Power is a momentary value. It
displays the power your Sunny Tripower is currently feeding into the grid.

• Only touch the lower lid and display during operation.
The inverter energy is shown as a diagram on the display. The
daily graph is displayed by default. The right-hand 󹻮ashing bar
of the diagram represents the current hour. If the inverter does not
feed any power to the grid over a longer period of time (e.g. in
darkness or if the PV modules are covered with snow), a gap is
inserted into the chart. The column for the current hour is updated
automatically every 󹻭ve seconds.
After four seconds, the bar goes off for one second and then
displays the current value.
The power and energy of the inverter are displayed in three 󹻭elds: Power, Day and Total. The display
is updated every 5 seconds.

The display values may deviate from the actual values and should not be used as a basis for
invoicing. The inverter's measured values are required for the system management and to control the
current to be fed to the grid. The inverter does not have a calibrated meter.
