Notes

Datasheet footer shows document code RD.TI.131.E.en-UK (same code as TS HV 50 E Hybrid) although file is RD.TI.144 - likely template reuse. Energy trading via TESVOLT Energy currently only in Germany (product page). Datasheets also published in nl-NL. Spec table nearly identical to FENECON Commercial 92 inverter pairing (same KACO gs 92).
