5.2.14 Setting the Inverter Self-Test

"Q on Demand 24/7" Function
If the Q on Demand 24/7 function is enabled, the
inverter self-test must be set to a time when there is
enough PV energy available to start the inverters. If
the PV energy is not high enough to start the inverters,
no self-test will take place.

set the time of the self-test so that the inverter self-test
occurs during the day.
You can choose any time for the inverter self-test.
