1. Safety
Before using the inverter, please read all instructions and cautionary markings on the unit and manual.
Put the instructions where you can take them easily.
The ESS inverter of ours strictly conforms to related safety rules in design and test. Local safety
regulations shall be followed during installation, operation and maintenance. Incorrect operation work
may cause injury or death to the operator or a third party and damage to the inverter and other
properties belonging to the operator or a third party.

1.2 Safety Precaution

Installation,maintenance and connection of inverters must be performed by qualified personnel, in
compliance with local electrical standards, wiring rules and requirements of local power authorities
and/or companies(for example: AS 4777 and AS/NZS 3000 IN Australia).
To avoid electric shock, DC input and AC output of the inverter must be terminated at least 5 minutes
before performing any installation or maintenance.

7KHWHPSHUDWXUHRIVRPHSDUWVRIWKHLQYHUWHUPD\H[FHHGႏGXULQJRSHUDWLRQ7RDYRLGEHLQJEXUQW
do not touch the inverter during before touching it.

Ensure children are kept away from inverters.

Don’t open the front cover of the inverter. A part from performing work at the wiring terminal (as
instructed in this manual), touching or changing components without authorization may cause injury
to people, damage to inverters and annulment of the warranty.

Static electricity may damage electronic components. Appropriate method must be adopted to prevent
such damage to the inverter; otherwise the inverter may be damaged and the warranty annulled.

Ensure the output voltage of the proposed PV array is lower than the maximum rated input voltage of
the inverter; otherwise the inverter may be damaged and the warranty annulled.

When exposed to sunlight, the PV array generates dangerous high DC voltage. Please operate according
to our instructions, or it will result in danger to life.
PV modules should have an IEC61730 class A rating.

If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the
equipment may be impaired.
Completely isolate the inverter before maintaining. Completely isolate the inverter shouldSwitch off
the PV switch, disconnect the PV terminal, disconnect the battery terminal, and disconnect the AC
terminal.
Prohibit to insert or pull the AC and DC terminals when the inverter is running.

In Australia, the inverter internal switching does not maintain the neutral integrity, neutral integrity must
be addressed by external connection arrangements.
In Australia, the output of backup side in switchbox should be labeled main switch UPS supply, the
output of normal load side in switchbox should be labeled mains switch inverter supply.

Don’t connect ESS inverter in the following ways:

The single PV panel string should not be connected to two or more inverters.

Product Introduction

2. Product Introduction
2.1 Overview
Hybrid Inverter
The hybrid inverters are high-quality inverter which can convert solar energy to AC energy and store
energy into battery.
The inverter can be used to optimize self consumption, store in the battery for future use or feed into
public grid. Work mode depends on PV energy and user’s preference. It can provide power for emergency
use during the grid lost by using the energy from battery and inverter (generated from PV).

breaker is working normally. Turn off the AC breaker and keep it open.
b. Connect the PE conductor to grounding electrode, and connect the N and L conductors to
AC breaker.
c. Connect the AC breakers to the grid/critical load/smart load.

Multiple inverters are not allowed to share a circuit breaker.

NOTICE

5.1 Inverter Working Mode
The inverter supports several different working modes.
5.1.1 Self Used Mode
Go to the "Hybrid work mode" menu, and select the "Self used mode" working mode.
Under Self Used mode, the priority of PV energy will be Load > Battery > Grid, that means the energy
produced by PV gives priority to local loads, excess energy is used for charging the battery, and the
remaining energy is fed into the grid.
This is the default mode to increase self-consumption rate. There are several situations of Self
used working mode based on PV energy.

a) Wealthy PV Energy
When PV energy is wealthy, the PV energy will first consumed by loads, the excess energy
will be used to charge the battery. then the remaining energy will be fed into the grid.

the insufficient part will be supported by battery. Then still insufficient parts will be supported by grid.

5.1.3 Time-Based Control Mode

Go to the "Hybrid work mode" menu, and select the "Time-based Control" working mode.
Under this mode, you can control the charging and discharging of the inverter. You can set the
following parameters based on your requirements:
- Charge and discharge frequency: one time or daily
- Charging start time: 0 to 24 hours
- Charging end time: 0 to 24 hours
- Discharge start time: 0 to 24 hours
- Discharge end time: 0 to 24 hours
You can also choose whether to allow the grid to charge the battery, which is prohibited by
default. If the user enable the "Grid charge function" , the "Maximum grid charger power" and
"Capacity of grid charger end" can be set. When the battery capacity reaches
the set value of "Capacity of grid charger end", the grid will stop charging the battery.

5.1.4 Back-up Mode

Go to the "Hybrid work mode" menu, and select the "Back-up Mode" working mode.
Under this mode, the priority of PV energy will be Battery > Load > Grid.
This mode aims at charging the battery quickly, and at the same time, you can choose whether
to allow AC to charge the battery.
Forbid AC charging
In this mode, the battery can be charged only with PV power, and the charging power varies
with PV power.

5.1.5 Off Grid Mode

When the power grid is cut off, the system automatically switches to Off Grid mode.
Under off-grid mode, only critical loads are supplied to ensure that important loads continue to
work without power failure.
Under this mode, the inverter can’t work without the battery.

 Commissioning

6. Commissioning
It is necessary to make a complete commissioning of the inverter system. This will essentially protect
the system from fire, electric shock or other damages or injuries.

6.1 Inspection
Before commissioning, the operator or installer (qualified personnel) must inspect the system carefully
and make sure:
1) The system is firmly installed correctly following the contents and notifications of this
manual, and there are enough spaces for operation, maintenance and ventilation.
2) All the terminals and cables are in good status without any damages.
3) No items are left on the inverter or within the required clearance section.
4) The PV, battery pack is working normally, and grid is normal.

6.2 Commissioning Procedure

After the inspection and make sure status is right, then start the commissioning of the system.
1) Power on the system by referring to the Startup section 5.2.1.
2) Setting the parameters on the App according to user’s requirement.
3) Finish commissioning.

How to enable the GEN (Port) feature?

Go to Hybrid Setting > GEN Port page and choose Smart Load Output.
Step. Set the value of Minimum PV power of Smart Load On(W). The default value is 500W.
Step. Set the value of Battery SOC of Smart Load On(%). The default value is 100%. For example,
set it as 90%.
Step. Set the value of Battery SOC of Smart Load Off(%). The default value is 80%.



If the values are set as described above, the situations are as follows:
Under Off-Grid mode, when the PV power reaches 50: •: DQGthe Battery SOC of Smart Load
LV•WKH*(1 3RUW IXQFWLRQLVHQDEOHGDQGWKH6PDUW/RDGLV21:KHQWKH%DWWHU\62&RI6PDUW
Load is 80%, the GEN (Port) function will be disabled and the Smart Load is Off.

Under On-Grid mode, enableAlways On with Grid , and then Smart Load is always ON. It is not affected
by the above parameters.
Always On with Grid switch is off by default. In this case, if you need to enable GEN Port, see how to
enable the GEN (Port) feature.
