The Network Terminators are required for proper functionality of the AEBus network. Care should be taken to
ensure they are installed.
▲ CAUTION
All AES batteries in a battery bank are required to be
connected to the AEBus network. Failure to do so could
result in equipment damage.
5. APPLICATION CONFIGURATIONS
5.1 Grid-Tie with DC Coupled Solar
This conguration will primarily keep the batteries fully charged from solar. When there is excess solar it will be sold
back to the grid. In the event of a grid blackout the energy stored in the batteries will be used to power critical loads.
To maximize self-consumption in a Grid Sell operation when there is no incentive to sell power back to the grid, the
battery capacity should be sized to take into consideration: energy demands during non-daylight hours, size of PV
array, and amount of back-up time desired during grid outages.
Typical operating modes for this conguration: Back-up/Off-grid, Grid sell, Peak-load shaving, and Grid charging.

5.2 Grid-Tie with AC Coupled Solar
This conguration is typically a retrot to existing grid tied (AC Coupled) solar systems. The Schneider Conext
Inverter provides pass through for the solar grid-interactive inverter to sell to the grid. In island mode the
Schneider inverter and grid-interactive inverter power critical loads. The primary source for battery charging is
solar through the grid-interactive inverter.
