Introduction to the Grid-tied inverter

The Grid-tied inverter is used in photovoltaic system, it maximises the output of photovoltaic solar energy from solar modules, and allows the energy to be converted and fed through the power utility grid for normal everyday uses.

Product explained
Grid-tied photovoltaic system is made up of panels consisting solar modules to receive PV arrays, from here the solar energy is collected and formed as a direct electrical current, feeding through a Grid-tied inverter, transforms from DC to AC, then goes through a metering device, measuring and recording the amount of energy generated by the system, before feeding the power to the local utility grid. Our Grid-tied inverters play an important role by ensuring the whole transforming process is safely conducted, converting DC from solar system into single phase AC with correct voltages, same frequencies and phase, and the output sinewaves of the AC power totally matches our everyday used electricity. (figure 3-1-1)

Special features

1. Our Grid-tied inverter uses high speed and high specification MCU , so as to achieve a more efficient working Condition and better result in our system.
2. Advanced technology of Multi Power Point Tracking (MPPT) device in our system enhanced the maximum arrays to be collected.
3. High efficiency of MPPT is recorded to be over 99%.
4. Parallel connection on input of solar energy battery enable simple adjustment of the power rate for the utility grid.
5. High efficiency on the design of High Frequency Transformer.

LED indicators

Grid tied inverter operating mode

The grid-tied inverter has an automated working order, without needing to monitor. On detection the power output from solar panels, device will decide if the power was large enough to begin the conversion process. Coversion process includes 5 modes, Startup, Grid-tied begin, Standby, Stop, Fault-find.

1. Startup – When the start button is on, solar panel and grid lines both connected in normal condition, inverter enters working condition.
2. Grid-tied begin – Grid-tied begin mode is when inverter starts to convert the Direct Current fed through from PV solar panel to a stable Alternate Current and flow to the utility grid. To enable the maximum output of energy, the device uses MPPT control technology to track sun rays, this technology promises the maximum efficiency under diferent daylight and temperature conditions.
3. Standby – Standby mode is when device detects insufficient power feeding through from the solar panel, or device detects abnormal status such as voltages, frequencies, and temperatures not in the permitted range, the device enters standby mode.
4. Stop – Insufficient sunlight hence insufficient PV power feeding through to the device and device enters into the standby mode, when this condition continues and DC voltages falls below 12V for over 1 minute, the device will enter Stop mode.

Fault finding and troubleshooting
When error ocurs, fault find indicator starts flashing, device will enter Stop mode. Please see 3.4 error status on LED indicator.

(Battery) discharge grid-on mode (with ADJ functional model)

• A,The DC input of the system can be directly connected with the battery, Turn the knob of the inverter to the right into the battery mode, then the tracking function will be turned off, the output power will be adjusted from left to right, At this point the output power can be adjusted from 60W-350W or so arbitrary output to ensure that the inverter can work for a long time in the grid status.
• B, when the inverter connected to the battery discharge, if the battery voltage is too low, the inverter will automatically stop and cut off grid output to protect the battery over discharge to extend battery life.
• C,Different specifications of the input voltage of the inverter will be used with different voltage battery, the battery voltage protection point please refer to the following (figure5-1-4)

Battery low voltage

protection point

| 11V| 22 V| 33V| 44Vor55V| 66V| 88V
Battery high voltage

protection point

| 15V| 29V| 45V| 60Vor71V| 90V| 120V

Adjustable power function instructions

1. Press the button switch at position 3, the blue LED is on, the battery mode is enabled, turn the potentiometer knob, you can change the output power of the inverter.
   (Adjustable output power range can be viewed in the parameter table P10-P12)

2. When the inverter is discharged to the battery voltage is too low, the inverter will automatically stop the grid output to protect the battery,it will not affect the battery life due to undervoltage. During the shutdown process, if there are other independent solar charging controller to charge the battery, when the charging voltage reaches the battery start voltage, the inverter will automatically start the grid output.

3. Please not be connected the battery and the solar panel at the same time, Because the battery and solar panels connected to the inverter at the same time, the inverter can not determine whether the need for MPPT tracking function, it might cause the inverter operating voltage is too high and lead to inverter Conversion efficiency is low, the output power is unstable and so on. So please connect the battery separately or use the solar panel separately, Or on the solar panel side to connect a charging controller to charge the battery, the battery side connect inverter grid generation.

Installation environment

The building foundation of the intended area for installing the device must be safe, secure and stable. Figure 5-1-1 shows the image of our grid-tied inverter, using the paper template for securing the screws , mark the holes on the wall appropriately according to the dimension of the device , make sure the environment and the height for installing the device has enough clearance showing the LED indicators, and spaces around the deive for heat dissipation and for any future maintenance .

• a. Installed in dry and ventilated place.
• b. Installed for easy maintenance.
• d. Avoid installation in direct sunlight, reducing the overheating and reducing power.
• e. Avoid installation in dusty, fumesy environments and large air atmospheres.
• f. Make sure that the minimum distance between the inverter and the fixed object or adjacent inverter is 50CM or more.

Two pieces of photovoltaic solar panels in parallel connection diagram. After the solar panels in parallel,the no-load voltage unchaged of the panels.two current plus.
E.g: there are two solar panels of 37v(voc) ,Vmp29.4v,operating current(lmp)8.5A, these two panels in parallel after power conversation is [ (29.4v+29.4v)*8.5A=500W], the operating voltage unchanged,the working current doubled.

The connection diagram shows two solar panels in series, After two solar panels in series,the no-load voltage is two panels no-load voltage plus, The operating current is the operating current of a single solar panel. E.g.there are two solar panels of 37V(Voc),Vmp:29.4v,operating current(lmp)8.5A, after two solar panels in series that the power conversion is: [(29.4V+29.4)×8.5A≈500W], The operating voltage is the total operating voltage of the two solar panels, Maximum operating current unchanged.
After the series of no-load open-circuit voltage is high, pay attention to the inverter with the input voltage ismatched!Attention! that high voltage can not be connected to the low voltage specifications of the inverter, or the inverter will be damaged!
