no-load voltage occurs at the lowest-anticipated temperatures. Please refer to the PV
module documentation for detailed temperature dependency information.
The SolarCity H6 inverter contains an internal automatic transfer relay that enables off-grid
operation. Protected home loads (also called protected loads) are loads extended from an
existing electrical panel and placed into a new electrical panel called the “backup panel.”
Protected home loads operate with standby PV and/or battery pack power when grid power
is not available.
Power from the solar array charges the battery pack during the day. The operating voltage of
the battery pack must correspond to the battery pack input voltage range on the battery
pack interface of the SolarCity H6 inverter. The battery pack management system (BMS)
records critical information (DC current, voltage, power, SOC, temperature, faults, etc.)
when charging and discharging the battery pack and reports to the inverter on a continuous
basis.
Figure 1-1
on the next page depicts a typical home installation.
Note: Balance of Systems (BOS) refers to hardware that is used in the
installation of this system, including but not limited to wires, conduits,
boxes, etc.
Note: The combination of PV arrays, SolarCity H6 inverter, battery pack,
backup electrical panel, any accessories, BOS, and main electrical panel is
referred to as an Energy Storage System (ESS).
WARNING: INSTALLATION OF ANY OTHER BATTERY PACK THAN THE TYPE
SPECIFICALLY SUPPORTED BY THE H6 INVERTER WILL VOID THE
INVERTER WARRANTY.
