WIT 4-15K-HU Commissioning Guide
After the installation of the WIT 4-15K-HU inverter is completed, the setting parameters need to be configured according to the on-site requirements. This document takes OSS as an example (The settings of ShinePhone are basically similar to OSS and can be referred to).
After the correct installation and power-on, first use OSS to check whether the code
version number matches the latest released version (the latest version as of May 2025 is
V0907-5). The system firmware version information can be viewed by OSS. If it does not
match, it is recommended to upgrade to the latest released version. And set and confirm the relevant setting items.
n Description of Settings Items on the OSS Interface
There are the following eight major items of settings on the OSS interface. After the installation is completed, these eight types of parameters need to be set.
1. Regulation Parameter Settings
Just use the default parameters, no special settings are required after installation.
2. General Settings
①System default working mode ": Set according to requirements, and do not modify it if
the requirements are not clear (Default mode: Load First).
②AC charging power percentage ": If it is not 100, it is recommended to modify it to 100 (representing allowing charging from the AC side).
3. Battery Settings
(1) Lithium battery with BMS
Generally, no special settings are required. It is recommended to focus on checking
whether the "Maximum Charge/Discharge Power" and "Maximum Charge/Discharge
Current" are set too small (Please check the charging and discharging current supported by the battery and inverter). The "Maximum charging voltage of battery" and "Discharge cutoff voltage" should be kept at the default 60V and 40V.
(2) Lead - acid Battery or Lithium battery without BMS
For the settings related to lead - acid batteries (or lithium - ion batteries without BMS),
please refer to the "Lead-acid Battery Setting Guide for WIT4-15K-HU". If you are not sure, you can consult the after-sales team of Growatt.
4. On/Off-grid Parameter Settings
Default parameters, no special settings are required after installation;
Note: If there are special requirements, such as not allowing the system to work in
off-grid mode, you can set the "off-grid enable" option to "Disable";
5. Single Inverter Export limitation Settings
(1) Export limitation Settings
①If the export limitation function is to be disabled, set this item to "Disabled";
②If a meter is used for export limitation, set this item to "Enable Meter 1";
③If external CT are used for export limitation, set this item to "External CT";
④If Internal CT are used for export limitation, set this item to "Internal CT" (This function means export limiitation to backup load, and only the load connected to the Load port will be displayed on the monitoring systems).
(2) Phase-Level Export Limitation Settings.
If the phase-level export limitation function is required locally, set it to "Enable", otherwise set it to "Disable".
6. Parallel Parameter Settings
(1) Parallel Enable
Note: Under parallel operation, two parameters such as "Number of parallel units" also need to be set. Please refer to the introduction document of parallel operation. If you are not sure, you can consult the after-sales team of Growatt.
7. Key parameter settings
(1) "On-grid cable system" and "Off-grid cable system" Settings
For the 3P4W system (in most scenarios), no setting is required, just keep the default values. If there are special requirements and the 3P3W system needs to be used:
①Set "parameter protection enable" to "Enabled";
②Set both "On-grid Cable System" and "Off-grid Cable system" to "3P3W".
(2) N-line Unconnected Enable (default" connected ")
①If an N line is connected on site, this setting item does not need to be modified; (Generally, there is an N wire on site and no setting is required.)
②If N line is not connected on site, "N-line unconnected enable" needs to be set to "unconnected".
8. Advanced Settings
(1) Device Mode Selection and Time Setting
Configure "Device Mode Selection and Time Settings" according to requirements. If only one working mode is needed, set all time periods here to Disable, and the system will work according to the "System Default Working Mode" in "2. General Settings". Please note that time periods cannot overlap when setting here.
(2) PeakShaving(Default "Disable")
①If the peakshaving function is not required, keep the default value without
modification;
②If you need peakshaving function: turn "Peakshaving(Demand management)
settings" to "On", and set "Peakshaving(Demand management) Export power limit" and "Peakshaving(Demand management) Inport power limit" respectively.
