This manual contains all safety, installation and operating instructions for the HF24-H Series all-in-one
solar charge inverter.
Please read all instructions and precautions in the manual carefully before installation and use.
Non-safety voltage exists inside the all-in-one solar charge inverter. To avoid personal injury, users
shall not disassemble the all-in-one solar charge inverter themselves. Contact our professional
maintenance personnel if their is a need for repair.
Do not place the all-in-one solar charge inverter within the reach of children.
Do not install the all-in-one solar charge inverter in harsh environments such as moist, oily,
flammable or explosive, or heavily dusty areas.
The mains input and AC output are high voltage, so please do not touch the wiring terminals.
The housing of the all-in-one solar charge inverter is hot when it is working. Do not touch it.
Do not open the terminal protective cover when the all-in-one solar charge inverter is working.
It is recommended to attach proper fuse or circuit breaker to the outside of the all-in-one solar
charge inverter.
Always disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker near the terminals of PV array, mains and battery before
installing and adjusting the wiring of the all-in-one solar charge inverter.
After installation, check that all wire connections are tight to avoid heat accumulation due to poor
connection, which is dangerous.
The all-in-one solar charge inverter is off-grid. It is necessary to confirm that it is the only input device
for load, and it is forbidden to use it in parallel with other input AC power to avoid damage.
Wiring and installation must comply with national and local electrical codes.
Recommended PV array wiring specifications and circuit breaker selection: Since the output current of
the PV array is affected by the type, connection method and illumination angle of the PV module, the
minimum wire diameter of the PV array is calculated according to its short-circuit current; refer to the
short-circuit current value in the PV module specification (the short-circuit current is constant when the
PV modules are connected in series; the short-circuit current is the sum of the short-circuit currents of
all PV modules connected in parallel); the short-circuit current of the PV array shall not exceed the
maximum input current.
Refer to the table below for PV input wire diameter and switch:
Note: The voltage in series shall not exceed the maximum PV input open circuit voltage.
Refer to the table below for recommended AC input wire diameter and switch:

Note: The wiring diameter is for reference only. If the distance between the PV array and the all-in-one
solar charge inverter or the distance between the all-in-one solar charge inverter and the battery is
relatively long, using a thicker wire can reduce the voltage drop to improve system performance.
Note: The above are only recommended wiring diameter and circuit breaker. Please select the
Warning: Danger of explosion! Never install the all-in-one solar charge inverter and lead-acid
battery in the same confined space! Also do not install in a confined place where battery gas may
collect.
Step3: Wiring
① Prior to AC input/output wiring, disconnect the external circuit breaker and confirm that the
wire used is thick enough. Please refer to Section 2.2 “Wiring Specifications and Circuit Breaker
Selection”;
② Properly connect the AC input wire according to the wire sequence and terminal position
shown in the figure below. Please connect the ground wire first, and then the live wire and the
neutral wire;
③ Properly connect the AC output wire according to the wire sequence and terminal
position shown in the figure below. Please connect the ground wire first, and then the live
wire and the neutral wire. The ground wire is connected to the grounding screw hole on the
cabinet through the O-type terminal.
Note: The grounding wire shall be as thick as possible (cross-sectional area is not less than 4mm2).
The grounding point shall be as close as possible to the all-in-one solar charge inverter. The
shorter the grounding wire, the better.
Warnings:
① Mains input, AC output and PV array will generate high voltage. So, before wiring, be sure to
② Be very careful during wiring; do not close the circuit breaker or fuse during wiring, and ensure that
the “+” and “-” pole leads of each component are connected properly; a circuit breaker must be
installed at the battery terminal. Refer to Section 2.2 “Wiring Specifications and Circuit Breaker Selection”
to select a right circuit breaker. Before wiring, be sure to disconnect the circuit breaker to prevent strong
electric sparks and avoid battery short circuit; if the all-in-one solar charge inverter is used in an area
with frequent lightning, it is recommended to install an external lightening arrester at the PV input
terminal.
Step 4: Check if the wiring is correct and firm. In particular, check if the battery polarity is reversed, if the
Note: If power is supplied to different AC loads, it is recommended to first turn on the load with a large
surge current. After the load is stable, turn on the load with a small surge current.
Note: If the all-in-one solar charge inverter does not work properly or the LCD or indicator is abnormal,
refer to Chapter 6 to handle the exceptions.
2) Mains priority: The Mains supply is preferentially used to charge the battery. Only when the Mains
fails, the PV charging can be activated.
3) Hybrid charging: PV and mains hybrid charging. PV MPPT charging is a priority, and when PV
energy is insufficient, the mains supply supplements. When the PV energy is sufficient again, the
mains stops charging. This is the fastest charging mode, suitable for the areas where power grid is
unstable, providing sufficient backup power supply at any time.
4) Only Solar (Only Solar): Only PV charging, without Mains charging. This is the most energy-
efficient way in which battery is charged only by solar panels, and is usually used in areas with
good lighting conditions.
Switch to mains supply only when the battery discharge undervoltage is lower than the set point
(item 04). When the charging battery is higher than the set point of (05 setting item), switch to
the battery discharge mode. This can cycle the battery charge and discharge. This mode maximizes
the use of DC power and is used in the area with stable grid. Switching does not affect PV charging.
