8.5.8 - On-Grid to Off-Grid Status
The SolarCity H6 inverter transitions from on-grid to off-grid (backup) status if utility grid
voltage is lost. This transition can take from one (1) to two (2) second(s) and may cause some
inconveniences, such as the need to reset appliance clocks or restart some appliances.
Consider adding an additional Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) for loads such as
computers that can lose data or other important functionality when power is lost.
8.5.9 - Off-Grid to On-Grid Status
During off-grid operation, if the grid voltage comes back, then the SolarCity H6 inverter will
continue to operate using available PV and/or battery pack power while it performs a smooth
transition to on-grid operation; however, if PV and/or battery pack power is not sufficient, it
may take a period of more than five (5) minutes (300 seconds).
WARNING: THE SOLARCITY H6 INVERTER IS NOT INTENDED OR DESIGNED
TO SUPPLY ENERGY TO LIFE-SUSTAINING MEDICAL DEVICES. DO NOT USE
THE SOLARCITY H6 INVERTER FOR ANY SITUATION WHERE A POWER
OUTAGE MIGHT LEAD TO DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY.
