5. Operation

The EASUN Hybrid Solar Inverter offers flexible operation modes to suit various energy needs.

5.1. Operating Modes

The inverter supports three main hybrid operating modes:

  • Grid-Tie with Backup: Utilizes solar power, charges batteries, and feeds excess power to the grid, with battery backup for outages.
  • Grid-Tie Only: Primarily uses solar power and feeds excess to the grid, without battery storage.
  • Off-Grid Mode: Operates independently from the grid, relying on solar and battery power.
