7.1 Multiple strings and parallel connection meters

This application is that when the string inverters work in parallel, there is only one power grid and one load, and only one meter can be connected to prevent reverse current, so only this many-to-one anti-reverse current connection can be connected.

If there’s several inverters in a plant, also it can use 1pcs meter to realize zero export function. For example, if there’s 3pcs inverter in the system with 1pcs meter. We need to setup 1pcs inverter as the master and others setup as slaves. And, all of them need to connect to the meter via RS485. Below is the system diagram and configuration of the system.

7.2 Use of zero-export function

When the connection is completed, the following steps should be referred to use this function:

1. Turn on the AC switch.
2. Turn on the DC switch, waiting for the inverter's LCD is turned on.
3. Press Enter button on the LCD panel in the main interface into the menu options, select [parameter setting] to enter setup submenu, and then select [running parameters] as shown in picture 7.34, at this time please input the default password 1234 through pressing the button [up down, enter], enter the operation parameter setting interface, shown as picture 7.35.

Is and it

OFF 6 incheter

Pic 7.35 Meter switch Pic 7.34 Parameter set

1. Operate the button [up down], move setting cursor to energy meter and press the button [enter]. At this time you can turn on or turn off the energy meter by choosing [up down] button, please press [enter] button to confirm when setting done.
2. Move the cursor to [OK], press [enter] to save the settings and exit the running parameters page, otherwise the settings are invalid.
3. If set up successfully, you can return to the menu interface, and display the LCD to [home page] by press the [up down] button. If it displays [meter power XXW], the zero-export function setting is completed. Shown as picture 7.36.

Motor Power 200

Pic 7.36 Zero-export function via energy meter turn on

1. Meter power XXW shows positive means grid is supplying the load, and no power fed into grid. if meter power shows negative, it means PV energy is being sold to grid or energy meter wiring connection has problem.
2. After properly connection is done, wait for inverter starting. If the power of the PV array meets the current power consumption, the inverter will keep a certain output to counteract the power of the grid without backflow.

7.3 Notes while using zero export function

For your safety and the operation of limiter function of the inverter, we put forward the following suggestions and precautions:

Safety Hint:

Under zero export mode we strongly recommend that the two PV arrays are formed by the same number of PV panels of the same size, which will make the inverter more responsive to limit the power.

Safety Hint:

While the utility power is negative and inverter has no output power, that means the orientation of the current sensor is wrong, please turn off the inverter and change orientation of the current sensor.

7.4 How to browse the load power of your PV grid-tie plant on monitoring platform?

If you want to browse load power of the system and how much energy (KWH) does it export to grid(inverter output power is used to power the load firstly and then the surplus energy will feed into grid). You also need to connect the meter according to above diagram. After the connection completed successfully, the inverter will show the load power on the LCD. But please don’t setup “Meter ON”. Also, you will be able to browse the load power on the monitoring platform. The plant setting method as below description.

Firstly, go to the solarman platform(https://pro.solarmanpv.com, this link is for solarman distributor account; or https://home.solarmanpv.com, this link is for solarman end user account;) plant home page and click “edit”.

And then choose your system type as "Self-consumption"

Secondly, go to plant page, if it shows the PV power, load power and grid power, which means the configuration is correct.

8. General Operation

During normal operation, the LCD shows the current status of the inverter, including the current power, total generation, a bar chart of power operation and inverter ID, etc. Press the Up key and the Down key to see the current DC voltage, DC current, AC voltage, AC current, inverter radiator temperature, software version number and Wifi connection state of the inverter.

9. Repair and Maintenance

String type inverter doesn't need regular maintenance. However, debris or dust will affect heat sink's thermal performance. It is better to clean it with a soft brush. If the surface is too dirty and affect the reading of LCD and LED lamp, you can use wet cloth to clean it up.

High Temperature Hazard:

When the device is running, the local temperature is too high and the touch can cause burns. Turn off the inverter and wait for it cooling, then you can clean and maintain.

Safety Hint:

No solvent, abrasive materials or corrosive materials can be used for cleaning any parts of the inverter.
