Pairing the main device with On Grid solar system

NOTE: The system does not support 2 solar strings, and adding 2 solar PTEs is not possible. If you want to add another solar to the system, first remove the existing solar and then add the new solar.

If you have installed the PowerTag with an existing On Grid solar system, the power flow would be in any of the following directions:

  • Grid to Home: Import

    (Home consuming power from Grid)
  • Home to Grid: Export

    (Excess power from Solar production fed to Grid)

It is necessary to configure the correct power direction else the PowerTag may measure the power direction incorrectly - (Grid to Home as export) and (Home to grid as import).

  1. On the Home page, tap  .
  2. Tap Devices >  >  Energy.
  3. Select PowerTag Energy.
  4. The Device Discovery page will search for a minute to display the available PowerTags.
  5. If there is more than one device available, select one among them.
  6. On the Device Configuration page, tap Identify to recognize the main PowerTag.
    A notification window is prompted and the status LED flashes fast in green on the PowerTag.
  7. Tap OK on the notification window when you have finished identifying the PowerTag.
  8. Tap to assign a label to the PowerTag.
    The label list appears on the Type page.
  9. Select a label type (Grid) and tap Save.
    NOTE: It is recommended to select the Grid type to represent the main PowerTag.
    Once the Grid type is selected, by default the Name is assigned as Main Incomer.
  10. Tap (A) and select Yes if you have installed solar panels.
    The power direction will be enabled automatically.
  11. Tap (B) and select any one of the options based on your requirement:
    • Yes, I sell all of it: (Grid tied solar system) Connected to the Grid (main supply) of the house. All the produced energy is fed into the Grid.
    • Yes, I sell some of it: (On Grid solar system) Connected to the Grid (main supply) of the house. If the system produces more energy than is used, the excess power is fed into the Grid.
    • No: (Off Grid solar system) Works independently and is not connected to the Grid but have batteries which can store solar power generated by the system.
  12. Set the Grid Limit (C).
    NOTE: Grid limit is the maximum permissible power on the Grid on your contract. It will help to prevent power tripping by shutting down loads in order to keep the power consumption under a defined limit. By default, the grid limit is set to measure in kVA.

    Select your grid limit (kVA/A/kW) from the dropdown menu, then tap and enter a value using the dial pad as per your country. The following table displays the default values within the range:

    Country

    Default Value

    Range

    France

    36 kVA

    1–42 kVA

    Germany

    60 A

    15–160 A

    Spain

    15 kW

    1–42 kW

    Belgium

    40 A

    15–160 A

    Sweden

    20 A

    16–63 A

    Denmark

    25 A

    25–35 A

    IMPORTANT: You cannot enter a value that is greater or less than the specified range.
  13. If you have selected the option as Yes, I sell all of it and the power direction is from Grid to Home.
    1. Enable the Reverse Direction toggle switch.
  14. If you have selected the option as Yes, I sell some of it.
    1. Switch off the solar circuit breaker.
      If the power direction is from Home to Grid.
    2. Enable the Reverse Direction toggle switch.
    3. Switch on the solar circuit breaker.
      IMPORTANT: Enabling Reverse Direction ensures the power direction is correct.
  15. If you have selected the option as No, the power direction is Grid to Home. Enable the Reverse Direction toggle switch if the power direction is incorrect.
  16. Tap Save.
  17. You will be notified to enter the tariff after the PowerTag is commissioned, refer to Setting Tariff.
    NOTE:
    • If you have already configured your tariff, you will be directed to Home page to view the status of device.

    • If PowerTag is installed before installing an On Grid solar system, refer to Advanced settings.

    • If you have configured your PowerTag as Solar or Solar / Battery (combo), (A) field Do you have solar panels? will be disabled. Refer to Pairing the device with ESS.
