2.1 Intended Use
The Hyper Series are single phase solar hybrid inverters suitable
for both on-grid and off-grid operation. With Lithium batteries, PV
panels and a smart meter, the hybrid inverter is the central device
to make a solar storage system for increased self-consumption.
The Hyper Series must only be connected with a Soltaro lithium
battery.
To prevent personal injury and property damage and to ensure
long-term operation of the product, please read and follow all
the instructions and cautions on the inverter and this user manual
during installation, operation or maintenance at all times.
2.2 Important Safety Instructions
Danger to life from electric shock.
•Before performing any work on the inverter, disconnect all
DC and AC power from inverter and wait for at least 5
minutes.
•Do not touch DC conductors or any non-isolated cable
ends.
•If an error occurs, contact your local distributor or qualified
electricians.
•Make sure the inverter is not touchable from children.
Risk of burns from hot surfaces.
•The surface of the inverter might exceed 60℃, touching

4
the surface may result in burns.
•Do not touch hot surfaces before it cools down.
•Only authorized service personnel are allowed to install the
inverter or perform servicing and maintenance
•All powers, both AC and DC, should be disconnected from
inverter before attempting any maintenance or cleaning
or working on any circuits connected to inverter.
•The Inverter has a transformerless design on PV side. Either
positive or negative terminals of PV panels should not be
grounded.
•The frames of PV panels should be grounded for safety
reasons.
•Do not open inverter cover or change any components
without authorization, otherwise the warranty
commitment for the inverter will be invalid.
•Appropriate methods must be adopted to protect inverter
from electrostatic discharge, any damage caused by ESD
is not warranted by the manufacturer.

4.3 Operating Mode Introduction
4.3.1 On Grid Self-Use Operating Mode
The on grid self-use operating mode is recommended for the
system installed in area with a stable grid. The purpose is to
increase self-consumption of the clean PV energy. When Inverter
is set to work in this mode:
i. During daytime and there is sufficient PV Power,
•The PV energy is used to supply local loads with first priority
and then charge the battery, excessive energy will be fed
into grid*1*2.
•When battery is fully charged, PV energy is supplied to the
local loads and fed into grid*1*2.
ii. During nighttime or there is not sufficient PV Power,
•Battery is discharged to supply local loads, if extra power is
required, it will be imported from grid.
•When the battery SOC is below the setting value or fully
discharged, the inverter will stop working and local loads will

10
be supplied from grid.
•Thanks to the on-grid operation, the switch from battery
power, PV power and grid power is automatically and
seamless.
iii. When grid fails,
•When grid fails, the inverter will automatically disconnect
from grid and outputs power to the EPS port.
•When battery is discharged to the SOC lower threshold, the
inverter will stop working and wait for the grid to recovery or
there is sufficient power from PV panels to charge the battery.
•If grid fail is not so rare in your area, please do not set the
battery SOC lower threshold too low just in case.
iv. You can also:
•Set a schedule for the inverter to charge the battery using
cheap off-peak grid power.
•Specify the daily working periods of self-use for inverter.
*1: The inverter can be set not to feed power into the grid. But a
small amount of energy will still inevitably be fed into grid due to
unpredictable PV energy change and load on/off.
*2: Firmware update may be required to support this function.
For on-grid self-use operating mode, one can set the discharge
end SOC@Grid as low as the battery allows (10% or 20% for
example). Please refer to your local Soltaro battery technician
for minimum discharging end SOC.
4.3.2 Off Grid / Back-up Operating Mode*3
For system installed in area with a weak grid or even without grid,
the inverter should be working in off grid / back-up operating
mode:
i. When grid or diesel generator is available,
•The battery will be charged firstly from PV and secondly from

11
grid at the max allowable current.
•The battery will not discharge even when SOC reaches 100%.
•Local loads will be supported by grid and PV energy.
ii. When grid or diesel generator is not available,
•When there is enough energy stored in battery, the EPS port
will export power to support local loads firstly from PV. If
there’s excessive PV energy, it will be used to charge the
battery. Otherwise battery will be discharged.
•When the battery SOC is below the lower threshold, the
inverter will stop export power to the EPS port. All energy from
PV will be used to charge the battery until the SOC reaches
the EPS restart value.
iii. When working in this mode:
•The max power*3 from the EPS port is limited by inverter type,
battery type and battery SOC.
•A larger battery is always recommended for off grid / back
up configuration. You should never discharge the battery
too deeply to avoid it “Running Flat”.
•When there is overload or short circuit fault, the inverter will
stop working and alarm will sound. It will try to restart several
times before totally shutting down. Turn off or unplug load to
remove the short circuit fault or overload as soon as possible.
*2: Firmware update may be required to support this mode.
*3: Please be noted that refrigerators, air conditioners, water
pumps and etc., demand a large start up currents and may trip
EPS overload protection. Be sure not to connect too many of this
kind of loads to avoid frequent system shutdown and restart.
For off-grid / back-up operating mode, one should set a higher
discharge end SOC@Grid (above 50% for example). So that
there will be some energy in battery when a grid blackout
occurs.

5.2 Mounting the Inverter
Procedure:
The converter must be mounted in upright position with a
maximal tilt angle of 15 degree.
Minimum clearances around inverter should be applied, as the
following figure shown.

14
STEP 1:
•Please use the wall
mounting bracket as
template to drill 4
holes on walls.
STEP 2:
•Use expansion bolts
or correct wall fixings
to attach the
mounting bracket on
the wall tightly.
STEP 3:
•Lift and hang the
inverter on the
bracket.

shall comply with Australia/New Zealand National Wiring Rules.
Because the inverter does not maintain neutral integrity, an
external connection must be adopted in Australia and New

6.3 PV Connection
Please only use the PV connector from the accessory box for
connection.
Before connecting, please make sure:
•The voltage, current and power ratings of the panels to be
connected are within the allowable range of the inverter,
ensure polarity is correct, please refer to the Technical Data
in chapter 9 for voltage and current limits.
•Since the inverter is transformerless, please do not ground
either output of the PV panels. Ground the panel frames.
•The 3.68kW/5kW inverter is designed with 2 MPPT trackers, if
the inputs of the PV panels are paralleled, please consult
with your local distributor for technical support.
•If the inverter is equipped with an PV switch, please make
sure it is in the “off” position. Otherwise please use an external
PV switch to cut off the PV connection during wiring and
when necessary.
Procedure:
•Use IEC61730 class-A Rating PV modules.
•When exposed to light, PV panels will generate DC
voltage. Turn off the PV switch before connecting the wire.
STEP 1:
•Assemble the PV connectors from the accessary box.
•Make sure the polarity is correct.
