Charging mode

  1. PV priority: PV charging is preferred, and Electric AC power supply system charging only starts when the PV fails. Make full use of solar power during the day, transfer to market electricity at night, can maintain the battery charge.Dipower-SAL-3-5KW-UL-Wall-Mounted-Off-Grid-Inverter- \(26\)
  2. Main supply first: main supply gives priority to charging batteries, and only start photovoltaic charging when Electric AC power supply system is invalid.Dipower-SAL-3-5KW-UL-Wall-Mounted-Off-Grid-Inverter- \(27\)
  3. Hybrid charging: photovoltaic and Electric AC power supply system hybrid charging, priority photovoltaic MPPT charging, photovoltaic energy is insufficient, Electric AC power supply system supplement. When the photovoltaic power is sufficient, the Electric AC power supply system power stops charging.Dipower-SAL-3-5KW-UL-Wall-Mounted-Off-Grid-Inverter- \(28\)
  4. Photovoltaic charging only (Only Solar): photovoltaic charging only, not the main supply, is charging to start. This way is the most energy-saving way; the battery power is from solar energy, used in areas with good light conditions.

Power supply mode

PV priority mode:
When the photovoltaic is invalid, switch to the Electric AC power supply system power supply and charging. The mode maximizes the use of solar energy while maintaining battery power and is suitable for relatively stable grid areas.
The priority of the power supply order realized is: Photovoltaic-electric AC power supply system-battery.Dipower-SAL-3-5KW-UL-Wall-Mounted-Off-Grid-
Inverter- \(30\)

Municipal Electricity priority mode:
Only switch to battery inverter power supply when there are no Electric AC power supply system, and switch to Electric AC power supply system charging and power supply when there are Electric AC power supply system. The equipment is equivalent to a backup UPS and is used in areas with power grid instability. Switching does not affect photovoltaic charging. The priority of the power supply order realized is: Electric AC power supply system- photovoltaic-battery.Dipower-SAL-3-5KW-UL-Wall-Mounted-Off-Grid-Inverter-

  • Inverse priority mode:
    Only when the battery voltage is lower than the setting point (04 setting point), switch to the city power supply, and when the city power charging battery voltage is higher than the (05 set point), switch to the battery discharge mode, and cycle the battery is charged and discharged. This model uses maximum DC power for grid stability areas. Switching does not affect photovoltaic charging. (Photovoltaic-battery-Electric AC power supply system priority power supply order). The priority of the power supply order realized is: photovoltaic-battery-Electric AC power supply system.Dipower-SAL-3-5KW-

  • Mixed load and grid connection settings:
    Mixed belt load mode, in Electric AC power supply system mode, photovoltaic only priority charging, surplus energy supply load, not feed into the grid; grid connection function, in Electric AC power supply system mode, photovoltaic priority charging, residual energy function load and feed into the grid.

Parallel operating instructions
There are two parallel modes of the inverter

  1. Single-phase parallel machine, up to 6 sets.

The mode of connection
The recommended battery wire and terminal specifications for a single machine are as follows:

Model Wire gauge Torque
SAL 3.5KW_UL 1 * 3 AWG 2-3 Nm
SAL 5KW_EU 1 * 2 AWG 2-3 Nm

NOTE : Make sure that all battery cables have the same length. Otherwise, there will be a voltage difference between the inverter and the battery, resulting in the parallel inverter does not work normally. The cable of each inverter needs to be connected together. In the case of the battery cable: you need to use the connector or junction row as a connector and then connect to the battery terminal. The bus wire specification of the battery terminal shall be X times that of the wire specification in the table above, and “X” indicates the number of parallel inverters. Follow the same principle for usage specifications for AC input and output wire.
The wire specifications of each AC input and output recommended for a single machine are as follows:

Model Wire gauge Torque
SAL 3.5KW_UL 1 * 7AWG 1.2-1.6Nm
SAL 5KW_EU 1 * 7AWG 1.2-1.6Nm

Pay attention to it! The battery and the inverter, as well as between the AC input and the inverter, should be connect ed to the empty open so that you can protect from the current and can also ensure the safe disconnect ion of the line during maintenance.
The recommended empty opening specifications for the battery access end of a single machine are as follows:

Model 1 set *
SAL 3.5KW_UL 140A / 60VDC
SAL 5KW_EU 160A / 60VDC

*If only one total available battery end is connected to the whole parallel system, the size of the space will be X times that of a single one, and X represents the number of parallel machines. AC input recommends recommended open specification (single-phase parallel):

Model 2sets 3sets 4stes 5stes 6stes
SAL 5KW_EU 80A/230VAC 120A/230VAC 160A/230VAC 200A/230VAC 240A/230VAC
--- --- --- --- --- ---

NOTE 1: SAL 3.5KW_UL, SAL 5KW_EU single set can be used 40A empty open, each inverter AC input terminal has to open an empty open.
NOTE 2: The three-phase parallel machine system can use the four poles for the three-phase similar machine system. The empty opening specification is based on the maximum current of which phase (the largest degree of the machine), or we can also use the practice of each access open opening above.

battery capacity 400AH 600AH 800AH 1000AH 1200AH

WARN! In the parallel system, all inverters must share a single battery pack. Otherwise, the machine will not work. Each photovoltaic panel module, should be independent of each other, not different machines share a photovoltaic module.

Single phase and machine operation
NOTE! All inverters shall be connected to the same battery pack, and the line length between each inverter and the battery is consistent.

Balanced battery charging

The machine contains a balanced charging function; generally, Y is for water batteries. It can reverse some cumulative negative chemical effects, such as the stratification effect, where the acid concentration at the bottom of the battery is higher than at the top. Equilibrium also helps remove sulfate crystals that may accumulate on the plate; a condition called sulfation that reduces the overall battery capacity of the cell if not controlled. Therefore, it is recommended that the batteries be balanced regularly.

How to use the balanced charging function
First, select the balanced charging function in item 21. Then select the following method settings:

  1. Item 20 sets the cycle balanced charging interval time
  2. Item 21 setting starts balanced charging immediately

When do you start a balanced charging
In the floating charging stage, when the cycle equilibrium charging and the start time are set, or the equilibrium charging is fixed immediately, the charging will enter the equilibrium charging stage.

Balanced charging time and charging deadline time
During the balanced charging phase, the machine will charge the battery as much as possible until the battery voltage reaches the voltage point of the balanced charging. It then lasts for a period of stability at this voltage point until the set equilibrium charging time ends.

Suppose the equilibrium charging stage does not reach the equilibrium charging point until the end of the set equilibrium charging time. In that case, the machine will extend the equilibrium charging stage until the voltage point is reached. If Y’s compensation charging voltage point does not come within the set extended time, the machine will stop the equilibrium charging and return to the floating charging stage.
