Once the commissioning is completed, please follow the below checklists to test the
system.
1. The inverter only shows green light ON and status shows Running; if the
existing solar power is sufficient, the system should charge the battery.
2. Turn more house load ON to see whether the battery discharges.
3. If the EPS box (or backup) is installed, turn off the grid supply main to test
the Off-grid function; if the function is OK and then turn the grid supply main
to ON.
4. After completing these testing, the system should run OK.
For any assistance, please contact Sungrow Service Department on 1800 786 476.
