FAQs — EMS
Is EMS included in hybrid inverter?+
Not necessarily. Request equipment, license and interface requirements for each function; do not assume all SUN2000 or other range models include the same EMS.
Can EMS manage my EV charging station?+
Only with a charger and vehicle supporting the intended functions. Check surplus charging, minimum charge, power, scheduling and manual control in documentation.
