System congurations
Scenario 4 :
Sunlight Backup
This is the preferred conguration when homeowners want the
home to remain powered even if the utility grid shuts down during
sunlight hours.
The microinverter ranges supported in this conguration are
IQ6/ IQ7 or IQ8. The battery supported in this conguration is the
IQBattery5P. The IQSystemController3/3G is required to be
installed on site for providing the grid-forming capability.
The IQCombiner5/5C is to be connected to the PV breaker on the
IQSystemController 3/3G. In this scenario, the IQBattery5P’s
are to be connected directly to the IQSystemController and
not to the IQCombiner5/5C. Follow the instructions in the
IQSystemController3/3GQIG for more instructions on installation
of this conguration.
