2.8.1 Match load

The product is under remote control mode by default after power on and will discharge by matching
household appliance or charge by matching PV automatically after receiving no remote control
command.
Note: In order to ensure that the product is under standby, the product may charge its battery from grid
(about 0.3KWh-0.4KWh electric energy of grid will be consumed) when it shows low battery since it
cannot be charged by PV in rainy days
