What is Watt sonic All-in-one ESS?
THE FUTURE OF SUSTAINABLE ENERGY
Watt sonic All-in-one ESS is a smart hybrid energy storage system that turns
solar panels into an all-day resource while offering backup power in the event
of a grid outage. Watt sonic All-intone ESS enables storage of renewable
energy, allowing optimized home energy control and an increasing amount of
total electricity production to come from renewable sources. Reliable
renewable energy improves the resiliency of the grid, reduces energy costs,
and increases the impact of electric vehicle ownership.
POWER WHEN NEEDED
Wattsonic All-in-one ESS enables the storage of energy from solar panels
during the day, or from the grid when energy rates are low; discharges energy
for backup or use
at night; and automatically optimizes home energy. Wattsonic All-in-one ESS
thereby maximizes solar consumption and reduces energy spending.
A FLEXIBLE SOLUTION
Wattsonic All-in-one ESS can be charged from solar or grid power and can
provide backup power.
If greater amounts of energy are needed, multiple Wattsonic All-in-one ESS can
be installed together to work as a larger system.
Inverter Introduction
Basic features
Function
Watt sonic WTS series is also known as hybrid inverter or storage inverter,
which is mainly used to combine the PV array, lithium battery, loads and power
grid to realize intelligent power management and dispatching.
The WTS 3~8kW series hybrid inverter contains 8 models which are listed below:
WTS-3KW-HVS, WTS-3.6KW-HVS, WTS4.2KW-HVS, WTS-4.6KW-HVS, WTS-5KW-HVS, WTS-6KW-
HVS, WTS-7KW-HVS, WTS-8KWHVS.
Applicable grid type
The applicable grid types of the Wattsonic WTS 3~8kW series are TN-S, TN-C,
TN-C-S and TT. When applied to the TT grid, the voltage of N to PE should be
less than 30V.
Schematic Diagram of Hybrid System
The hybrid solar system is usually composed of the PV array, hybrid inverter,
lithium battery, loads and power grid.
Operation Modes
Watt sonic WTS Hybrid inverter has the following basic operation modes and you
can configure the operation mode as per your preference in the App.
General Mode
In this working mode, when the power from the PV array is sufficient, PV power
will supply the loads, battery, and grid by the following sequence:
Loads>Battery>Grid.
PV power will supply the loads with priority, and secondly charge the battery
if exceed PV energy, and then feed to the grid. (You can set the power to the
grid to 0W if the local grid doesn’t allow through APP or inverter display).
When the PV power is insufficient, the battery will discharge to supply loads,
and the grid will join in if the battery power is not enough to supply loads.
Peak Load Shifting Mode
Setting Step: General Mode– >Pmax.
Screen Setting step:
- General Settings → Work Mode Set → General Mode
- Advanced Settings → Peak load Shifting → ON
- Advanced Settings → SetMaxGrid → XXX (kVA) APP Setting step: General Mode → To Set
→Peak load Shifting ON → Set Max Grid (kVA)
When the loads consumption more than the Pmax, the power exceeded Pmax (cannot be higher than the inverter max output power) will be supplied by the inverter. Inverter will use power from PV array to supply loads first and battery second if it isn’t enough.
In this working mode, set the Pmax from grid in the App can realize the “Peak Load Shifting”. When the loads consumption less than the Pmax, loads are supplied by the PV array and grid together.
-
To realize the “Peak Load Shifting” function, the load power that exceeded Pmax has to be within the inverter max output power, otherwise, the inverter will only output the max power which allowed.
UPS Mode
In this working mode, the inverter will use the power from PV or grid (Set by App) to charge the battery with full power and top priority until it is fully charged, and as long as the grid is there, the battery won’t discharge.
When the grid is cut off, power from PV and battery will suppy real-time loading connected to inverter back-up port immediately within 10ms. -
During UPS mode, if battery long time no discharge, the inverter will discharge and charge battery periodically(every 1 week) with small current roughly 1A to to reset battery SOC.
Economy Mode
In this working mode, the customer can set time-based scheduled charge and discharge by App, inverter will use the power from PV or grid(selectable by APP) to charge the battery in the scheduled period.
Inverter will use power from PV and battery to supply loads in the scheduled period and the insufficient part will be supplied by the grid.
Off-Grid Mode
In the purely off-grid mode, power from PV will supply the back-up loads
firstly and then charge the battery if there is surplus PV generation.
When the power from PV is weak, the battery will discharge to supply back-up
loads together with or without PV.
Off-grid peak load capability
Watt sonic WTS hybrid inverter overloading ability in off-grid work mode
describes as the table:
Storage conditions
- Inverter must be stored in its original packaging.
- The storage temperature should be in the range of -30 ° C and + 60 ° C, and the relative humidity stored is less than 90%.
- If a batch of inverters needs to be stored, the height of each pile should be no more than 6 levels.

Wattsonic WTS hybrid inverter electrical wiring diagram
This diagram shows Wattsonic WTS 6~12kW series hybrid inverter wiring
structure and composition, concerning the real project, the installation and
wiring have to be in line with the local standards.
Single inverter wiring diagram
This diagram is an example without special requirement on electrical wiring
connection. Neutral line of AC supply can be isolated or switched.
This diagram is an example for Australia and New Zealand. Neutral line of AC supply must not be isolated or switched.
External ground connection
Connect the inverter and ground bar through PE wire to achieve the purpose of
grounding protection. Please always remember wiring the PE wire before wiring
other wires.
Danger: Do not connect the N-wire as a protective ground wire to the
inverter casing. Otherwise, it may cause electric shock.
Attention: Good grounding is good for resisting surge voltage shock and
improving EMI performance. Inverters must be well-grounded.
For a system with only one inverter, just ground the PE cable.
For a multi-inverter system, all inverters PE wire need to be connected to the
same grounding copper bar to ensure equipotential bonding.
Ground terminal connection steps:
- The external grounding terminal is located in the lower right side of the inverter.
- Fix the grounding terminal to the PE wire with a proper tool and lock the grounding terminal to the grounding hole in the lower right side of the inverter.
Inverter PV string connection
The following principles must be considered when making electrical
connections to the inverter:
- Disconnect the AC breaker on the grid side.
- The DC switch of the inverter must be turned to the “OFF” position.
- The number and type of the PV panels connected in the two strings of one MPPT must be same.
- Make sure the maximum output voltage of each PV string does not exceed 550V.
DC connector assembly procedures
- Select the appropriate photovoltaic cable:
Cable type| Conductor transverse area(mm²)
---|---
General photovoltaic cable| Scope(mm²)| Recommended value(mm²)
2.5-4.0| 4 - Peel off the DC cable insulation sleeve for 7 mm.
- Disassemble the connector in the accessory bag.

- Insert the positive and negative cables into the corresponding positive and negative connectors, pull back the cable to ensure that the terminal is tightly attached in the connector.
- Use an open-end wrench to screw the nut to the end to ensure that the terminal is well sealed.
Warning 1.Before assembling the DC connector, make sure that the cable
polarity is correct.
Warning 2.Use a multimeter to measure the voltage of the DC input string,
verify the polarity of the DC input cable, and ensure that each string voltage
is within 1000V.
Inverter battery connection
The following principles must be considered when making battery connection:
- Disconnect the AC breaker on the grid side.
- Disconnect the breaker on the battery side.
- Turn the inverter DC switch to the “OFF” position.
- Make sure the maximum input voltage of battery is within the inverter limitation (180~750V). For 2.3kWh LFP module, the operation voltage range of each battery module is 60V~87.6V, so usually suggested to series connected 3 to 8 modules.
