Self-consumption control function 1
Control of self-consumption by time
When a certain rating P1 has been generated for a
certain period of time T1, the inverter switches to
self-consumption.
The inverter remains in self-consumption mode for the
entire run time T2. Following the run time T2, the inverter
ends self-consumption.
This is the end of the interval. This interval can be
repeated several times with the "Activation" option.

INFO
If there is a battery connected to the
inverter, when charging the battery,
this energy is drawn from the gener-
ated PV energy. When this happens,
instances may arise where the thresh-
old value P1 is not reached despite
sucient PV energy.
When selecting "Dynamic self-con-
sumption control", the measured
home consumption Pc (e.g. 700W in
this case) is taken into consideration
and automatically added to the set
power limit P1. In our example, this
means that the contact only closes at
1700W.
INFO
If the “Permit battery usage for the
switched output” option is also acti-
vated, the missing amount of energy
is drawn from the battery should the
PV energy drop.