Similarly, if the Peak Shaving function is not required, keep the default value without modification;
If the Peakshaving function is required, "Peak Shaving Backup SOC Enable" is enabled, and the "PeakShaving Backup SOC" is set as needed。
(3) Micro-grid System
①GEN port access device type (default "generator")
If there is no need for GEN interface to connect smart loads or GEN interface to
AC-couple inverters, no modifications will be made. If there are other requirements, this item can be set.
②Generator Enabled (default "Disabled") / Rated power of Generator
If there is no need to use generator, no modification will be made; if there is a need to use generator, set this item to "Enable".
At the same time, set the "rated power of generator" according to the actual situation;
③Enable Meter 1 / Enable Meter 2 (Default "No")
If there is a meter connected to the grid side, set "Enable Meter 1" to "Enable/On" as needed.
If the AC-couple system that connects a PV inverter and a meter on the grid side, set "Enable Electricity Meter 2" to "Yes". If the system does not connect an inverter on the grid side, there is no need to modify this setting item. Just keep the default "No".
④"AC Couple Enabled" (default "Disabled")
If the GEN port is connected to a PV inverter(GEN port AC-couple solution), this setting item needs to be modified to "Enabled/On". If the GEN port is not connected to a PV inverter, there is no need to modify it, just keep the default "Disabled".
(4) Safety Function Control
①"Low voltage ride through enable" (default "disable")
Check the "Low Voltage Ride Through Enable" setting item. If there is no low voltage ride through requirement, keep the setting as "Disabled".
n Special setting instructions
1. Instructions on related settings for external CT/ meter configuration
①When the system needs to set the export limitation enable function, follow "Part 1 Description of Settings Items on the OSS Interface" -> "5. Single Inverter Export limitation Settings" -> "(1) Export limitation Settings";
②When the system does not need to use export limitation function but install a meter or CT, it is necessary to separately set the "Meter 1 enable" or "External CT" enable; if the
system uses a meter, follow "Part 1 Description of Settings Items on the OSS Interface" -> "8. Advanced Settings" -> "(3) Micro-grid System" -> set "Enable Meter 1" to "Enable"; if the
system uses an external CT, it is necessary to set the "863" register to 1 through the "Register" setting item in the OSS settings.
2. Instructions on the relevant settings for the dual-meter method
If there is an inverter operating in a grid-connected mode on-site, a dual-meter method needs to be adopted. The setting methods of the two meters are introduced respectively:
①For the "grid-side", it can be connected to a meter or an external CT. Refer to "1. Instructions on related settings for external CT/ meter configuration" for the setting of this item.
②For the "inverter-side", it can only be connected to a meter. Refer to "Part 1
Description of Settings Items on the OSS Interface" -> "(3) Micro-grid System" -> set "Enable meter 2" to 1 for the setting of this item.
3. Instructions on relevant settings for connecting the GEN port to the inverter
If there is an inverter in the working mode of being connected to the GEN port on site, the following settings are required:
①Equipment type connected to the GEN port: Refer to "Part 1 Description of Settings Items on the OSS Interface" -> "8. Advanced Settings" -> "(3) Micro-grid System" -> " ① Equipment type connected to the GEN port" and set it to "PV Inverter".
② AC Couple Enable: Refer to "Part 1 Description of Settings Items on the OSS Interface" - > "8. Advanced Settings" -> "(3) Micro-grid System" - > " ④AC Couple Enable" and set it to "Enable".

Hi Martin,
I hope you are doing well. This is Atiq.
I am currently facing a critical issue with my Growatt WIT 15K-HU inverter. The zero export function is not working correctly in actual operation, and power is still being exported to the grid despite the settings being configured. Growatt Pakistan has reviewed the system and informed me that “everything is OK,” however the issue persists.
In my case, I am observing a 3-phase imbalance where one phase is importing power while the other two phases are exporting simultaneously. I was advised by the local representative that the “Single machine anti backflow” (single-phase anti backflow) setting should remain disabled. However, based on my understanding, enabling this feature should help control export on an individual phase basis.
Could you please clarify whether this setting should be enabled for proper per-phase export control in such a scenario? Additionally, I would appreciate your guidance on the correct configuration to ensure true zero export across all phases.
Looking forward to your support on this matter.
Kind regards,
Atiq
