1.4 Select country

Select the country in which the system will be installed.

Country-specific grid validation settings will be programmed 

automatically, such as:

Anti-Islanding - Frequency - Voltage - AC values

1.5 Select display text & language

Configure the status parameters to be shown on the four lines 

of the system display and the language of the display. Values 

shown are the actual system display settings. Select the status 

parameter to be shown on each line of the display via the drop-

down menu.

1.6 Select battery

Select and configure the connected battery. Select “not 

configured” if you are installing a system without batteries 

connected at the moment. When you install a battery, enter 

capacity/max DOD (depth of discharge) and DOD self-use.

Capacity (C10)

Enter the capacity in Ah/C10. When no C10 rating (capacity value 

of the battery discharged in 10 hours) is available, use the rating 

which is closest to C10. The capacity can be found on the battery 

itself or on the battery specification sheet.

Maximum depth of discharge (DOD) - backup

Enter the maximum depth of discharge allowed during a grid 

failure. This defines the percentage of the battery capacity that 

is used for backup purposes. For backup it is common to use as 

much of the available battery capacity as possible, to increase the 

available backup time. Deeply discharging a battery on a frequent 

basis reduces its service life considerably. So if the installation 

location is subject to frequent grid failures it is suggested that you 

configure a lower maximum depth of discharge to increase the 

battery service life (default is 100%).

Max depth of discharge (DOD) - self-use

Select the percentage of daily discharge of the battery to increase 

self-consumption of your generated energy. The battery will be 

discharged to this percentage on a daily basis. For lead-acid 

batteries a maximum depth of discharge of 50% is advised. A 

lower percentage will increase the service life of the batteries.
