The System consists of Home 8 and SE Box. They must be installed together and it will
not work when installing unauthorized components to the system.
y
The unit is designed to feed power to the public grid only. Do not connect the unit to a
generator as connecting the power to external devices could result in serious damage to
the equipment.

y
Do not store or place any objects on top of or against the unit. It may cause serious
malfunction or other problems.

Never use any solvents, abrasives, or corrosive materials to clean this unit.
y
Under backup operation, whether the battery SoC is higher than 90% or the ESS needs
to reduce the charging power, the ESS may reduce the solar power generation.
y
If the battery SoC is too low during backup operation during a power outage, the system
operates as follows.
-
Even though the PV system is equipped, the system will not supply power to the home
load. However, the system can charge the battery from the PV system first and then
supply power to the home again if the battery SoC is sufficiently charged.
-
If the PV system is not equipped, the system cannot supply power to the home load and
the system will go into sleep mode.
