Can off grid hybrid inverter be set to schedule charging and discharging? The answer is yes. Today, there are a wide variety of inverters on the market, and their functions are becoming increasingly diverse. Many off grid hybrid inverter produced by inverter manufacturers, such as Xindun Power off grid hybrid inverter manufacturer, feature scheduled charging and discharging functions.
What is the purpose of the scheduled charging and discharging function on off grid hybrid solar inverter? This function plays multiple important roles in practical applications. The core role of the scheduled charging and discharging function on off grid hybrid solar inverter lies in economic efficiency. It can effectively take advantage of the differences in peak and off peak electricity prices in the local electricity market, storing energy during low price periods and releasing it during peak price periods, significantly reducing users' electricity costs. Furthermore, this function protects battery life, prevents overcharging and over discharging, reduces frequent charging and discharging, and reduces the number of battery cycles consumed. Furthermore, this function optimizes energy efficiency, avoiding wasteful solar power generation and reducing inefficient utility power consumption, thereby maximizing energy utilization.
For example, the Xindun HP PLUS+ off grid hybrid inverter (10KW/12KW) features a time based charging and discharging function, with three configurable time periods. Users can set these three different charging and discharging periods based on local peak and off peak electricity prices, effectively allocating power between utility power, solar power, and batteries. When utility prices are high, battery inverter can be used to supply power to loads, reducing electricity costs. When utility prices are low, utility power can be used to power and charge loads, maximizing savings.
Users can enable or disable the timed charging and discharging function in the Xindun HP PLUS+ off grid hybrid solar inverter (10KW/12KW) settings. However, before first use, you must first set the local time and date, and then set the time period based on local peak and off peak electricity prices.
Off grid hybrid solar inverter from various manufacturers are available on the market, and this feature varies from inverter to inverter. The following uses the Xindun HP PLUS+ off grid hybrid solar inverter (10KW/12KW) as an example for an introduction:
Time based AC charging/loading: When this function is enabled, three user defined time periods are available (00:00-23:59) for charging and loading. During these time periods, if there is solar power output, the inverter will prioritize solar power. If there is no solar power output or if the solar power is insufficient, the AC power will be used as a supplement.
Time based battery discharge: When this function is enabled, three user defined time periods are available (00:00-23:59) for battery discharge. During these time periods, the inverter will prioritize battery power for loading. If the battery power is low, the inverter will automatically switch to AC power to ensure stable load operation. The Xindun HP PLUS+ off grid hybrid solar inverter (10KW/12KW) features three operating modes: hybrid, off grid, and on grid. It allows for the synergistic and complementary operation of solar, mains, and batteries. The scheduled charge and discharge function maximizes the value of these three modes.
In off grid mode, only the scheduled discharge function is enabled to cover peak loads, preventing battery discharge during the day and power loss at night. If the scheduled charge function is disabled, solar power is used to charge the battery first.
In on grid mode, scheduled charging is enabled during off peak hours and scheduled discharge is enabled during peak hours, allowing users to store electricity during off peak hours and sell it during peak hours, profiting from the peak off peak price difference.
In hybrid mode, scheduled charging is enabled, using mains power during off peak hours, charging the battery with solar power, and supplying the battery with power during peak hours, preventing solar power from feeding back into the utility power (preventing backflow). Here are two Xindun off grid hybrid solar inverter that support scheduled charging and discharging:
