Product Overview
2.7.4 Peak Shaving Mode
Peak shaving mode is set for leveling out peaks in electricity use. The system is intelligently
controlled to ensure charging takes place during off-peak hours and discharging occurs
during peak hours.

Time Period Inverter working status
Period A
• The grid can charge the battery to MaxSOC within the set
ChargePowerLimits. In this period, the battery will not discharge
power.
Period B & D
Grid consumption power < PeakLimits
(PV + grid
→
load)
• The PV and grid will power the load. The battery will not charge or
discharge power.
Grid consumption power
>
PeakLimits
(PV + battery + grid
→
load)
• The battery will discharge energy for loads and thus reduce the
amount of energy purchased from the grid.
Period C
(PV
→
battery
→
load
→
grid)
• The battery does not discharge power. The PV charges the battery up
to the Reserved SOC before supplying power to the loads. Any excess
power beyond the load requirements is first supplied to the loads, and
then fed into the grid.
Note:
MaxSOC: The energy taken from grid to charge the battery. 50% by default, the settable
range is 10%-100%.
