SP5000 Vitality Eco PV System
Glossary
1. SP5000 Vitality Eco: Manager of PV inputs, charging, discharging and
load supplying functions
2. PV panels: Receive sunlight and convert it into electricity
3. Battery Bank: Stores energy from mains and PV inputs
4. Protected Loads: Appliances & devices take AC power from SP5000
Vitality Eco, especiallyinblackout
5. Unprotected Loads: Loads supplied by grid or generator (mains)
directly. In case no AC from grid or generator, unprotected loads are
not powered any more. Usually, loads larger than SP5000 Vitality Eco
rating power should be connected here
6. Grid: Public AC utility
7. Generator1: Supplies AC power by diesel engine or other means
8. CloudLOGTM: The device transmit SP5000 Vitality Eco data to Internet

Principles of Operation
Functions
The SP5000 Vitality Eco PV system is an intelligent and automatic power
manager, it can be
On-grid Power Manager
In places with grid (utility), SP5000 Vitality Eco can manage the power from
PV, grid and battery. For protected loads connected to SP5000 Vitality Eco,
during blackout, SP5000 Vitality Eco can supply power to them from PV
and/or batteries.
Off-grid Power Supply
In places without grid, protected loads will be powered by the SP5000 Vitality
Eco. The power may come from PV panels and/or batteries. In case a
generator is connected, whenever power from PV and batteries are not
enough, SP 5000 Vitality Eco switches loads to generator directly.
Charge/Discharge Controller
While there is surplus PV power, SP5000 Vitality Eco will direct it to battery;
while PV power is not enough, SP5000 Vitality Eco will supply loads from
batteries.
In case you have enabled charging battery from mains, SP5000 Vitality Eco
will charge battery from mains whenever there is no PV power.
UPS
In case AC main is absent, inverter can supply “protected loads” from PV
and/or batteries. There will be about 10mS to take over and transfer the
power from mains.
For very critical loads cannot withstand the time of transfer, please use a “on
line” UPS in between inverter and critical loads.
Working with Grid
There are varieties of connections to work with grid; the differences are the
connections of inverter output and loads.
Off- grid mode
The loads get power EITHER from Mains (Grid or Generator) or inverter
output. Normally, SP5000 Vitality Eco provides power to loads, in abnormal
conditions such as failure, overload and battery is empty; the loads will be
switched to get from mains directly.

This application is suitable for
1 Blackout
2 With utility, but user DO NOT want to use utility or use utility as a backup
source
In this mode, inverter output is physically separated from grid; there will be no
power fed to grid.
On-grid mode- Net Metering
Inverter is physically connected to grid (mains) directly. The power to loads is
managed to be:
1. From SP5000 Vitality Eco only: In case the power from solar is
enough, SP5000 Vitality Eco converts PV power to loads directly. In
addition, surplus PV power (in addition to charge battery and loads)
is fed to grid so as to reduce the net power demand in certain period
2. From both SP5000 Vitality Eco and grid: While the power from PV is
not enough, SP5000 Vitality Eco and grid share the power

Surplus PV power

This application is suitable for Surplus PV power can be feed to grid and paid.
On-grid mode- Self Using
In some applications, e.g. grid is weak or feeding grid is not beneficial, surplus
power feeding is not encouraged; the PV power is used by their own. This is
“Self -Using”.
The operation principles are the same as “Net Metering” except that surplus
power is not fed to grid.
This application is suitable for PV power can be fed to grid but not paid.
Compensating Loads from Batteries
This SP5000 Vitality Eco can use energy in batteries to compensate power
from mains. This will minimize the power demand from your grid supplier.
Once enabled, inverter will take battery power to compensate the power
demands of “Protected Loads” or devices connected to “AC Loads”.

Choosing Proper Location
Do not expose the SP5000 Vitality Eco to sunlight, rain or water.
Install SP5000 Vitality Eco at visible level so you can see its status.
Fix SP5000 Vitality Eco on a solid, surface.
Keeping Clearance
Reserve at least 50 cm distance between the inverters.
