If electricity is more expensive in high demand time (peak rate) & electricity is much cheaper in low demand time (off-
peak rate).
You can select an off-peak period to charge your battery. Outside the off-peak charge period, HYD-ES inverter is
working in Auto Mode.
If your family normally go to work/school on weekdays & stay at home on weekends, which means the home electricity
consumption is much higher on weekends. Thus, you need to store some cheap electricity on weekends only. This is
possible using our Time-of-use mode.
In summer, if your PV system can produce more electricity than your home electricity consumption. Then you don’t
need to set an off-peak charge period to charge your battery in summer at all. You can select an effective date
(normally winter) for Time-of-use mode in this case. Outside the effective date, HYD-ES inverter is working in Auto
Mode.
You can set multiple Time-of-use rules to meet your more complex requirement. Right now we support 4 rules
maximum (rule 0/1/2/3).
3) Set Timing Mode
Select “3. Set Timing Mode”, and then press “OK” to enter Set Timing mode interface. The interface of Set Timing
Mode is shown as below. You can select a charge time/power & discharge time/power in this mode.
Note: normally this mode is used to test whether HYD-ES inverter
can charge & discharge correctly or not. So basically, this mode is
used for testing purposes only.
4) Set Passive Mode
Select “4. Set Passive Mode”, and then press “OK”.
For more detailed information, please ask representative of SOFAR to get a copy of passive mode communication
protocol.
