1.1 Safety Instruction
As dangerous voltages and high temperature exist within the Solar Intelligent Energy System (SIES),
only qualified and authorized maintenance personnel are permitted to open and repair it. Please
make sure SIES system is turned off before open and repair it.
This manual contains information concerning the installation and operation of SIES system. All
relevant parts of the manual should be read prior to commencing the installation. Please follow the
local stipulation meantime.
Any operation against safety requirement or against design, manufacture, safety standard, and are
out of the manufacturer warranty.
1.2 General Precaution
Do not expose to dust, rain, snow or liquids of any type, it is designed for indoor use. DO NOT block
off ventilation, otherwise SIES system would be overheating.
To avoid fire and electric shock，make sure allcables selected with right gaugeand being connected
well. Smaller diameter and broken cable are not allowed to use.
Please do not put any inflammable goods near to SIES system.
Never place unit directly above batteries, gases from a battery will corrode and damage energy
storage system.
1.3 Precaution regarding battery operation
Use plenty of fresh water to clean in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes and consult
with doctor as soon as possible.
The battery may generate flammable gas during charging. Provide adequate ventilation during
charging. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of a battery.
Do not put the metal tool on the battery; spark and short circuit might lead to explosion.

REMOVE all personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches while working
with batteries. Batteries can cause short-circuit current high enough to make metal melt, and could
cause severe burns.
A battery circuit breaker was built in the intelligent power distribution box.
1.4 Precaution regarding photovoltaic
Photovoltaic produce electrical power when exposedto light andcancausean electricshock, energy,
or fire hazard. Series fuse protection or PV box maybe required, depending on the type and
configuration of the photovoltaic used in system. Series fuse, diodes and PV circuit breaker were
built in our PV box.

2. System Introduction
SIES is a self-consumption hybrid PV system developed by TBB power. Working together with
various kinds of battery, SIES can take advantage of energy from sun, grid or generator, in order to
realize energy independent. With built-in AGS (Automatic Generator Start) function, SIES can
automatically start or stop generator.
As an independent power solution for household and small business, SIES assures you the
continuous power and immunes to power shedding or blackout. It is the reliable solution for areas
where have no power supply or suffer electricity shortage.
Combined of MPPT charge controller, heavy duty bi-directional inverter, energy management
system, energy meters, circuit breakers and central monitor, SIES is a fully integrated system with
all components well configured and programmed.
Designed with the concept of ”Plug and Play”, it requires no further configuration and much less
connection effort. System installation is quite easy and system performance is strengthened
accordingly.

2.1 Work Modes of SIES
SIES has multiple work modes, which can be configured through SmartPhone APP or Web-based
Monitoring Platform.
2.1.1 Solar Hybrid mode
This work mode is for those areas suffering from frequent power shedding. Energy from solar will be
the prioritized source for powering the loads and meanwhile charging the battery. When it is sunset
and grid is available, grid will be major source to power the loads and charge battery. Only if there
is power blackout, will battery be discharged to power the loads.

Description
Solar Hybrid
Solar > Grid > Battery
1. During daytime, Solar Energy has priority to power the loads
and at the same time charge battery.
2. If Solar Energy is not sufficient and grid is available, the grid
will be introduced to power the loads and charge battery.
3. Upon power blackout, battery will be discharged to power the
loads.
2.1.2 Energy Storage mode
There are two scenarios:
2.1.2.1 Scenario A: Grid is not available
This work mode is mainly working for areas without grid. Energy from solar is the prioritized source
for powering the loads and meanwhile charging the battery. When it is sunset, battery will be
discharged to power the loads. If battery has been deeply discharged, SIES will start the diesel
generator in order to power the loads and meanwhile charge the battery.

2. If Solar Energy is not sufficient, battery will be
discharged to power the loads.
3. When battery is discharged to low voltage level,
generator will be automatically started to power
the loads and charge the battery.
2.1.2.2 Scenario B. Grid is available but not the preferred energy source
This work mode can also be useful for areas where have grid but the people want to be independent
from grid. Energy from solar will be the prioritized source for powering the loads and meanwhile
charging the battery. When it is sunset, battery will be discharged to power the loads. Only if battery
is deeply discharged, grid will be introduced to power the loads. Furthermore, the system can be
configured whether the power from gird will be used for charging battery or completely not.

2.1.3 Power Backup mode
This work mode is aiming at those area suffering occasional power blackout. Grid is the main power
source, and PV and grid will charge the battery together. Battery is to be discharged to power the
loads only if there is power blackout.

2.7 Maintenance bypass
Upon failure of Energier Pro, the Maintenance Bypass, which is located in Smart Box, can be used
for the purpose of system maintenance. As a result, on one side, the Energier Pro can be safely
dismantled from the rest of SIES for further examining and repairing, and on another side, the loads
can be continually powered by available grid or generator.
Please refer to Chapter 5.5 for more details of maintenance bypass.
This operation might damage bi-directional inverter, and can ONLY be performed by
professional. The failure of inverter due to unauthorized operation is out of warranty.
2.8 Intelligent charging management
SIES coordinates the battery charging from two chargers (Battery charger of Energier Pro and Solar
Mate MPPT charge controller) and charges battery according to multiple parameters related with
battery. Energy generated from PV array will be prioritized power source and grid as supplement
one, as a result the charging current won’t exceed the limit.
2.9 AGS (Automatic Generator Start)
With the built-in AGS function, SIES can automatically start the generator once the predefined
conditions are met. The conditions can be battery voltage, power of loads and length of time. A
software for Windows system is provided to easily program the conditions of starting and stopping
generator.
2.10 Load management (programmable AC output)
AC outputs L2 and L3 are for smart load control and can be programmed to control the specific loads,
for example air conditioner, water heater, etc. The load control can be based on combination of
conditions such as load power, battery SoC, length of time, or accumulated energy consumption of
relevant load.
