Battery ConnectionStep 1. Prepare a Grid cable (five-core wire) and an EPS(Off-grid) cable (four-core wire), and then find the European terminal and waterproof cover in the accessory bag.Step 2: First remove the waterproof housing plug, The GRID and EPS(Off-grid) cables go through the corresponding GRID and EPS(Off-grid) ports of the waterproof cover. Remove the 12mm insulation layer at the end of the wire. Insert the European-style terminals respectively, and make sure that the stripped ends are inserted into the European-style terminal, and use crimping pliers to press tightly. And locked in the Grid and EPS(Off-grid) ports respectively. Finally, lock the waterproof cover screw.High voltage lithium battery+

The self-use mode is suitable for areas with low feed-in subsidies and high electricity prices.① When the power of PV is sufficient Active Charging or Discharge time period: PV will power the battery. When the battery is fully charged, PV will power the load, and then sell the surplus power to the grid.(The inverter will limit the output if Feed-in limit or zero feed-in is needed) (PV＞Battery charge, PV →Battery→Load → Grid) ② When the power of PV is insufficient Active Charging time period: PV will power the battery and the remaining power will be taken from the grid when PV is not enough. PV and grid power will charge the battery until it reaches the set value. And then PV will power the load and the remaining power will be taken from the grid when PV is not enough. The battery will not discharge at this time.(PV＜Battery charge, PV + Grid → Battery) Active Discharge time period: PV+BAT will power the loads together. If the power is still not enough, the remaining power will be taken from the grid. (PV＜Load, PV + Battery + Grid → Load) ③ Without PV power Active Charging time period: The grid supplies the loads and also can charge the battery.(PV=0 ,Grid →Load + Battery)Active Discharge time period: The battery will power the home loads rstly.

If the local grid company limits the grid-connected power of the inverter, the excess energy continues to charge the battery.

Same working logic with “Self-use” mode. This mode will maintain the battery capacity at a relatively high level. (Users' setting) to ensure that the emergency loads can be used when the grid is off. Customers no need to worry about the battery capacity.Battery min SOC can be set:30%-100%; Charge battery to min SOC can be set: 30%-100%. The EPS(Off-grid) mode is used when the power grid is off.
