7.1 Mul�ple strings and parallel connec�on meters

This applica�on is that when the string inverters work in parallel, there is only one
power grid and one load, and only one meter can be connected to prevent reverse
current, so only this many-to-one an�-reverse current connec�on can be connected.
If there’s several inverters in a plant, also it can use 1pcs meter to realize zero export
func�on.For example,if there’s 3pcs inverter in the system with 1pcs meter.We need
to setup 1pcs inverter as the master and others setup as slaves. And, all of them need
to connect to the meter via RS485. Below is the system diagram and configura�on of
the system.

7.2 Use of zero-export func�on
When the connec�on is completed, the following steps should be refered to use this func�on:
1. Turn on the AC switch.
2. Turn on the DC switch, wai�ng for the inverter's LCD is turned on.
3. Press Enter bu�on on the LCD panel in the main interface into the menu op�ons, select
[parameter se�ng] to enter setup submenu, and then select [running parameters] as shown
in picture 7.14, at this �me please input the default password 1234 through pressing the
bu�on [up down, enter], enter the opera�on parameter se�ng interface, shown as
picture 7.15.

System Param << Island OFF


Run Param Meter 0FF <<
Pic 7.14 Parameter se�ng Pic 7.15 Meter switch
4. Operate the bu�on [up down], move se�ng cursor to energy meter and press the bu�on
[enter]. At this �me you can turn on or turn off the energy meter by choosing [up down]
bu�on, please press [enter] bu�on to confirm when se�ng done.
5. Move the cursor to [OK], press [enter] to save the se�ngs and exit the running
parameters page, otherwise the se�ngs are invalid.
6. If set up successfully, you can return to the menu interface, and display the LCD to [home
page] by press the [up down] bu�on. If it displays [meter power XXW], the zero-export
func�on se�ng is completed. Shown as picture 7.16.

Meter Power:
20W
Pic 7.16 Zero-export func�on via energy meter turn on
7. Meter power XXW shows posi�ve means grid is supplying the load, and no power fed into
grid. if meter power shows nega�ve, it means PV energy is being sold to grid or energy meter
wiring connce�on has problem.
8. A�er properly connec�on is done, wait for inverter star�ng. If the power of the PV array
meets the current power consump�on, the inverter will keep a certain output to counteract
the power of the grid without backflow .

- 28 -
7.3 Notes while using zero export func�on
For your safety and the opera�on of limiter func�on of the inverter, we put forward the
following sugges�ons and precau�ons:

Safety Hint:
Under zero export mode we strongly recommend that the two PV arrays are
formed by the same number of PV panels of the same size, which will make the
inverter more responsive to limit the power.

Safety Hint:
While the u�lity power is nega�ve and inverter has no output power, that means
the orienta�on of the current sensor is wrong, please turn off the inverter and
change orienta�on of the current sensor.

7.4 How to browse the load power of your PV grid-�e plant on monitoring pla�orm?
If you want to browse load power of the system and how much energy (KWH) does it export to
grid(inverter output power is used to power the load firstly and then the surplus energy will
feed into grid). You also need to connect the meter according to above diagram. A�er the
connec�on completed successfully, the inverter will show the load power on the LCD. But please
don’t setup “Meter ON”. Also, you will be able to browse the load power on the monitoring
pla�orm. The plant se�ng method as below descrip�on.
Firstly, go to the solarman pla�orm(h�ps://pro.solarmanpv.com, this link is for solarman
distributor account; or h�ps://home.solarmanpv.com, this link is for solarman end user
account;) plant home page and click “edit”

9. Repair and Maintenance
String type inverter doesn’t need regular maintenance. However,debris or dust will affect heat
sink’s thermal performance. It is be�er to clean it with a so� brush. If the surface is too dirty
and affect the reading of LCD and LED lamp, you can use wet cloth to clean it up.

High Temperature Hazard:


When the device is running, the local temperature is too high and the touch can
cause burns. Turn off the inverter and wait for it cooling, then you can clean and
maintain.

Safety Hint:
No solvent, abrasive materials or corrosive materials can be used for cleaning
any parts of the inverter.
