4. Installation & Setup

Proper installation is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of your hybrid solar inverter. Ensure all connections are made by a qualified electrician and adhere to local electrical codes.

4.1 Mounting the Inverter

• Choose a suitable location that is dry, well-ventilated, and protected from direct sunlight and moisture.
• Ensure sufficient clearance around the inverter for proper airflow and cooling.
• Mount the inverter vertically on a sturdy surface using appropriate fasteners.

4.2 Wiring Connections

Follow the wiring diagram carefully. All wiring should be performed with the inverter and all power sources disconnected.

Figure 4.1: Solar System Connection Diagram. This diagram illustrates the connections for solar panels, generator, utility grid, 24V battery, and household loads to the inverter. It shows the PV input, battery input, AC input, and AC output terminals.

4.2.1 Battery Connection

• Connect the 24V battery bank to the battery input terminals on the inverter. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).
• Use appropriate cable gauges for the battery connections to handle the expected current.
• The ANJ-3KW-LV-WIFI model supports a 24-volt DC system and is recommended for use with batteries of at least 100 ampere-hours capacity.

Figure 4.2: Inverter Battery Connection. This diagram shows wiring configurations for both 12-volt and 24-volt battery systems, emphasizing correct series/parallel connections for the desired voltage.

4.2.2 PV (Solar Panel) Connection

• Connect the solar panel array to the PV input terminals. Observe correct polarity.
• Ensure the total open circuit voltage of the PV array does not exceed 500VDC.
• The MPPT voltage range is 60-450VDC. Ensure your PV array voltage falls within this range for optimal charging.

4.2.3 AC Input Connection

• Connect the utility grid or generator AC power to the AC input terminals.
• The inverter supports 110/120VAC input with auto-sensing frequency (50/60Hz).

4.2.4 AC Output Connection

• Connect your household loads or appliances to the AC output terminals.
• The inverter provides 3000W continuous AC output at 110/120VAC.

4.3 Initial Power-Up

• After all connections are secure, switch on the battery breaker first.
• Then, switch on the PV array breaker (if applicable).
• Finally, switch on the AC input breaker (if applicable) and the inverter's main power switch.
• Observe the LCD display for initial boot-up and status indicators.

5. Operation

The inverter offers various configurable settings to optimize power management based on your specific needs.

5.1 LCD Display and Settings

The LCD display provides real-time information and allows you to configure operational parameters using the function buttons.

• Use the UP and DOWN buttons to navigate through menu options.
• Press ENTER to select an option or confirm a setting.
• Press ESC to exit a menu or cancel an action.

5.2 Charging Priority Modes

These settings determine how the battery bank is charged from available power sources.

Figure 5.1: Charger Source Priority. This diagram illustrates three charging priority options: Solar First (solar panels charge first, AC input only if solar is unavailable), Solar and AC Input Simultaneously (both solar and utility charge at the same time), and Solar Only (solar energy is the exclusive charging source).

• Solar First: Prioritizes solar power for charging. AC input will only charge the battery when solar power is insufficient or unavailable.
• AC Priority (Utility Priority): Prioritizes AC input (utility or generator) for charging. Solar power will supplement or take over if AC input is unavailable.
• Solar Only: The inverter will only charge the battery bank from solar power. AC input will not be used for charging.

5.3 Output Priority Modes

These settings determine the power source for your connected loads.

Figure 5.2: Output Source Priority. This diagram shows three output priority options: Solar First (power from solar first, AC input supplements if solar is insufficient), AC First (redirects AC input to power loads, uses solar/batteries when AC is unavailable), and DC Priority (prioritizes solar first, then battery, then AC input only when voltage drops to a programmable value).

• Solar First (PV Priority): Prioritizes solar power to supply loads. If solar power is insufficient, the battery bank will supplement, and then AC input will be used.
• AC First (Mains Priority): Prioritizes AC input (utility or generator) to power loads. If AC input is unavailable, the inverter will switch to battery power.
• DC Priority (Battery Priority): Prioritizes solar power first, then battery power. AC input will only engage when the battery voltage drops below a programmable threshold.

5.4 Wi-Fi Monitoring

The built-in Wi-Fi module allows for remote monitoring of your inverter's performance and status via a dedicated application. Registration may be required to access this feature.
