4. Setup and Installation
The inverter is designed for wall-mounted installation. Professional installation is highly recommended to ensure safety and optimal performance.
Installation Steps:
- Mounting: Securely mount the inverter on a vertical surface in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Wiring: Connect the solar panels, batteries, utility grid (if applicable), and AC loads according to the wiring diagram. Ensure all connections are tight and correct polarity is observed.
- Grounding: Connect the inverter to a reliable earth ground.
- Power On: Once all connections are verified, switch on the power sources in the recommended sequence (typically battery first, then solar, then utility).

5. Operating Modes
The inverter supports various operating modes to suit different energy management needs.
Output Priority Settings (A0):
These settings control the power supply sequence for the connected loads.
- GRD: Grid Power Priority: Utility grid powers the load first. The solar system only charges the battery. During a power outage, the system switches to solar plus battery power.
- PV Priority: Solar power is prioritized to supply the load. When solar power is insufficient, the utility grid automatically supplements the supply, enabling a hybrid solar-grid output.
- PBG: Battery Priority (Default): PV + battery are prioritized for power delivery. When the battery voltage drops below a certain level, the system switches to mains bypass without a separate PV-grid hybrid output. The PV module automatically enables simultaneous power output from both PV and the grid.

Charging Priority Settings (A10):
These settings control how the battery is charged.
- SNU: Hybrid Charging: Charging is done simultaneously using solar power and grid power, with solar power taking priority.
- CSO: Solar Priority Charging: If solar power is available, charge using solar power only. If not, switch to grid power to supplement the charge.
- OSO: Solar-Powered Only: Mains power is not used at any stage of the charging process, making it suitable for fully off-grid use. This unit does not have a mains-priority charging mode.
Image: Diagram illustrating the three charging priority modes: SNU (Hybrid Charging), CSO (Solar Priority Charging), and OSO (Solar-Powered Only), showing how the battery is charged from solar and/or grid.
Full-System Operation Mode (A15):
This setting determines the grid-connection capability, independent of A0.
- GRD: Hybrid Mode: Supports solar/photovoltaic/battery hybrid systems and grid-connected power supply, and inverter operation during power outages. This is the ideal choice for home use.
- GRE: Grid-Connected Feeder Mode: Excess power is fed into the grid. The machine shuts down when the mains power is cut off. It cannot operate off-grid while carrying a load.
- DIS: Offline Mode: Grid connection is prohibited. Power is supplied solely by local PV/batteries.
