92 Operation
The Technical information page shows values that are only of interest to technically
oriented users.
The Sun display shows the current state of the unit and the output power in
graphical format. See The operating modes of the PVS300 string inverter on page 85
for examples. Use the up arrow to access the sun display.
When the unit is in power feeding mode, a full sun and ten rays are shown. The rays
are filled and empty in proportion to the current output power. For example, if half of
the rays are filled, the unit is operating at 50% output power.
Menu
Menu is the main menu from which the user can change parameters and access
event logs. The different features are accessed through a hierarchical navigation
structure of submenus.
Used for displaying a list of settings or selections which can be scrolled.
Date & time submenu
Used to set the time and date as well as to choose the display format.
The user must select Daylight saving OFF/ON from the Date & time menu.
Language submenu
The Language menu shows the available and selectable control unit language
versions.
Note: The current version of the inverter firmware has English language support only.
CO2 reduction submenu
Use this menu to set the carbon dioxide (CO
2
) reduction factor.
The reduction factor is used to calculate how many tonnes of carbon dioxide
emissions would have been produced if conventional electrical energy sources were
used instead of solar power. The default value is 0.7 t/MWh. If the value is set to zero
then the CO2 reduction header is not shown in the Output view.
Traditional electrical energy sources produce carbon dioxide emissions. The level of
carbon dioxide emissions varies depending on the local electricity production mix.
Check the carbon dioxide emission data from your local electrical utility or carbon
monitoring institutes. Solar energy offsets production from traditional energy sources
and thereby reduces carbon dioxide emissions.
Screen submenu
Used to set the screen brightness, contrast and screensaver delay
