The installation of the inverter should be protected under shelter from direct sunshine or
any bad weather conditions as shown below:
Fig.2.1
The inverter should be installed in a cool & dry place with temperature from -25 to
60 (High ambient temperature will cause the inverter’s power derating).
The inverter LCD should be leveled with eyes and with enough space in the front for
inspection.
The inverter should be installed on a vertical wall or within 15°at most if backwards to the
wall
Fig.2.2
To avoid burning and electric shock, the inverter should be installed beyond reach of
children.
Make sure the installation position does not shake.

2.4.3 PV Connection
Before connecting PV panels/strings to inverter, please make sure:
1) Use the right PV connectors in the accessory box.
2) The voltage, current and power ratings of the PV strings are within theallowable range
of the inverter. Please refer to the Technical Data Sheet for voltage and current limits.
3) Make sure the PV switch of the inverter is in the “OFF” position during wiring.
4) PV strings could not connect to EARTH conductor.
STEP1:
Assemble the PV connectors from the accessory box.(PV cable must be firmly crimped
into connectors)
Fig.2.9
STEP2:
Connect the PV connectors to the inverter. There
will be a click sound if connectors are inserted correctly
into PV plugs.

STEP2:
Connect the grid connector and the EPS connector
to the inverter. Just follow the markings on the
inverter to connect them correctly.
2.7 Power key and Declara n for EPS Loads
Fig.2.17
The power button on the rear panel is only used for EPS function.
When mains power does not exist and EPS function is enabled, press and hold for 3
seconds, the inverter will enter backup mode;
When inverter operates in backup mode, press and hold for 3 seconds, inverter will exit
backup mode;
When inverter gives an alarm and shutdown in backup mode, press and hold for 3
seconds, inverter will clear alarm.
Inductive load: a non-frequency conversion air conditioner within 1.5P can be connected
to EPS side. Two or more may cause EPS output unstable.
Do not connect 3-phase inductive load(like motor) without Neutral line to EPS side.
Capacitive load: Total power <=0.6*nominal power of model.
2.8 Smart meter connection
Please Refer to the connection instructions in the meter
box for connection
2.6 Grid & EPS Connection
Use the AC connectors from accessory box for grid and EPS connection. An external AC
breaker(32A) is needed for on-grid connection to isolate from grid
when necessary .
STEP1:
Assemble the grid connector. Follow the markings on the
connectors, make sure 3L/N/PE lines are connected correctly.

Trouble Shooting
Working mode selection
Automatic mode: the automatic mode can maximize the self use rate of photovoltaic power
generation, and achieve the goal of not consuming grid power as much as possible within
the regulation range of the energy storage system. The load at any time is the first priority,
and charging is the second priority. When the battery is full, selling power to the grid is the
third priority. When the photovoltaic power is less than the load power, the battery will
automatically discharge to avoid consuming the power of the grid. The automatic mode can
meet the application needs of most families. It is generally recommended that users keep
the automatic mode setting.
Peak shaving and valley filling mode: when the battery capacity of the energy storage
system is small, the user's power consumption is relatively large, and there is a big peak
valley electricity price difference in the user's region, the user can choose whether to adopt
the peak shaving and valley filling mode according to his own power consumption. It should
be noted that after setting the peak shaving and valley filling mode, the user must correctly
set the peak valley period at the bottom of the page, and the period outside the peak valley
period is the flat period. Compared with the automatic mode, the self utilization rate of
photovoltaic power generation in the energy storage system will be reduced. During the
peak period, the priority of load & charging & selling power is the same as that in the
automatic mode; During the valley period, if the photovoltaic power is less than the load
power, the battery will not discharge. At this time, the load consumes the power of the grid,
and the user can set whether to charge the battery from the grid during this period; In the
flat section, the system only charges the battery with excess power when the photovoltaic
power is greater than the load power, and the battery will not discharge or get charged from
the grid.
Battery backup mode: in areas with unstable power grid, this mode can try to meet the
power demand of users during power loss. At the bottom of the setting page, you can set
whether to charge the battery from the grid in the battery backup mode.
Microgrid mode: applicable in areas without power grid.
The energy storage inverter provides four working modes to meet the needs of users in
different applications, namely
Automatic mode (default), peak shaving and valley filling mode, battery backup mode and
Microgrid mode.

Trouble Shooting
Power limit setting
Three phase unbalance setting
Users can choose whether to turn on the on-grid power limit function after the battery is
fully charged according to whether the local power grid company allows the photovoltaic
power being exported to the power grid. This function is turned off by default. When the
photovoltaic power is greater than the load power, the system will charge the battery. If the
battery is full at this time, if the on-grid power limit function is turned off, the excess
photovoltaic power will be sent to the power grid; If the on-grid power limit function is
enabled, the system will adjust the amount of power sent to the grid according to the power
limit percentage set by the user. For example, if the system is 10kW and the on-grid power
limit is 0%, the power export is completely prohibited; If it is 50%, after the system is fully
charged, the excess photovoltaic energy is allowed to send 5kW to the grid at most.
In some countries or regions, such as the Czech Republic, three-phase billing meters
charge independently on each phase. Users can choose whether to turn on the
three-phase unbalanced output function. It should be noted that in most countries,
three-phase billing meters are charged uniformly after three-phase summary, so it is not
necessary to turn on this function, because the conversion efficiency of the inverter will be
slightly reduced after turning on this function.
Valley time charging
Valley period & peak period
This function is only effective when the user selects the peak shaving and valley filling
mode, and it is generally not recommended to start it.
Peak and valley periods are only effective when the user selects the peak cutting and
valley filling mode. The system can set three Valley periods and three peak periods, and
the periods cannot overlap.

The peak time discharge setting is only effective when the user selects the peak shaving
and valley filling mode. During the peak time, the default setting is that the system automat-
ically adjusts the discharge power according to the household power detected by the smart
meter; If the smart meter is not installed, the user can select a fixed discharge power
according to the approximate power consumption.
The battery backup mode charging setting is only effective when the user selects the
battery backup working mode. You can set whether to turn on the mains power to charge
the battery, and the charging power and battery charging cut-off SOC.
