Hub-4 / grid parallel - manual

Note: make sure to always update all components to the latest software when making a new
installation.

Introduction

Hub-4 is a Grid-parallel Energy Storage system, using the Multi or Quattro bidirectional
inverter/charger as its main component. It optimizes self-consumption: at times when there is excess
PV power, the PV energy is stored in the battery. And that stored energy is then to power the loads at
times when there is a shortage of PV power.

The system is managed by the 

Color Control GX

 (CCGX), which also provides extensive monitoring,

both locally and remotely via our 

VRM Portal

 and the 

VRM App

. The VRM app is available for both iOS

and Android.
