WARNING
Risk of burns!
When working on the storage
system:
▶Take off metallic jewelry.
▶Turn off the storage system.
▶Use insulated tools.
▶Wear personal protective
equipment, including safety
glasses, insulated gloves, and
safety shoes.
The battery modules installed in the storage
system are protected by multiple protective
devices and can be operated safely. Despite their
careful design, the battery cells inside the battery
modules may corrode or experience thermal
runaway in the event of mechanical damage, heat
or a fault.
Conduct in case of fire
Fire may occur with electrical equipment
despite its careful design. Likewise, a fire in the
vicinity of the equipment can cause the storage
system to catch fire, releasing the contents of the
battery modules.
In the event of a fire in the vicinity of the
product or in the storage system itself, proceed as
follows:
▶Only firefighters with appropriate protective
equipment (safety gloves, safety clothing, face
guard, breathing protection) are permitted
to enter the room where the burning storage
system is located.
There is a danger of electrocution when
extinguishing fire while the storage system is
switched on. There, before starting to extinguish
the fire:
▶Switch off the storage system to electrically
isolate it.
▶Switch off the main switch in the building.
If the storage system and/or main switch cannot
be safely switched off:
▶Observe the minimum distances specified
for the extinguishing agent used. The storage
system works with an output voltage of 230 V
(AC) and is therefore considered a low-voltage
system.
• A storage system fire can be extinguished using
conventional extinguishing agent.
• Water is recommended as an extinguishing
agent in order to cool the battery modules and
therefore, prevent thermal runaway in battery
modules which are still intact.

Function
Basic operating principle
Fig. 4 sonnenEvo Connection Concept
The sonnenEvo is an intelligent storage system
that monitors and controls energy production,
consumption and storage in the house. The storage
system is connected to the grid via the main load
panel.
The sonnenEvo can work with existing or newly
installed PV systems. The PV array does not
connect to the storage system directly. The storage
system uses a power meter and current transforms
to monitor PV power generation and energy
consumption in the building.
The sonnenEvo offers three modes of operation:
Self-consumption, Backup and Time of Use.
Self-consumption mode
Self-consumption is the part of the generated
PV power that has been either consumed at home
or stored in the battery. This is the default mode
of operation.
Generation > Consumption
If the generation of PV power is higher than the
consumption such as at midday, there is a surplus
of electrical energy. In this case the surplus energy
is used to charge the battery of the storage
system.
If the entire portion of the surplus cannot be
charged into the battery, the remaining surplus is
fed into the public electricity grid.
Consumption > Generation
If the consumption is higher than the generation
of PV power such as in the evening, there is a
deficit of electrical energy. In this case the battery
of the storage system is discharged to offset
as much of the deficit as possible. If the entire
deficit cannot be compensated by discharging the
battery, the remaining deficit is covered by the
public electricity grid.
The storage system also acts as a backup power
supply, meaning that if the utility grid goes out,

14
your appliances will be powered by the batteries
of the storage system conditioned upon installer
connection of back up function.
Backup mode
The sonnenEvo storage system automatically
switches from grid to backup operation and vice
versa. In the event of a grid failure, the storage
system automatically detects the grid outage and
will disconnect itself from the public electrical
and will create a microgrid using the power from
the batteries. Appliances connected to essential
loads circuit in the house will be supplied with
electrical power. Appliances connected to normal
loads circuit in the house will not be supplied with
electrical power.
During the backup operation, the micro-grid
produces grid-quality voltage and frequency so
that any grid-connected PV inverter in the micro-
grid will continue to operate. Therefore, during
backup operation, the essential loads circuit will
be powered by the energy stored in the battery
modules and the PV energy generated from the
PV array. The generated PV power will also charge
the battery modules, depending on generation and
consumption levels.
The PV array will first power the loads on the
essential load circuit, with any excess energy
charging the batteries in the storage system. If
there is insufficient PV to cover the loads, the
storage system will discharge its batteries to meet
the demand. The storage system can also turn the
PV inverter off if the battery modules become
fully charged.
To prevent battery overcharging while in backup
mode, the storage system will perform a frequency
shift by raising the frequency to a value outside
the PV inverter’s operating range. This shift in
frequency will disconnect the PV inverter from the
micro-grid while the storage system will maintain
the power supply to the loads. The storage system
will reduce the frequency to 60 Hz once the
state of charge falls below a certain threshold to
allow for a charge event. The PV inverter will then
automatically detect the frequency adjustment and
re-connect to the microgrid.
Emergency mode will set the backup buffer to
100%. The settings can be changed in the app.
Microgrid Re-Enabling
If the battery SOC drops to a minimum
threshold during backup operation:
▶The microgrid will be deactivated, and the
system will go to ‘standby mode’. The essential
loads and the external PV inverter on the
microgrid will disconnect consequently.
▶The system will remain in ‘standby mode’ until
the system time reaches the “Re-enabling time

15
one”, as previously set in the commissioning
process. Then, it will re-enable the microgrid
for seven minutes. The essential loads and
the AC-coupled PV inverter will re-connect
consequently.
▶If there is sufficient excess PV energy to charge
the battery, the microgrid will be maintained.
▶Otherwise, the microgrid will be deactivated,
and the system will go to ‘standby mode’ again.
The essential loads and the AC-coupled PV
inverter will disconnect consequently.
▶The system will repeat steps 2 to 4 according to
the “Reenabling time two” and “Reenabling time
three”, as previously set in the commissioning
process. The system will shutdown after the
third attempt to prevent further battery
discharge.
Blackstart Functionality
In case of a grid-outage the storage system will
automatically enable and switch-over to microgrid
operation depending on the state-of-charge of
the batteries. Alternatively, the system operator
has the ability to manually switch on the storage
system without the grid being present by using
the blackstart button. In the process, the storage
system will also activate the microgrid.
For correct operation, please follow the steps
below:
▶Ensure the storage system is turned on prior to
using the blackstart button. Green power button
in ON position.
▶Switch on the storage system using the green
power button.
▶Press and hold the blackstart button for up to 5
minutes until the status LED illuminates.
If there is sufficient excess PV energy to charge
the battery, the microgrid will be maintained.
Otherwise, the microgrid will be disonnected,
and the system will go to ‘standby mode’ again. The
essential loads and the AC-coupled PV inverter will
disconnect consequently.
Time-of-Use mode
This mode is similar in function to self-
consumption except that the storage system will
charge the batteries from the grid during the
specific time windows selected by the customer.
By setting the storage system to time of use mode,
customers can store electricity in the battery when
electricity prices are low, and then use this stored
electricity to supply the household appliances at
times of peak rate. The batteries are prevented
from discharging during the selected windows of
time of use.
If your electricity provider company offers you
time of use electricity tariffs, in which there is a
price difference between the peak and off-peak
rates, you may consider setting the storage system
to time of use mode.
