- If the BMS generates fault information and disconnects the power after starting the PCS, it means that the battery has a problem. Check the battery SoC, voltage, and fault information and turn off the power of the ESS until service is performed.
- If the battery SoC is low, the battery may be charged from the grid by using the self-protection function (Emergency charging).
- This function is to prevent the shutdown of the ESS, battery deep discharge, and battery damage. Emergency charging is not an ESS fault, but a normal procedure.

Black Start
- Black Start is a wake-up function for when the Home 8 is in sleep mode.
- The Home 8 will go into sleep mode to protect the battery from over-discharging when the SoC of the Home 8 has reached 0 %. (e.g. In case the surplus energy from the PV system is not enough to charge the battery during a power outage.)
- The user or installer should press and hold the BLACK START (6s) button for more than 6 seconds when the battery can be recharged by the PV system or the utility grid. If 2 or more Home 8 units are installed, press the BLACK START (6s) button on each Home 8 unit.
- This feature could be still used in a power outage. In general, during a power outage, the PV system will not operate if the Home 8 is in sleep mode due to reaching 0 % SoC with no backup power. In this case, however, the user or installer can wake up the Home 8 in the morning, and then the Home 8 will be charged from the PV system WITHOUT supplying the backup load. Once the SoC of the Home 8 has reached the specific SoC level and has met other conditions, the system will automatically supply the backup power to the backup load with the PV system.
- The user or installer should wake up the Home 8 even though the utility grid has been recovered after the Home 8 is in sleep mode. In this case, the Home 8 will be charged from the utility grid up to the specific SoC level and the system will automatically operate following the pre-set operating mode.
INFO
- SoC 0% means the battery has run out of capacity. When the SoC reaches 0%, an alarm is sent through EnerVu and the LED Indications display 0%.
- When running the Black Start function, the battery will first start charging, and after a certain amount of charging, the system will operate normally using battery power.
- Before pressing the BLACK START (6s) button, make sure that the PV is operating normally.
