To support the Solar Access Program the PWRcell system mode of the system the beneficiary receives should be set to Clean Backup to ensure optimal performance during loss of grid power.

In Clean Backup mode, the inverter prioritizes keeping the battery charged and ready for a grid interruption using solar power only. If the battery is not fully charged, the inverter uses all available solar power to charge the battery. PWRcell Batteries will not export to the grid in this system mode.

If there is a utility service interruption while operating in Clean Backup, the system will enter Island Mode. Protected loads will be supported by solar and battery power. If enough solar power is available, solar will simultaneously charge the battery and support the loads.

When the battery is fully charged, solar power will flow to local loads and the grid.

This setting can be changed while on site or when in the PWR Fleet platform, Or can be changed when completing commission while on site.
