INTRODUCTION
The VTAC Hybrid Solar Inverter series hybrid inverters are designed to increase energy
independence for homeowners. Energy management is based on time-of-use and demand
charge rate structures, significantly reduce the amount of energy purchased from the public
grid and optimize self-consumption.
OPERATION MODES
Self-Use
The Self-Use mode is for the regions with low feed-in tariff and high electricity prices. The
energy produced by the PV system is used to optimize self-consumption needs. The excess
energy is used to recharge the batteries, any remaining excess is then exported to the grid.
Note: Advance Setting
• When select 0 W under P_Feed menu, the inverter will export zero energy
to the grid.
• When select xx W under P_Feed menu, the inverter will export customized
energy to the grid.

The Time of Use mode is designed to reward customers who do their part to reduce demand
on the electric grid, particularly during peak usage periods. Use most of your electricity
from PV energy and during off-peak time periods, and you could significantly lower your
monthly bill.

PV CONNECTION
The VT-66036103 series hybrid inverter has two MPPT channels, can be connected with
two strings of PV panels. Please make sure below requirements are followed before
connecting PV panels and strings to the inverter:
• The open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current of PV string should not exceed the
reasonable range of the inverters.
• The isolation resistance between PV string and ground should exceed 300 kΩ.
• The polarity of PV strings are correct.
• Use the DC plugs in the accessory.
• The lightning protector should be equipped between PV string and inverter.
• Disconnect all of the PV (DC) switch during wiring.
Warning:
The fatal high voltage may on the DC side, please comply with electric
safety when connecting.
Please make sure the correct polarity of the cable connected with inverter,
otherwise inverter could be damaged.

STEP 6:
Insert the battery connector into the
inverter, if hear a “click”, it means the
battery connection is finished.
STEP 5:
Use an open-end wrench to
tighten the waterproof lock.
STEP 3:
Insert the wire harness into
the terminals according to “+”
and “-” polarity, make the
insulated terminals parallel
with the terminals , the
crimping screw torque is
2.0±0.1N.m

NOTE:
STEP 1:
PLEASE FOLLOW STEPS FOR AC CONNECTION
Qualified electrician will be required for the wiring.
The AC terminal contains “GRID” and “EPS”, GRID for load, and EPS for emergency
load.
Before connecting, a separate AC breaker between individual inverter and AC input
power is necessary. This will ensure the inverter be securely disconnected during
maintenance and fully protected from current of AC input.
An extra AC breaker is needed for On-Grid connection to be isolated from grid when
necessary. Below are requirements for the On-Grid AC-breaker.
• Connect DC protector or breaker first before connecting.
• Remove insulation sleeve 11mm(0.5 inch) length, unscrew the bolts, insert the AC
input wires according to polarities indicated on the terminal block and tighten the
terminal screws.
