5.Export Control
This function allows the inverter able to control energy exported to the grid.
There are user value and factory value. The factory value is default which can
not be charged by user. The user value set by installer must be less than the
factory value.
6.Set work mode
There are 4 work modes for choice. Self use/ Back Up Mode/ Feed in Priority/
Force Time Use All these work modes is available for on-grid condition only:
Name | Description |
---|---|
Self Use | The self-use mode is suitable for areas with low feed-in subsidies |
and high electricity prices.
① When the power of PV is sufficient
Active Charging or Discharge time period: PV will power the battery. When the
battery is fully charged, PV will power the load, and then sell the surplus
power to the grid.( The inverter will limit the output if Feed-in limit or
zero feed-in is needed) (PV>Battery charge, PV →Battery→Load → Grid)
② When the power of PV is insufficient
Active Charging time period: PV will power the battery and the remaining power
will be taken from the grid when PV is not enough.
PV and grid power will charge the battery until it reaches the set value. And
then PV will power the load and the remaining power will be taken from the
grid when PV is not enough. The battery will not discharge at this time.
(PV<Battery charge , PV + Grid → Battery)
Active Discharge time period: PV+BAT will power the loads together. If the
power is still not enough, the remaining power will be taken from the grid.
(PV<Load, PV + Battery + Grid → Load)
③ Without PV power
Active Charging time period: The grid supplies the loads and also can charge
the battery. (PV=0 ,Grid →Load + Battery)
Active Discharge time period: The battery will power the home loads rstly. If
the battery power is not enough ,the remaining power will be taken from the
grid .The inverter will enter into the standby state.(PV=0 ,Battery+Grid→Load)
Battery min SOC can be set:10%-100%;Charge battery to min SOC can be
set:10%-100%.
Feed-in priority| The Feed-in priority mode is suitable for areas with high
feed-in subsidies, but has feed-in power limitation.
①When the power of PV is sufficient
Active Charging time period: PV power the battery to the set value, and then
power the load, and sell the surplus power to the grid. If the local grid
company limits the grid-connected power of the inverter, the excess energy
continues to charge the battery. (PV>Battery, PV→Battery→Load→Grid → Battery)
Active Discharge time period: PV will power the loads rstly, and surplus power
will feed-in to the grid.
(PV< Load, PV → Load → Grid )
②When the power of PV is insufficient
Active Charging time period:PV will power the battery and the remaining power
will be taken from the grid when PV is not enough.
PV and grid power will charge the battery until it reaches the set value. And
then PV will power the load and the remaining power will be taken from the
grid when PV is not enough. The battery will not discharge. (PV< Battery
charge, PV + Grid → Battery) Discharge time period: PV+BAT will power the
loads together. If the power is still not enough, the remaining power will be
taken from the grid. (PV< Load, PV + Battery + Grid → Load)
③Without PV power
Active Charging time period :The grid will power the home loads and also
charge the battery. (PV=0, Grid → Load + Battery) Active Discharge time period
:The battery will power the home loads rstly. If the battery power is not
enough, the remaining power will be taken from the grid. The inverter will
enter into the standby state.(PV=0 , Battery+Grid → Load) Battery min SOC can
be set:10%-100%; Charge battery to min SOC can be set: 30%-100%.
Backup mode| The Back-up mode is suitable for areas with frequent power
outages. Same working logic with “Self-use” mode. This mode will maintain the
battery capacity at a relatively high level. (Users’ setting) to ensure that
the emergency loads can be used when the grid is off. Customers no need to
worry about the battery capacity.
Battery min SOC can be set: 30%-100%; Charge battery to min SOC can be set:
30%-100%.
EPS (Off-grid)| The EPS (Off-grid) mode is used when the power grid is off.
System will provides emergency power through PV and batteries to supply power
to the household loads. (Battery is necessary )
①When the power of PV is sufficient
PV will power the loads rstly, and surplus power will charge to the battery.
(PV> Load, PV → Load → Battery)
②When the power of PV is insufficient
The remaining power will be taken from the battery. (PV<Load, PV+battery →
Load → Battery)
③Without PV power
The battery will power the emergency loads until the battery reached the min
SOC, then the inverter will enter into the
idle mode. (PV=0, Battery → Load) EPS (off-grid) SOC-min condition is
adjustable within the range of 10%-25%;
