communication with the SolarCity server, then it will revert to automatic modes and cancel

this mode.

8.5.5 - Battery Pack to Protected Home Loads

This is a factory-default mode that the inverter can automatically select when appropriate.

During the day, if there is enough PV energy available, the inverter will power the protected

home loads first and use any leftover power to charge the battery pack. At night, or if PV

power alone is not sufficient to support the protected home loads, then the inverter may

draw power from the battery pack to supply the protected home loads.

8.5.6 - AC Grid to Protected Home Loads

This is a factory-default mode that the inverter can automatically select when appropriate. If

the inverter is receiving grid power, then the protected home loads can be powered from

the AC grid. If the inverter is undergoing maintenance, then the AC Bypass Switch can be

turned to the BYP position to bypass the inverter by diverting AC grid power directly to the

protected home loads, which then function like normal home loads until the AC Bypass

Switch is returned to the INV position.

8.5.7 - AC Grid to Battery Pack

This is a special mode that can only be activated remotely via the ZigBee communications

channel because it requires approval from the local jurisdiction and/or utility. The inverter

can supply AC grid power to the battery pack when grid power is available and when there is

insufficient PV energy to charge the battery pack (such as at night). If the inverter loses

communication with the SolarCity server, then it will revert to automatic modes and cancel

this mode.

Note: This mode is only available when approved by the local utility and

can be enabled or disabled via software remotely in the SolarCity H6

inverter.
