3. Functioning

Ra.Store-3 is a system for the storage of the energy produced from photovoltaic panels and the supply of the stored energy.
It is possible to distinguish two different functioning modes of the system: the on-Grid mode and the EPS mode. The on-Grid
mode is used by the system when the public electrical grid is functioning correctly, whereas in case of blackout the system
activates automatically the EPS mode in order to solve the problem occurred, and then at last come back to the on-Grid mode
when the problem is solved.
In order to use the functioning mode called EPS it is necessary to install an external commutation electrical panel between the
two AC electrical lines of the storage system.

3.1 ON-GRID Mode

During the on-Grid mode, the electrical energy produced from the PV panels, if not consumed immediately, will charge the
battery of the system and, if there will be an overproduction, it will be transferred to the public grid. On the contrary, in case the
electrical energy produced from the PV panels is not enough to satisfy the needs of the consumptions, the lacking part will be
supplied by the battery and, if even this will not be enough, from the public grid.
During the on-Grid mode, it is possible to take energy from the battery as long as the charge of this latter is more than 20% and
the power able to be taken from the battery gradually reduces when the battery approaches this percentage.
This threshold guarantees a long life of the battery and an energy reserve in case of blackout of the public grid (EPS mode).

3.2 EPS Mode

During the installation phase, it is possible to set the system so that in case of blackout of the public grid it supplies a part of the
consumptions (the so called privileged household appliances).

NOTE: The distinction between privileged and non-privileged consumptions is set by the installator (under supervision of the
final user) and can be modified only by qualified technical staff.

In case of blackout of the public grid, only the privileged consumptions are authorized to use the energy (energy produced from
the PV panels and/or supplied by the battery).
During this mode, called EPS mode, it is possible to take energy from the battery as long as the charge of this latter is more than
10% and the power able to be taken from the battery gradually reduces together with the battery status.
In this mode, it is moreover active the EPS electrical socket in the electric panel of the system (picture 2, indicator 7).
This mode is showed through the status 074 – EPS MODE.

3.3 Monthly recharge of the battery

In order to protect the battery life, on the first day of each month the system makes automatically a recharge of the battery
group up to 90%. During this activity, the system prefers to charge the battery, obviously from the panels, rather than supply
energy to the consumptions. The stored energy will not be wasted away, because it is completely available for the consumptions
at the end of this recharge phase.

NOTE: If, during the 15 days before the first day of each month, the battery has already done a recharge up to 90%, the above
mentioned recharge will not be executed.

This mode is showed through the status 065 – RIGEN.RICARICA

3.4 Winter functioning of the battery (Winter mode)

In order to protect the battery life, if the temperature of the battery goes down under 0°C degrees, it will be activated a
charge/discharge functioning as described below.
The winter functioning stops automatically when the room temperature is above 5°C.
This mode is showed through the status 041 – WINTER MODE.

6. Statuses of the system

#

Code

Description

68

WAITING...

The system waits (WAITING) that the status of the public grid
goes back to the range of the parameters fixed by the Directive
in force (for ex. CEI-021). In such status, the system does not
supply energy to the household appliances and does not take it
from the PV panels. When the status of the public grid goes back
to the range of the parameters fixed by the Directive in force,
the system checks (CHECKING) that the grid stays stable for one
minute. Then the system starts to supply energy to the
household appliances and takes it from the PV panels (on-Grid
mode).

69

CHECKING...

76

ENERGY SAVING

In case the battery is run down and the PV panels do not supply
energy, for ex. at night or during a very cloudy day, the system
stays in standby in order to reduce its consumption.

Picture 25 – Front of the electrical panel

8.1 Prolonged stop

During a prolonged stop the battery modules discharge automatically up to the minimum energy level.
This process deeply damages the battery modules so they can be stored for a limited period of time (max. 4 months).
In the specific case a very deep discharge, ie batteries that have not undergone a charge / discharge cycle for more than a
month, the discharge of the batteries can become irreversible; once the photovoltaic generator is restored they will not be able
to recover.

If the batteries are discharged beyond this minimum threshold, it is necessary to recharge them individually with a slow charging
procedure.

To avoid this, before a scheduled prolonged stop, you must contact the retailer.

8.3 RA.Store-3Bplus

To deactivate the RA.Store-3Bplus expansion, lower the lever of the switches present within the accumulator electrical panel
(green status indicator).
To activate the RA.Store-3Bplus expansion, raise the lever of the switches present within the electrical panel of the accumulator
(red status indicator).

9. Removal and disposal of the system

Do not dispose of the product with household waste, but in compliance with local and EU regulations for the disposal of
electronic waste applicable in the country of installation.
All electrical and electronic products must be disposed of separately from the municipal waste collection system, through
specific collection facilities installed by public bodies or local authorities.
Correct disposal of the obsolete unit contributes to preventing possible negative consequences on the health of individuals and
the environment.
For more detailed information on the disposal of obsolete equipment, contact the office of the municipality of residence, the
waste disposal service or the point of sale where the product was purchased.
