See below picture to understand the implementation of an AC011E-01 (AC-Charger) in a SUNGROW 3-phase SHRT-V11 inverter system.
PLEASE NOTE: To ensure proper communication functionality, only use WiNet-S as communication device.
Fig.1.
Commissioning steps:
• Connect power line.
• Connect RS 485 between AC-Charger and SHxxRT inverter. (No WiFi)
• Update all SUNGROW devices to latest firmware. (SHxxRT; SBR, WiNet-S)
• Make sure, you installed the latest version of iSolarCloud on your mobile device.
• After previous steps were successful, the AC-Charger visualization appears automatically in iSolarCloud.
BE AWARE: Only the end customer iSolarCloud account has full access to the AC- Charger visualization and allowed start and change the charging modes.
To connect the AC-Charger to the power network, use the connection area on the back of the device.
Fig.2.
To connect the AC-Charger to the SHRT RS485 interface, it is recommended to use the RJ45 male connector (included in AC011E-011 delivery) and plug it in the communication terminal of the AC-Charger. Please use dedicated COM terminal on the SHRT as shown below.
Fig.3.
If you use SHRT V112 Hardware or later Version:
After installation and proper wired RS485-Communication, please set the Charger Access Port parameter in Energy Management Parameters in the Advanced Settings of the SHRT according to the used RS485 port.
Fig.4.
BE AWARE: All SUNGROW equipment, including SHRT, SBR, WiNet-S and iSolarCloud App, must be updated to the latest firmware version.
When the AC-Charger is connected to the inverter and all devices are powered up (latest firmware on all devices required), the AC-Charger appears on iSolarCloud in the middle circle (1.). To see the AC-Charger details, press either the grey dot or grey arrow (2.).

This overview shows you some details about the last or current charging cycle with the connected vehicle. (If an EV or PHEV is connected)
Fig.6.
BE AWARE: Only the end customer iSolarCloud account has full access to the AC- Charger visualization and allowed start and change the charging modes. For installers, these options are greyed out, as shown on the picture above.
In iSolarCloud-App, you can find the AC-Charger in the Device and Plant Overview. To view general information, Faulty history and charging record, select EV Charger in the Device Overview.

BE AWARE: Only the end customer iSolarCloud account has full access to the AC- Charger visualization and allowed start and change the charging modes.
This is an overview of the different charging modes the AC-charger provides in a Hybrid inverter system:
Green Power Charging: This mode is the most economical charging mode in which the charger take priority to use PV energy to charge the vehicle while not affecting the power consumption of other household appliances. If the PV power is lower than the minimum charging power of the charger, the battery and the power grid shall supplement the power.
Fast Charging: The charger can charge the vehicle with the maximum available power in this mode while not affecting the power consumption of other household appliances. In this case, the charging power may come from PV modules, batteries, power grid or all. Users can choose this mode when they need to charge the vehicle urgently.
Pre-set Charging: In this mode, after the user inputs the planned charge amount and pickup time, the system will intelligently switch between in the smart charging mode and fast charging mode, so that the vehicle can be charged at the lowest cost before it is picked up by the user.
Customized Charging: In this mode, users set the appointment time and charging current to charge the EV. The charging power may come from PV modules, batteries, power grid or all.
