Stopping the Solar Eclipse
To stop the Solar Eclipse and photovoltaic system proceed as follows:
•
Lock Solar Eclipse pressing the lock button /unlock (2) (see Figure 1) located to the left of
the LED charge indicators
•
open the disconnecting switch 4 AC side
•
open the switch 3 (PV string - Solar Eclipse)
•
open the disconnecting switch 2 (Inverter - Solar Eclipse if present);
•
open the isolator 1 (battery - Solar Eclipse)

Operation Modes
Solar Eclipse feeds itself from the battery pack, which in turn are loaded exclusively by
photovoltaic modules. Solar Eclipse works without the need for any external command with no
exchange of information with the drive and /or utilities.
The only external parameter Solar Eclipse use to determine its operation (in addition to the PV
modules) is that of the network power meter.
The goal of Solar Eclipse in fact is to keep close to zero as possible the value of the power
exchanged with the network: if we are taking energy from network, Solar Eclipse feeds the grid
inverter to increase the power produced from it. If we are emitting energy in the network, Solar
Eclipse draws power from the modules and stores it in the batteries.
5.3
Battery Charger Mode
If the power of the photovoltaic modules is higher than that required by the users the battery
charger mode activates automatically, drawing energy from the modules, and then decreases the
output power of the inverter grid.
NOTE
: If with good solar irradiation the power of the inverter seems not to be adequate to the
photovoltaic field, this may mean that the Solar Eclipse is charging and therefore there is NO
ANOMALY OF OPERATION!
