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

9. CloudVOLTTM: The Internet monitoring system

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.

10

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

11

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”.

To do this, please enable the “BAT-> Load” function is settings menu.

Power Priority2

To Loads

The power supplied to loads from different sources follows the priorities.

In off-grid mode, it is

In on-grid mode, it is

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.
