Inverter in reboot cycle every morning

Hi

New install, my inverter seems to be going into a restart cycle every morning about 05:00 for an hour or so. Is this faulty? The installer says it's because there's no battery installed yet...

I have:

Fox ESS H1 G2
3.0kW 1ph Hybrid Inverter

Input 1: 1 string of 4 Trina Vertex S+ 450W Dual Glass Full Black N-Type Mono solar panels
Input 2: 1 string of 4 Trina Vertex S+ 450W Dual Glass Full Black N-Type Mono solar panels

No it’s not faulty, the inverter is powered from DC (Solar or Battery), so without battery it will power down at night and power back up again when there is enough solar to wake it up - it’s not a problem but obviously works a lot better with a battery as you’ll have statistics 24/7 then.
