INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION01

GoodWe EH series, also called hybrid or bidirecational solar inverters, apply to solar system with participa-

tion of PV, battery, loads and grid system for energy management. The energy produced by PV system

shall be used to optimize self-consumption, excess power charge battery and the rest power could be

exported to the grids. Battery shall discharge to support loads when PV power is insufficient to meet

self-consumption. If both PV power and battery power is insufficient, the system will take power form grid

to support loads.

Note: The introduction describes a general behavior of EH system.

The operation mode can be adjusted on GoodWe PV Master APP

based on the system layout. Below are the general operation based on

01

the system layout. Below are the general operation modes for EH

system.

1.1 OPERATION MODES INTRODUCTION

EH system normally has the following operation modes based on your configuration and layout conditions.

1.2 SAFETY & WARNING

The EH series hybrid inverter of Jiangsu GoodWe Power Supply Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter called

as GoodWe) strictly comply with related safety rules for product design and testing. Please read and follow

all the instructions and cautions on the hybrid inverter or user manual during installation, operation or

maintenance, as any improper operation might cause personal or damage.

• SYMBOLS EXPLANATION

Caution!
Failing to observe a warning indicated in this manual may result in injury.

Danger of high voltage and electric shock!

02

Danger of hot surface!

Components of the product can be recycled.

This side up! The package must always be transported, handled and stored in such a
way that the arrows always point upwards.

The energy produced by the PV system is used to

optimize self-consumption. The excess energy is used to

charge the batteries, then exported to gird.

When grid fails , the system automatically switches to

Back-Up mode, the Back-Up load could be supported by

PV and battery.

When there is no PV, and the battery is sufficient , It can

supply the load with the grid together.

Battery could be charged by grid, and charge time/power

could be set flexibly on PV Master APP.

No more than six (6) identical packages being stacked on each other.

Product should not be disposed as household waste.

The package/product should be handled carefully and never be tipped over or slung.

Refer to the operating instructions.

Keep dry! The package/product must be protected from excessive humidity and must
be stored under cover.

Inverter will be touchable or operable after minimum 5 minutes of being turned off or
totally disconnected, in case of any electrical shock or injury.

INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

• SAFETY WARNING

Any installation and operation on hybrid 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

03

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.

PV negative (PV-) and battery negative (BAT-) on inverter side is not grounded as default design.
Connecting PV- or BAT- to EARTH are strictly forbidden.

1.3 PRODUCT OVERVIEW

04

Wi-Fi Reset

PV modules used on the inverter must have an IEC61730 class A rating, and the total open-circuit
voltage of PV string/array is lower than the maximum rated DC input voltage of the inverter. Any
damage caused by PV over-voltage is beyond warranty.

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
on page 16.

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’.

BE CONNECTED TO

For inverter’s protection and convenient maintenance, mounting location for inverter should be selected
carefully based on the following rules:

Any part of this system shouldn’t block the switch and breaker to disconnected inverter from DC and AC power.

Rule 1. Inverter should be installed on a solid surface, where is suitable for inverter’s dimensions

and weight.

Rule 2. Inverter installation should stand vertically or lie on a slop by max 15° (Pic 1)

15°

Rule 3. Ambient temperature should be lower than 45℃
Rule 4. The installation of inverter should be protected under shelter from direct sunlight or bad

weather like snow, rain, lightning etc. (Pic 2)

2.4.1 PV WIRING CONNECTION

Remember that this inverter is heavy! Please be careful when lifting out from the package.

The

inverter

is suitable for mounting on concrete or other non-combustible surface only

Step 1

Wall bracket

• Please use the mounting bracket as a template to
drill 4 holes on right positions (10mm in diameter,
and 80mm in depth) (Pic 4)

• Use expansion bolts in accessory box and fix the
mounting bracket onto the wall tightly

Note: Bearing capacity of the wall must be higher
than 17kg, otherwise may not be able to keep
inverter from dropping.
