5. Setup
The installation of a hybrid solar system is complex and requires adherence to local building and electrical codes. It is strongly recommended that a certified professional handles the installation.
5.1. Site Assessment and Planning
Before installation, a thorough site assessment is necessary to determine optimal solar panel placement, cable routing, and inverter/battery location. Consider sunlight exposure, structural integrity of mounting surfaces, and proximity to the electrical panel.
5.2. Component Placement
- Solar Panels: Mount panels securely on a roof or ground array, ensuring proper tilt and orientation for maximum sun exposure.
- Inverter: The inverter should be installed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Its IP65 rating provides protection against dust and water jets, but it should still be protected from direct harsh weather if possible.
- Battery: The lithium battery should be installed in a secure, temperature-controlled environment, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
5.3. Wiring Connections
Follow the wiring diagram provided with your specific inverter model. General connection steps include:
- Connect solar panels to the inverter's PV input using MC4 connectors.
- Connect the battery to the inverter's battery terminals.
- Connect the inverter's AC output to your home's electrical load.
- Connect the inverter to the utility grid (if applicable) via a meter.

5.4. Initial Power-Up
After all connections are verified, follow the inverter's specific power-up sequence. Typically, this involves turning on the battery breaker, then the solar PV breaker, and finally the AC grid breaker.

6. Operating Instructions
The Dawnice Hybrid Solar System operates automatically to optimize energy flow based on solar availability, battery charge, and grid connection.
6.1. Daytime Operation
During daylight hours, solar panels convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. The inverter then converts this DC into alternating current (AC) to power your home's loads. Any excess solar energy will charge the battery. Once the battery is fully charged, surplus energy can be fed back into the utility grid, potentially generating economic benefits.
6.2. Nighttime Operation
At night or during periods of low solar production, the stored energy in the battery is discharged to power your home's loads. If the battery charge drops below a predefined protection level, or if the load demand exceeds the battery's output, the system will automatically draw power from the utility grid to ensure continuous supply.
6.3. Mobile Control and Monitoring
The system supports mobile control and monitoring via Bluetooth, WiFi, and a dedicated application. This allows you to easily view current data, system status, and manage settings remotely. The integrated Intelligent BMS (Battery Management System) provides multi-protection for the battery, ensuring its longevity and safe operation.

7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the optimal performance and longevity of your solar system. Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance.
7.1. Solar Panels
- Cleaning: Periodically clean solar panels to remove dust, dirt, leaves, or snow that may reduce efficiency. Use soft brushes and water; avoid abrasive materials.
- Inspection: Annually inspect panels for any physical damage, loose connections, or signs of corrosion.
