Safety Warnings
Any installation and operation on inverter must be performed by qualified electricians,
in compliance with standards, wiring rules or requirements of local grid authorities or
companies (like AS 4777 and AS/NZS 3000 in Australia).

Prohibit to insert or pull the AC and DC terminals when the inverter is running.

Before any wiring connection or electrical operation on inverter, all battery and AC power
must be disconnected from inverter for at least 5 minutes to make sure inverter is totally
isolated to avoid electric shock.

The temperature of inverter surface might exceed 60℃ during working, so please make sure
it is cooled down before touching it, and make sure the inverter is untouchable for children

Do not open inverter cover or change any components without GoodWe's authorization,
otherwise the warranty commitment for the inverter will be invalid.

Usage and operation of the inverter must follow instructions in this user manual, otherwise
the protection design might be useless and warranty for the inverter will be invalid.

Appropriate methods must be adopted to protect inverter from static damage. Any damage
caused by static is not warranted by GoodWe.

The inverter, with built-in RCMU, will exclude possibility of DC residual current to 6mA, thus in
the system an external RCD (type A) can be used(≥30mA).

In Australia, the inverter internal switching does not maintain neutral integrity, which must
be addressed by external connection arrangements like in the system connection diagram for
Australia.

In Australia, output of Back-Up side in switchbox should be labeled "Main switch UPS supply",
the output of normal load side in switch box should be labeled "main switch inverter supply".

Declarations for the backup function

The back-up output of inverters have over load ability.
For details please refer to the technical parameters of the inverter section.
And the inverter has self-protection derating at high ambient temperature.
The below statement lays out general policies governing the energy storage inverters.
1. For Hybrid inverters, the standard PV installation typically consists of the connection of the
inverter with both panels and batteries. In case of systems not connected to the batteries,
the Back-Up function is strongly not advised to use. GoodWe shall not cover the standard
warranty and be liable for any consequences arising from users not following this instruction.
2. Under normal circumstances, the Back-Up switching time is less than 10 ms (the minimal
condition to be considered as the UPS level). However, some external factors may cause the
system to fail on Back-Up mode. As such, we recommend the users to be aware of conditions
and follow the instructions as below:
• Do not connect loads if they are dependent on a stable energy supply for a reliable
operation
• Do not connect the loads which may in total exceed the maximum Back-Up capacity
• Try to avoid those loads which may create very high start-up current surges such as
Inverter Air-conditioner, high-power pump etc.
• Due to the condition of battery itself, battery current might be limited by some factors
including but not limited to the temperature, weather etc.

Acceptable loads are shown below:

The inverters are able to supply over load output at it's Back-Up. For details please refer
to the technical parameters. And the inverter has self-protection derating at high ambient
temperature.
• Inductive Load: 1.5P non-frequency conversion air-conditioner can be connect to back-up
side. Two or more non-frequency conversion air-conditioner connect to Back-Up side may
cause UPS mode unstable.
• Capacitive Load: Total power <= 0.6 x nominal power of model. (Any load with high inrush
current at start-up is not accepted.)
• For complicated application, please contact after-sales.
Note:
For a convenient maintenance, an DP3T support could be installed on Back-Up and On-Grid side.
Then it is adjustable to support load by Back-Up or by grid or just leave it there.

Questions & Answers (Q & A)

About the Wi-Fi Configuration
Q: Why can't I find the Solar-Wi-Fi* signal on mobile devices?
A: Normally the Solar-Wi-Fi* signal can be seen immediately after inverter has powered up.
However, the Solar-Wi-Fi signal will disappear when the inverter connects to the internet. If
changes to the settings are required to connect to the router for changes. If you cannot find the
Wi-Fi signal or connect to the router, please try to reload the Wi-Fi.

Q: Why can't I connect to the Solar-Wi-Fi* signal on my phone?

A: The Wi-Fi module can only connect to one device at a time. If the signal is already connected
to another device at the same time, you will not be able to connect to the signal.

About Battery Operation

Q: Why does the battery not discharge when the grid is not available but it discharges normally
when the grid is available?
A: On the APP, the off-grid output and backup function should be turned on to force the battery
to discharge under off-grid mode.

Q: Why is there no output on the backup side?

A: For backup supply, "Backup Supply" on the SolarGo App must be turned on. In off-grid mode
or when the grid power is disconnected, the "Off-Grid Output Switch" function must be turned
on as well.
Note: When turning the "Off-Grid Output Switch" on, do not restart the inverter or battery. Otherwise, the
function will be switched off automatically.

Q: Why does the battery SOC suddenly jump to 95% on the Portal?
A: This normally happens when BMS communications fail when using lithium batteries. If the
batteries enter float charge mode, the SOC is automatically reset to 95%.

Q: The battery cannot be fully charged to 100%?

A: The battery will stop charging when the battery voltage reaches the charge voltage set in the
SolarGo App.

32
04 OTHER User Manual V1.6-2024-01-25

Q: Why does the battery switch always trip when it starts up (lithium battery)?
A: The switch of the lithium battery trips because of following reasons:
1. BMS communication fails.
2. The battery SOC is too low and the battery trips to protect itself.
3. An electrical short-circuit has occurred on the battery connection side. Alternatively, for other
reasons, Please contact the after-sales department.

About SolarGo Operation And Monitoring

Q: Why can't I save settings on the SolarGo App?
A: This could be caused by losing the connection to Solar-Wi-Fi *.
1. Make sure you have already connected to Solar-Wi-Fi* (make sure that no other devices are
connected) or to the router (if Solar-Wi-Fi* is connected to the router). The APP homepage shows
the connections.
2. Make sure you restart the inverter 10 mins after you have changed any settings because the
inverter will save the settings every 10 mins while operating in normal mode. We recommend
that parameter settings be changed when the inverter is in wait mode.

Q: Why are the data displayed on the homepage different from the param page, like charge/
discharge, PV value, load value, or grid value?
A: The data refresh frequency is different, so there will be data discrepancies between different
pages on the APP as well as between these shown on the portal and APP.

Q: Some columns show NA, like battery SOH, etc. Why does that happen?
A: NA means that the App has not received data from the inverter or server because of
communication problems, such as battery communications and the communications between
inverter and the App.

About the Smart Meter And Power Limit Function

Q: How to activate the output power limit function?
A: For the inverter system, this function can be activated by following these steps:
1. Make sure the Smart Meter connections and communications are functioning correctly.
2. Turn on the export power limit function and set the maximum output power to the grid on the
APP.
Note: Even if the output power limit is set to 0W, there might still be a deviation of a maximum
of 100 W when exporting to the grid.

Q: Can I use other meter brands to take over from the Smart Meter in the system or to change
settings in Smart Meter?
A: No, because the communication protocol is integrated into the inverter and Smart Meter,
other meter brands cannot communicate. Also, any change to the manual settings could cause a
meter communication failure.

Q: What is the maximum current allowed to pass through the CT on the Smart Meter?
A: The maximum current for the CT is 120A.

Other Questions

Q: What kind of load can I use to connect to the backup side?

A: Please refer to 2.4.3 On-Grid&Back-Up Connection section.

Q: Will the warranty of the inverter still be valid if, for some special conditions, we cannot follow
