What are the different System Work Modes and how do they function?
Selling First (Generation limit control): This Mode allows hybrid inverter to sell back any excess power produced by the solar panels to the grid. If time of use is active, the battery energy also can be sold into grid. The PV energy will be used to power the load and charge the battery and then excess energy will flow to grid. Power source priority for the load is as follows: 1. Solar Panels, 2. Grid, 3. Batteries (until programmable % discharge is reached).
Zero Export To Load: Hybrid inverter will only provide power to the backup load connected. The hybrid inverter will neither provide power to the home load nor sell power to grid. The built-in CT will detect power flowing back to the grid and will reduce the power of the inverter only to supply the local load and charge the battery.
Zero Export To CT (Export limit control): Hybrid inverter will not only provide power to the backup load connected but also give power to the home load connected. If PV power and battery power is insufficient, it will take grid energy as supplement. The hybrid inverter will not sell power to grid. In this mode, a CT is needed. The installation method of the CT please refer to chapter 3.6 CT Connection. The external CT will detect power flowing back to the grid and will reduce the power of the inverter only to supply the local load, charge battery and home load.
Other Definitions related to Work Modes:
– Solar Sell: For “Zero export to load” or “Zero export to CT”. When active, surplus energy can be sold back to grid. PV Power source priority: load consumption, charge battery, then feed into grid.
– Max. sell power: Soft export. Allowed maximum output power to flow to grid.
– Zero-export Power: For zero-export mode, sets grid output power. Recommended: 20-100W to prevent feeding to grid. Hard export: if exceeded, inverter stops immediately.
– Energy Pattern: PV Power source priority.
– Batt First: PV power first charges battery, then powers load. Grid supplements if PV is insufficient.
– Load First: PV power first powers load, then charges battery. Grid supplements if PV is insufficient.
– Max Solar Power: Allowed maximum DC input power.
– Grid Peak-shaving: When active, grid output power is limited. If load exceeds limit, PV and battery supplement. If still insufficient, grid power increases.
Note on Limit Control: Customer can only use export limit control function by CT or meter.
How does the “Time of Use” function work in System Work Mode?
– Time of use: It is used to program when to use grid or generator to charge the battery, and when to discharge the battery to power the load. Only tick “Time Of Use” then the follow items (Grid, charge, time, power etc.) will take effect.
– Note: when in selling first mode and click time of use, the battery power can be sold into grid.
– Grid charge: utilize grid to charge the battery in a time period.
– Gen charge: utilize diesel generator to charge the battery in a time period.
– Time: real time, range of 01:00-24:00.
– Power: Max. discharge power of battery allowed.
– Batt (V or SOC %): battery SOC % or voltage at when the action is to happen.
It allows users to choose which day to execute the setting of “Time of Use”. For example, the inverter will execute the time of use page on Mon/Tue/Wed/Thu/Fri/Sat only.

How do Grid Connection Settings (Normal Connect, Reconnect After Trip, PF) work?
– Normal connect: The allowed grid voltage/frequency range when the inverter first time connect to the grid.
– Normal Ramp rate: It is the startup power ramp.
– Reconnect after trip: The allowed grid voltage/frequency range for the inverter connects the grid after the inverter trip from the grid.
– Reconnect Ramp rate: It is the reconnection power ramp.
– Reconnection time: The waiting time period for the inverter connects the grid again.
– PF: Power factor which is used to adjust inverter reactive power.
What are the Grid IP (Over/Under Voltage and Frequency) Protection settings?
– HV1: Level 1 overvoltage protection point;
– HV2: Level 2 overvoltage protection point; (Trip time, e.g., 0.10s)
– HV3: Level 3 overvoltage protection point.
– LV1: Level 1 undervoltage protection point;
– LV2: Level 2 undervoltage protection point;
– LV3: Level 3 undervoltage protection point.
– HF1: Level 1 over frequency protection point;
– HF2: Level 2 over frequency protection point;
– HF3: Level 3 over frequency protection point.
– LF1: Level 1 under frequency protection point;
– LF2: Level 2 under frequency protection point;
– LF3: Level 3 under frequency protection point.
How does the Grid Setting F(W) (Frequency-Watt) function work?
This series inverter is able to adjust inverter output power according to grid frequency.
– Droop f: percentage of nominal power per Hz. For example, “Start freq f > 50.2Hz, Stop freq f < 50.2, Droop f=40%PE/Hz" means when the grid frequency reaches 50.2Hz, the inverter will decrease its active power at Droop f of 40%. And then when grid system frequency is less than 50.2Hz, the inverter will stop decreasing output power.
For the detailed setup values, please follow the local grid code.
How do the Grid Settings V(W) (Volt-Watt) and V(Q) (Volt-Var) work?
– V(W): It is used to adjust the inverter active power according to the set grid voltage.
– V(Q): It is used to adjust the inverter reactive power according to the set grid voltage. This function is used to adjust inverter output power (active power and reactive power) when grid voltage changes.
– Lock-in/Pn 5%: When the inverter active power is less than 5% rated power, the VQ mode will not take effect.
– Lock-out/Pn 20%: If the inverter active power is increasing from 5% to 20% rated power, the VQ mode will take effect again.
