• Battery Wire: 2AWG (American Wire Gauge)
• AC Loads Wire: 7AWG

Always ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated. Consult local electrical codes for specific requirements.

4. Operating Modes

The inverter offers flexible operating modes to suit various power requirements and grid conditions.

4.1. Output Modes (UPS Function)

The inverter provides three output priority modes to manage power delivery to your loads, functioning as an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).

Image: Flowchart depicting the three reliable UPS output modes: Inverter First, Solar First, and Grid First, with descriptions of their suitable applications.

• Inverter First: Prioritizes power from the inverter (battery/solar). Suitable for areas with stable grid power where you want to maximize self-consumption.
• Solar First: Prioritizes solar power, then battery, then grid. Suitable for areas with relatively stable grid power, aiming to use solar energy primarily.
• Grid First: Prioritizes utility grid power, then inverter (battery/solar). Suitable for areas with unstable grid power, ensuring continuous supply from the grid when available.

4.2. Battery Charging Modes

The inverter supports four battery charging modes to optimize energy storage based on your preferences and available sources.

Image: Illustrations of the four battery charging modes: Solar Priority, Solar Only, Mains Priority, and Hybrid Charge, explaining how each mode utilizes solar and grid power.

• Solar Only: Charges the battery exclusively from solar panels.
• Mains Priority: Charges the battery primarily from the utility grid, switching to solar if the grid is insufficient.
• Solar Priority: Charges the battery primarily from solar panels, switching to the utility grid when solar is insufficient.
• Hybrid Charge: Utilizes both solar and utility grid power simultaneously for the fastest charging.
