Ø Connect PV Ø Connect AC Ø Connect battery Ø Turn on AC first Ø Then turn on
battery Ø Last turn on PV
If PV Grid and battery are available, system would work on the “normal” mode.
When the SPH on the normal mode, the screen showing “normal”, LED is green, if
SPH not enter normal mode successful,especially the LCD is red, you need to
check below:
Ø Make sure all the connection is correct. Ø All the external switches are on.
Ø Inverter built -in switch is on. Ø Make sure the lithium battery is on. Ø
Refer to Part 9.1 for correction.
You can refer to Part 6.4.4 for work mode setting, then configure monitor,
finish commissioning.
6.2 Operation modes
6.2.1 Normal mode Normal mode is working state which including online mode and
backup mode.
Online mode
User can set an appropriate priority mode according to request when SPH
working on the online mode. If customer uses the LCD and key settings, you can
only set one period, but if you use website settings, you can set up to three
periods of the priority mode. ( Refer to 6.4.4) Load first: load first is the
default mode, when it’s working in this mode, PV energy would offer to load
and battery prior; when PV is Insufficient, battery would discharge; when PV
is sufficient for load, the excess energy would feed to battery. If there is
no battery or battery is full, the excess energy would feed to Grid(except
anti -reflux ). Battery first: when SPH working in this mode, battery would be
charged first, it’s suitable working on the period when the electric charge is
low. user need to set the mode ON and OFF time, and the end time of battery
SOC. Users can set power rate which less than the battery maximum output
power. If the customer doesn’t enable the AC CHG (AC grid charging functions).
Inverter will charge battery by PV power as large as it can do. If the
customer enables the AC CHG (AC grid charging functions). Inverter will charge
battery by PV power and AC power from grid as large as it can do. Grid first:
when SPH working in Grid-first mode, the PV energy would feed to Grid first.
User can choose the period when electric charge is high. User need to set the
mode ON and OFF time, and the end time of battery SOC. user can set power rate
which less than the battery maximum output power. 31
Backup mode
If Grid lost, system would turn to backup mode (user can disable it, refer to
6.4.4) and AC output from EPS LOAD port, all the energy from PV and battery,
if the PV also lost, then only battery discharge. Mind you, SPH maximum output
power is 10000W in this mode, the load which connect with EPS LOAD should less
than 10000W. NOTICE: User only can set one period for battery first and Grid
first on the LCD, if user need set more pleases login shineserver. If user
needs Grid charge battery, user need input password on the SC surface and set
the AC CHG to enable.
6.2.2 Fault mode The SPH’s intelligent control system could monitor and
adjustment system’s status continuously, when SPH inverter monitoring anything
unexpected happen, such as system fault or machine fault ,the LCD will display
the fault information, in fault mode, the LED light will be lighten. NOTICE:
Ø The detail’s fault information please refer to 9.1 Ø Some fault information
is in order to remind users that might have some faults
occurred in inverter side.
6.2.3 Programming mode Programming mode indicates the SPH is updating, don’t
cut out power when it’s updating until the processing is finish, SPH inverter
would log out automatically when the updating finish and turn to other mode.
6.2.4 Checking mode Before SPH work in normal mode, it will go to self-check
mode. If all are ok, system will go to normal mode, otherwise, it will go to
fault mode.
6.2.5 Standby mode If the system hasn’t faults while the condition is not
qualified, SPH would stay at standby mode.

6.2.6 Shutdown mode
If customer need SPH inverter stop working, customer must disconnect all the
energy source, then SPH inverter will turn into shutdown mode automatically.
The following is the shutdown procedure: Ø Shutdown the PV side Ø Turn off
battery switch. Ø Shut down AC power of SPH. Then you can see the both LED and
LCD of SP are off. NOTICE: After all the actions are done, you still have to
wait for more than 5 minutes.

8 Attention of the installation environment, maintenance and cleaning
Heat dissipation performance is very important when SPH inverter work under
the environment of high temperature, better heat dissipation can reduce the
possibility of SPH inverter stops working. Growatt SPH series inverter without
fan so belongs to natural cooling, hot air from the top of the radiator, tie-
in battery, use environment for IP65, please pay attention to the temperature
of the installation environment, to ensure that the battery’s safety and the
normal work of the machine. When use battery, please pay attention to the
follow information: Caution: Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The
batteries may explode. Caution: Do not open or damage batteries. Released
electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic. Caution: A
battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short-circuit current.
The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries: a) ve
watches, rings or other metal objects. b) Use tools with insulated handles. c)
Wear rubber gloves and boots. d) Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of
batteries. e) Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting
battery terminals. f) Determine if battery is inadvertently grounded. If
inadvertently grounded, remove source from ground. Contact with any part of a
grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The likelihood of such shock
can be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and
maintenance(applicable to equipment and remote battery supplies not having a
grounded supply circuit). If SPH inverter doesn’t work for overheating or too
cold, solve it according to the following methods:
Ø Confirm whether the radiator air duct installation is reasonable, choose the
appropriate position before installation.
Ø If lead-acid batteries are connected, confirming the NTC battery is in a
good
installation.
Ø Confirm whether the battery temperature is too high, too high temperature of
battery can also lead to SPH fail to work, at this point, to ventilation,
cooling or still handle to the battery, please.
Ø If temperature is low, also can appear the battery low temperature
protection, the
battery will start with small load in low temperature output, after
temperature back to normal system can work normally, please be patient at this
time.
Ø If the temperature is too low, it is possible that battery will be low
temperature
protection, at this time, please pay attention to the working temperature
range listed in the specifications of the book.
Ø Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel
knowledgeable about batteries and the required precautions.
Ø When replacing batteries, replace with the same type and number of batteries
or
battery packs.
Ø General instructions regarding removal and installation of batteries.
Remark: All of above action should be operated by professional person, if you
want to do these works, you must make sure the whole system are off.
