"Q on Demand 24/7" Function
If the Q on Demand 24/7 function is enabled,
the inverter self-test must be set to a time when
there is enough PV energy available to start the
inverters. If the PV energy is not high enough to
start the inverters, no self-test will take place.
Tip: If the Q on Demand 24/7 function is
enabled, set the time of the self-test so that the
inverter self-test occurs during the day.
You can choose any time for the inverter self-test.
