    Battery Operational Information

     

    Backup – allows for partial or whole home transition to off-grid during a grid outage.  Yes No

     

    Solar Self-Powered – the battery will charge from the renewable energy source during normal operation and discharge to serve loads behind your meter.           Yes  No

     

    Solar Non-Export – limits the export of energy to the grid to zero for both the battery and inverter, even if the battery system is fully charged and there is excess renewable source energy.  Yes  No

     

    Time-Based Control (sometimes called time-of-use or TOU mode) – the battery charges during off-peak hours and discharges to serve onsite loads during on-peak hours.   Yes  No

     

    Describe any other intended operation of the battery:
