The backlit energy display shows instantaneous power, accumulative power,
AC voltage, AC current, AC power factor and AC frequency. See page 14 for
more details.
After dark when the solar input is no longer available the Inverter will
automatically disconnect from the AC grid. This feature ensures that during
the night, the Inverter cannot consume any power whatsoever while
remaining idle. Upon sunrise the next morning when solar input becomes
available again, the PV edge will automatically reconnect to the AC grid and
begin generating power.
The PV edge automatically synchronizes to the AC grid, therefore the output
of multiple units can all be connected together, and they will all be
synchronized by the AC grid.
The optimum power level from the solar input depends on the available solar
modules. Even in cloudy weather with fluctuations in the solar radiation
level, the PV Edge constantly monitors and tracks the optimum operating
point to ensure maximum power from the solar modules is achieved.
The AC grid voltage and frequency is closely monitored by the PVEdge
along with anti islanding checks via active phase shifts. Isolation between
the DC input and AC output is achieved via the Toroidal Transformer. The
Inverter is fitted with a cooling fan, which is temperature controlled and only
operates when required.
When in Battery mode (MPPT disabled) a maintenance cycle is performed
every 30 days. This is a short boost cycle for sealed batteries or an equalize
charge for flooded cells. In this mode the bottom LED will flash slowly until
the cycle is completed.
The Solar inputs of multiple unit Inverters are not to be parallelled
unless used with a battery. Please contact Latronics for more details.
