Grid Use Time   

The inverter system is capable of connecting to, or disconnecting from, the utility grid based on time 
of day.  It can also be programmed to connect at different times on weekdays and on weekends.  

Load Grid Transfer  

  

 

The inverter system is capable of connecting to, or disconnecting from, the utility grid based on load 
size.  This avoids undesirable battery discharge from excessive loads.   It can also be programmed to 
connect to the grid when the batteries reach a low voltage due to excessive discharge.
