before the system re-start work
Setting between 0-23 hour and 0-59 minute. For example,
1ST Start charging
2 00：00 set as 07:30, it means that the 1st charge period will start
Time
at 7:30
7
 Set between 0-11 hour and 0-59 minute. For example, the
setting is 01:20, it means the 1st charging period is 1 hour
3 1st Charge period 00：00 and 20 minutes (if the timing mode is started, but don’t
want it charge,change the charge period to 00:00 directly,
then 1st charge period will not work)
Set between 20%-100%;for example,set as 50% it means
the SOC of the 1st charge period will stop working once
charging to 50%. The SOC will be compared with the
charging time, whichever arrives first and which stops first.
For example:
SOC is set as 50%, while the charging time is set as 10
minutes and the battery is only charged to 40% in 10
Max. SOC of 1st minutes,the system will also stop charging after 10
4 50%
Charge period minutes before SOC reaching to 50%.
Another example:
SOC is set as 50% and the charging time is set as 10 hours.
If the battery is charged to 50% less than 5 hours,the
system will also stop charging before reach the set time.
(This charging here refers to the mains charging instead of
solar charging.For solar charger,it will be automatically
charged as long as there is solar power).
Set between 1-40A. For example：20.0 means the charge
current of 1st charging period is 20A. (This charging here
Charger current of
5 20.0 refers to the mains charging instead of solar charging.For
1st Charge period
solar charger,it will be automatically charged as long as
there is solar power).
Setting between 0-23 hour and 0-59 minute. For example,
2nd Start charging
6 00：00 set as 11:00, it means that the 2nd charge period will start
Time
at 11:00.
Set between 0-11 hour and 0-59 minute. For example, the
setting is 00:20, it means the 2nd charging period is 0 hour
7 2nd Charge period 00：00 and 20 minutes (if the timing mode is started, but don’t
want it charge,change the charge period to 00:00 directly,
then 2nd charge period will not work)
Set between 20%-100%;for example,set as 70% it means
the SOC of the 2nd charge period will stop working once
charging to 70%. The SOC will be compared with the
charging time, whichever arrives first and which stops first.
For example:
SOC is set as 70%, while the charging time is set as 10
Max. SOC of 2nd

minutes,the system will also stop charging after 10
minutes before SOC reaching to 70%.
Another example:
SOC is set as 70% and the charging time is set as 10 hours.
If the battery is charged to 70% less than 10 hours,the
system will also stop charging before reach the set time.

charged as long as there is solar power).
Set between 1-40A. For example：10.0 means the charge
current of 2nd charging period is 10A. (This charging here
Charger current of
9 10.0 refers to the mains charging instead of solar charging.For

solar charger,it will be automatically charged as long as
there is solar power).
Setting between 0-23 hour and 0-59 minute. For example,
1 Start discharging
st
set as 08:00, it means the system will discharge battery
10 00：00
Time power to the grid (feed to grid) from 08:00 in 1st
discharging period.
Set between 0-11 hour and 0-59 minute. For example, the
setting is 03:20, it means the 1st discharging period is 3
11 1st discharge period 00：00 hour and 20 minutes (if the timing mode is started, but
don’t want it discharge,change the discharge period to
00:00 directly, then 1st discharge period will not work)
Set between 20%-100%;for example,set as 50% it means
the system will stop discharge battery power to the grid
(feed to grid) once the battery SOC reaches to 50% in the
1st discharge period. The SOC will be compared with the
discharge time, whichever arrives first and it stops first. For
example:
SOC is set as 50%, while the discharging(feeding to grid)
time is set as 10 minutes. When battery SOC discharges to
Mini. SOC of 1st 60%, but the discharge time already reach to 10 minutes,it
12 50%
discharge period will stop discharging(feeding to grid) also.
Another example:
SOC is set as 50% and the discharging time is set as 10
hours. If the battery is discharged to 50% less than 10
hours,the system will also stop discharging to grid before
reach the set time.
(This discharging/feeding to grid has nothing to do with
solar power.For solar charger,it will be automatically
charged as long as there is solar power).
Set between 1-20A. For example：20.0 means the charge
current of 1st discharging period to grid is 20A. (This
Discharge current of
13 20.0 discharging here refers to battery power feeds to grid.For
1st discharge period
example,if it set as 20A, the battery power feeds to grid is:
26V*20A=520).
Setting between 0-23 hour and 0-59 minute. For example,
2 Start discharging

Time power to the grid (feed to grid) from 12:00 in 2nd

 discharge,change the discharge period to 00:00 directly,
then 2nd discharge period will not work).
Set between 20%-100%;for example,set as 30% it means
the system will stop discharge battery power to the grid
(feed to grid) once the battery SOC reaches to 30% in the
2nd discharge period. The SOC will be compared with the
discharge time, whichever arrives first and it stops first. For
example:
SOC is set as 30%, while the discharging(feeding to grid)
time is set as 10 minutes. When battery SOC discharges to

Another example:
SOC is set as 30% and the discharging time is set as 10

hours,the system will also stop discharging to grid before
reach the set time.
(This discharging/feeding to grid has nothing to do with
