Installation & Configuration

The inverter is the intelligent heart of your photovoltaic installation. Its correct configuration determines the efficiency of your system, your self-consumption rate, and the protection of your equipment. An incorrectly configured installation can reduce your production by 20-30%.

This sub-category details all the steps involved in installing and configuring solar inverters: from electrical wiring to software settings, including advanced operating modes (self-consumption, backup, off-peak hours, zero injection).

AC Coupling: the solution for adding batteries to an existing installation. Our comprehensive guide presents six proven AC Coupling configurations for coupling a hybrid inverter (Deye, Sofar, Fronius) to an existing string inverter, even in three-phase systems without a neutral. Learn how to configure communication between inverters, manage charge/discharge priorities, and ensure system stability.

Configuring operating modes: Modern hybrid inverters offer impressive flexibility. Program your time slots (off-peak hours for battery charging from the grid, peak hours for discharging), set min/max SOC thresholds, activate backup mode for emergency power during grid outages, and optimise surplus management.

You can also learn about the specifics of unbalanced three-phase power, the zero injection configuration required in certain regions, and inverter-battery communication techniques (CAN, RS485, WiFi/Ethernet).
