A B C D Figure 2 Main System Components 1) SolDate3100/3700T inverter The inverter converts the DC power from BM024 into AC power. The electricity from battery is used by the household loads or fed into the grid. 2) BM024 battery manager In connection with the SolDate3100/3700T via DC bus line, BM024 battery manager charges / discharges the battery packs according to commands from integrated energy management unit. 3) Battery packs 5

11 S E T S E T GEatom103KHF system user manual Battery packs stores the energy generated from PV generator. Generally each battery module s capacity is 2.4kWh; so two battery modules can constitute 4.8kWh battery pack. 4) Energy meter Two 1-phase bi-directional energy meters are needed. One is for grid data collection, another is for PV inverter data collection. With the meter data, the GEatom 103KHF decides when to charge/discharge the battery packs. 2.2 System Connection The four main components are connected as displayed in Figure 1, which can not only optimize solar energy self-use and realize peak shaving, but also protect family from power outages.

Turn off the DC switch (optional); wait until the CD screen is black out 5.2 System Starting 1) Turn on the DC breaker on the battery cabinet Figure 66 Battery Cabinet DC BREAKER 2) Turn on the DC switch (optional) on the SolDate3100/3700T 3) The inverter is ready to work 4) Turn on AC switch, connect to the grid 43

49 5.3 System Operating Instructions On-grid Operation The battery inverter has 2 options of operation mode: 1. Self-use Mode If there is enough sunshine, PV energy supplies the load first and then charges battery packs; if the load power is covered and battery is full charged, surplus energy will be fed into the public grid to acquire the FIT. If there is no sufficient PV energy, the system discharges the battery pack first; if PV power and battery discharging power is smaller than the load power, then the grid co-supply energy to the load. 2. Time of Use Mode (Peak Shaving) The system charges the battery packs at off-peak time (pre-set charging time); discharges the battery packs at peak time (pre-set discharging time) Off-grid Operation The GEatom 103KHF battery inverter has integrated backup function. ote: maximum charging current, maximum discharging current, discharging stop voltage and charging stop voltage should be set before commissioning to maintain battery s lifetime. These parameters are set in CD screen. 5.4 System Maintenance When maintaining the system, power off the Geatom103KHF. Please obey the following operations: 1) Turn off the AC breaker, which means cut the inverter off the grid 2) Turn off the DC breaker of battery cabinet 3) Turn off DC switch (optional) of SolDate3100/3700T(Inverter only) 4) Waiting at least 15 min. before maintenance 5) After disconnecting all the cables, please move the inverter to a proper position for maintenance ote: if the system will not be used for a long time, please turn off the whole system for safety.

50 6 Troubleshooting 6.1 Safety during Troubleshooting High electric voltage! Risk of death or personal injury by electric shock! ever work with live wires! It is prior to all connection and maintenance work. Make sure that the AC and DC wires are not charged. The connection area should only be opened by a licensed electrician. Warning! Danger from residual voltage out of capacitors. You must wait until the capacitors have fully discharged. Discharge takes around15 minutes. Caution! Danger from inadequate grounding. An inadequate grounding conductor connection can cause serious injuries to persons and damage to properties. 6.2 Faults A fault can be divided into two catalogues: a permanent failure and a temporary failure. A permanent failure is defined by a fault having been present for more than 15 minutes and cannot be acknowledged by inverter s auto-restart. Unlike permanent failure, a transient failure" is automatically acknowledged by the inverter. 6.3 Fault Messages and Actions ist When failure occurs, warning codes will be displayed on the CD screen. The latest 20 fault codes will be stored in the EEPROM. Check the history fault information via long-pressing the key ESC.
