Connecting SolaX Batteries to an Inverter: Compatibility and Backup Options Guide

Introduction

This guide provides clear instructions for connecting SolaX batteries to compatible inverters, detailing the required communication protocols and pin configurations, as well as explaining how to use backup power options safely and effectively.

Compatibility Requirements

To ensure proper connection and communication between your SolaX battery and inverter, verify that your inverter supports one of the following communication protocols:

• CAN PYLON protocol
• RS485 protocol

Check your battery documentation for the correct pin configuration required for the communication cables. Using the correct pin assignment is essential to establish stable and reliable communication between the battery and inverter.

Connection Procedure

Follow these steps to connect your SolaX battery to the inverter:

1. Identify the communication ports on both the battery and inverter.
2. Use the appropriate communication cable and ensure it matches the pin configuration specified in your battery's manual.
3. Connect the cable securely to the CAN PYLON or RS485 ports on both devices.
4. Power on the inverter and battery, then verify communication status via the inverter interface or monitoring platform.

Backup Power Options

For backup functionality using SolaX low-voltage batteries and inverters, you can connect your household loads directly to the EPS (Emergency Power Supply) port on the inverter. This method provides backup power without the need for an additional Matebox accessory.

Important considerations when using the EPS port for backup are:

• Ensure the total connected load does not exceed the inverter’s specified power limit to avoid overload and potential damage.
• Verify that all backup loads are compatible with the inverter's output specifications.
• Follow all safety guidelines and electrical codes applicable in your region when making connections.

Additional Tips

• Consult your inverter and battery user manuals for detailed wiring diagrams and instructions.
• Use only cables and connectors approved or recommended by SolaX Power to ensure safety and compliance.
• If unsure about any wiring or configuration steps, contact SolaX customer support or a certified professional installer.

Conclusion

By following the compatibility guidelines and connection instructions, you can effectively integrate SolaX batteries with your inverter and take advantage of seamless backup power options. Always prioritize safety and compliance to ensure reliable and long-lasting system performance.