For example: V2=110%, P2=20%. When the grid voltage reaches 110% times of rated grid voltage, inverter output power will reduce its active output power to 20% rated power.
For example: V1=90%, Q1=44%. When the grid voltage reaches 90% times of rated grid voltage, inverter output power will output 44% reactive output power.
For the detailed setup values, please follow the local grid code.
How do the Grid Settings P(Q) (Power-Reactive Power) and P(PF) (Power-Power Factor) work?
– P(Q): It is used to adjust the inverter reactive power according to the set active power.
– P(PF): It is used to adjust the inverter PF according to the set active power. For the detailed setup values, please follow the local grid code.
– Lock-in/Pn 50%: When the inverter output active power is less then 50% rated power, it won’t enter the P(PF) mode.
– Lock-out/Pn 50%: When the inverter output active power is higher then 50% rated power, it will enter the P(PF) mode.
– Note: only when the grid voltage is equal to or higher than 1.05 times of rated grid voltage, then the P(PF) mode will take effect.
What is the Grid Setting LVRT (Low Voltage Ride Through)?
Reserved: This function is reserved. It is not recommended.
How do I perform a Grid Parameter Check?

What are the options in the Generator (GEN) Port Use Setup Menu?
– Mode: AC couple on grid side / AC couple on load side / GEN connect to Grid input / On Grid always on / off grid immediately off.
– Generator Input Rated Power: Allowed Max. power from diesel generator.
– GEN connect to Grid input: Connect the diesel generator to the grid input port.
– SmartLoad Output: This mode utilizes the Gen input connection as an output which only receives power when the battery SOC and PV power is above a user programmable threshold. Example: Power=500W, ON: 100%, OFF=95%: When the PV power exceeds 500W, and battery bank SOC reaches 100%, Smart Load Port will switch on automatically and power the load connected. When the battery bank SOC < 95% or PV power < 500W, the Smart Load Port will switch off automatically.
– Smart Load OFF Batt: Battery SOC at which the Smart load will switch off.
– Smart Load ON Batt: Battery SOC at which the Smart load will switch on. Also, the PV input power should exceed the setting value (Power) simultaneously.
– On Grid always on: When selected, the smart load will switch on when the grid is present.
– Off grid immediately off: The smart load will stop working immediately when the grid is disconnected if this item is active.
– Micro Inv Input: To use the Generator input port as a micro-inverter on grid inverter input (AC coupled). This feature also works with “Grid-Tied” inverters.
– Micro Inv Input OFF: When battery SOC exceeds setting value, Microinverter or grid-tied inverter will shut down.
– Micro Inv Input ON: When battery SOC is lower than setting value, Microinverter or grid-tied inverter will start to work.
– AC Couple Fre High: If choosing “Micro Inv input”, as the battery SOC reaches gradually setting value (OFF), the microinverter output power will decrease linearly. When battery SOC equals setting value (OFF), system frequency becomes AC couple Fre high and Microinverter stops. This stops exporting power from the microinverter to the grid.
– Note: Micro Inv Input OFF and ON is valid for some certain FW version only.
– AC couple on load side: Connecting output of on-grid inverter to the load port of hybrid inverter. Hybrid inverter won’t show load power correctly.
– AC couple on grid side: This function is reserved.
– Note: Some firmware versions don’t have this function.
What are the options in the Advanced Function Setup Menu?
– Solar Arc Fault ON: This is only for US.
– System selfcheck: Disable. This is only for factory.
– Gen Peak-shaving: Enable. When the power of the generator exceeds its rated value, the inverter will provide the redundant part to ensure the generator will not overload.
– DRM: For AS4777 standard (Only DRMO is available).
– Backup Delay: When the grid cuts off, the inverter will give output power after the setting time. (e.g., 3ms). Note: for some old FW version, this function is not available.
– BMS_Err_Stop: When active, if the battery BMS fails to communicate with inverter, the inverter will stop working and report fault.
– Signal ISLAND MODE: When “signal island mode” is checked and inverter connects to grid, ATS port voltage is 0. When checked and inverter disconnects from grid, ATS port outputs 230Vac. With an outside NO type relay, it can realize N and PE disconnection or bond.
– Wind Turbine Settings (DC1/DC2): Various voltage and amperage settings (V1-V12).
– Ex_Meter For CT: For three-phase system with CHNT three-phase meter (DTSU666), select the phase where hybrid inverter is connected (e.g., A Phase).
– Meter Select: Select the corresponding meter type (CHNT-3P, CHNT-1P, Eastron-3P, Eastron-1P).
– Grid Side INV Meter2: If a string inverter AC couples at grid/load side with a meter, hybrid LCD shows string inverter output on PV icon. Ensure meter communication.
– ATS: Related to ATS port voltage. Better in “uncheck” position.
– Export power limiter: Sets allowed maximum output power to flow to grid.
– Import power limiter: When active, grid output power is limited. Priority lower than “grid peak shaving”.
– Low Noise Mode: Inverter works in “low noise mode”.
– Low Power Mode – MPPT Multi-Point Scanning: Checks if PV I/V is at Max Power Point. If not, adjusts I/V.
