4.2 Battery Compatibility

The inverter is compatible with a wide range of 48V battery types. Ensure your battery bank meets the 48V requirement for proper operation.

Figure 4: The inverter supports various 48V battery types, including Flooded (FLD), Sealed (SLA), GEL, NCM, LiFePO4 (LF4), and Li-ion (LF6) batteries. A 24V battery bank is required for operation.

4.3 System Diagram

The following diagram illustrates a typical setup for the ECO-WORTHY Hybrid Inverter, showing connections for solar panels, AC input (mains or generator), battery bank, and various AC loads.

Figure 5: A comprehensive diagram showing how the inverter integrates solar panels (2000-5000W), an AC generator or mains 220V, a 48V battery, and various household appliances (e.g., air conditioner, oven, fridge, toaster, water heater, coffee maker).

5. Operation

5.1 Control Panel and Display

The inverter features an intuitive control panel with an LCD display and buttons for monitoring and setting operational parameters.

Figure 6: The LCD display shows various parameters like input/battery voltage, output/load, AC output frequency, charging mode, battery type, charging voltage, and equalization charging voltage. The control buttons (SET, UP, DOWN, ENT) allow navigation and adjustment of settings.

LED Indicators:

• AC/INV (Yellow): Steady on indicates mains output; Flash indicates inverter output.
• CHARGE (Green): Steady on indicates charging completed; Flash indicates charging in progress.
• FAULT (Red): Steady on indicates a fault state.

Control Buttons:

• SET: Enter/Exit settings menu.
• UP: Navigate to previous choice/increase value.
• DOWN: Navigate to next choice/decrease value.
• ENT: Confirm/Enter options under the settings menu.

5.2 Charging Modes

The inverter offers four battery charging modes to optimize energy usage based on your preferences and available power sources.

Figure 7: Illustration of the four charging modes: Solar Priority, Solar Only, Mains Priority, and Hybrid Charge.

• Solar Priority: Prioritizes solar charging. Switches to grid power when solar input is insufficient.
• Solar Only: Charges exclusively from solar power.
• Mains Priority: Prioritizes charging from the utility grid. Switches to solar when grid power is insufficient.
• Hybrid Charge: Utilizes both solar and grid power for the fastest charging.

5.3 UPS Function and Output Modes

The inverter provides a reliable Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) function with three selectable output modes to suit different grid stability conditions.

Figure 8: The three output modes: Inverter First, Solar First, and Grid First, designed for different grid stability scenarios.

• Inverter First: Suitable for areas with a stable grid. The inverter prioritizes battery power, switching to grid only when battery is low.
• Solar First: Suitable for areas with a relatively stable grid. Prioritizes solar power, then battery, then grid.
• Grid First: Suitable for areas with an unstable grid. Prioritizes grid power, then battery, then solar.

5.4 Smart Monitoring

Utilize the integrated Wi-Fi module to connect the inverter to a dedicated mobile application. This allows for remote monitoring of system performance, battery status, and energy flow, as well as adjustment of certain parameters from your smartphone or tablet.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your ECO-WORTHY Hybrid Inverter.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the inverter with a dry cloth. Ensure ventilation openings are free from dust and debris.
• Connections: Regularly check all electrical connections for tightness and signs of corrosion.
• Environment: Ensure the installation environment remains within specified temperature and humidity ranges.
• Battery Health: Monitor battery voltage and health through the display or monitoring app. Follow battery manufacturer guidelines for maintenance.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your inverter, refer to the following general troubleshooting steps. For persistent problems, contact customer support.

• No Power Output: Check if the inverter is switched on, battery connections are secure, and battery voltage is sufficient. Verify AC input and output connections.
• Fault Indicator On: Note the specific fault code or indicator pattern on the LCD. Refer to the detailed fault code section in the full product manual (if available) or contact support with the fault information.
• No Charging: Ensure solar panels are connected correctly and receiving sufficient sunlight. Check battery connections and settings. Verify AC input if charging from grid.
