S5 und S6 Hybrid Inverters - Zero Export Set

Explanation

One of the most important functions of the hybrid inverter is the ability to set your inverter to not export power to the grid. This is called "Zero Export".The reason this is important is because you have a battery attached to your system. That battery has extra power stored within it and you as a homeowner want to use it at the perfect time. If we don't have "zero export set" then the battery will discharge all of its precious power to the grid at any give time. Now that we have a external meter attached with our storage system, we know exactly when we need to charge or discharge the battery. Also if you don't set zero export power set then your battery might not ever get a chance to fill up its state of charge (SOC) while you have excess PV power. Therefore if you are not making any money on your interconnection agreement we recommend that you set your storage system to zero export.

Procedure on the screen on the inverter of the S5 Hybrid inverter (RHI)

1. Go to your inverter screen and go to Advanced Settings

2. Password is 0010 (down, down, up, enter)

3. Go to Export Power Set

4. Go to Backflow Power

5. Set Backflow power to 000000W

6. Go to On/OFF

6. Set to ON (Light Blue)

7. Go back to your main screen and verify you are no longer exporting power to the grid. (import is OK)

Procedure for S6 Hybrid Series

Grid Feed in Power Limit – EPM Function

To restrict the export of power from the inverter, customers can utilize the internal EPM (Export Power Limit) function. Through the app, users have the flexibility to easily adjust various settings, enabling them to control the amount of power exported to the grid. This feature provides a convenient way for users to manage and limit their power export based on their preferences and requirements.

Grid Feed in Power Limit view: You have the flexibility to limit the feed-in of either power or current.

Unbalanced Output: If this is set to "On," it will inject power to only one phase. If it's set to "Off," it will equalize on all three phases. (Feed in power only)
