Thanks Peter, very informative as usual.

Awesome, thanks

Good day dear, I need to know please if i can link my 12 panels 700watt each with a total panels voc of 585 and my solis max is 600 volt. Is it safe especially that i heard in winter when the temperature is 5c the voc of the panels will exceed the 600 v of the inverter. Can i link them in my solis in 1 MPPT for better efficiency or it might be not good ? Many thanks

My name Mr Emmanuel I Have problem wait Inevrter solis , the problem Inverter pending

Hi Sir, could you send the link store, to buy acrel meter 1 phase. Thanks

It’s worth mentioning check your smart meter. Mine was set to 00:30 -07:30 in winter, and in summer this was 01:30-08:30, they don’t change to BST. I raised this with my supplier e-on and they said they wouldn’t change the meter unless it was 2 hours out. I got the Bright app and checked my meter. I charged my battery from midnight and i was charged normal day rate until 01:30 from April. I am in the process of disputing it, but thought to let anyone doing charge from the grid to check your meter,it may ne incorrectly configured.

Nice clear and simple instructions. Thank you.

How do i know what kind of meter i have. Are the meters you are referring to the small din rail meters on a electrical sub board? As mine are not branded eastrom or acrel.

Hello. is it possible to reset the acrel ACR 10r counter to factory settings?

uhm, question. I want to use the solar power to charge the batteries and discharge to the house in the evening and night. i've put in the setting from the manual, yet it doesn't work like what i ask from it. any advice ?

Hi Peter, Mine was installed 2 weeks ago, 6kw inverter, most of the days I am not seeing any export, all that is produced is showing as house usage but I have nothing to use 3-4kwh, is there a setting in the inverter that must be wrong? Sometimes it shows all that is produced as export. I have a 10kw battery as well. Can't post a screenshot.... Hopefully you can help. Thanks

Weve recently moved into a house with a Solis 5 installed and we dont have access to the web or app, installer isnt interested as were passed their 12 month warranty and call out. Is there a way to set this up ourselves or do we have to pay for the installer to come our? Our inverter has an ethernet cable running down does that mean its cloud enabled?

Very Helpful is it possible to print off the script for the vidio instructions ??

Hi, Is it possible to do this from the Solis cloud app? Thanks.

are you able to help? I don't have the 'Inverter control' button but when i check my account settings it says i am the owner not a guest. thanks

How to add weather info to Solis inverter S6-GR1P5K-S, please?

We have a hybrid 6kw solis inveter and a volt protector device attached before it. The voltage protector show 2 to 2.5 amp import from grid while the inverter app shows that grid is not being used and power is only coming from solar. What is the problem?

Hi please how to get in to reserve soc i cant find it in the storage set do i need to download solis cloud?

I set my solis inverter to charge at cheep rate and to discharge during the day and it worked for two days. This morning I adjusted the timing and now the inverter won’t discharge, I wonder if it will attempt to charge tonight?

Can you control it with HA as easy as the S5

Very clever, i never considered stopping the battery entirely during the cheap rate window even for low loads. Definitely going this ASAP

Good morning, I have 2 photovoltaic systems, the first with 6kW panels and the other with 3kW panels. Wanting to charge the batteries of the second system using the electricity mains from 11am to 3.00pm since I wouldn't spend anything, what should I do? Thank you

SOL-S6-EH1P8K-L-PRO wen is available in the UK?

SOL-S6-EH1P8K-L-PRO when is available in the UK ?

Thank you very much. Your video helped me to solve my problem.

Hi Pk on Solis, can help me to understand why will electric usage skyrocketed soon as I put on my storage battery and keeps charging at anytime even when I have set up charge time to be 2 am till 4 am.

Good morning, congratulations for the explanation, I'm writing to you from Sicily. I have a 6 kW system connected to the manager for on-site exchange. I created another system with dedicated 3.2 kW panels attached only to the new inverter of the same type as in your video. The question is one, if there is little sun what the inverter takes from its panels if it is not enough for example to operate a 2000w oven it takes the requirement from the batteries therefore not using for example an input power of the panels from 1000w to charge if the batteries run out. Therefore, reading through the AT, a consumption of 2000 W takes 1000 from the panels and 1000 from the batteries. In reality I produce more energy with the other system and I can easily tolerate a higher discharge of 3kw. Question: From the table indicated at minute 4.45 where there are the words Charge time and discharge time, I would like for example from 7am until the 3.2kW panels produce charging the batteries. If full, place the surplus inside the house so as to have available the total current produced by the panels of the two 6 + 3.2 kW systems. Using the discharge parameters I would like to set the use of the batteries if required by the production insufficiency, for example from 08.00 pm to 07.00 am. Does this term discharge serve precisely to program the times in which I can draw from the batteries? Thank you so much. George

Hello, I am considering an off grid solis inverter in my system. I came across your video, which is very good with right balance between device capabilities and description. Would you happen to know if I was to use a secondhand solis inverter for an off grid system whether I can still create an account and use the solis app?

Thanks very much. I have no idea what any of this means but, thanks to your video, the problem is solved.

Are these available in the uk?

Hi. Thanks for the details. I got mine installed a month ago. I am concerned about connecting Narada lithium ion BMS to the inverter. Could you please guide in this regard

That’s very helpful, thanks. I’ve set a 3 hr charge window at 1 Amp when I charge my EV. If I decide to charge my solar batteries at this time also, what’s the max amperage/current I should be updating the charge amperage/current to?

Thanks, that's really helpful. I'd not thought of setting the discharge rate to zero. Do you need to change these settings at the start and end of British Summer Time?

In the summer how do you switch off the force overnight charge ?

Thank you for clarifying the procedure to follow. Do you have any ideas as far as the wiring diagram goes? During installation the dongle was twisted which caused some of the cable to become loose, leaving me with no clue wich wire goes to which of the four connectors

Can you set it up to charge at night of EV tariffs and charger day via solar panels?

Are you able to re-do this video with the latest web page version as an update? Otherwise another great video and glad I don't have to go outside to do this!

Strange why my PylonTech Force L-2 batteries only have a listed discharge of 100Amp for 3 -7 packs, when their other batteries increase with each unit added??

My Charge rate is just 14.8A and discarge 100A. Do you know why the charge rate is so low?

Is there any way to access the settings shown in these videos other than by going directly to the inverter control panel - e.g. a web page - and avoid climbing into a loft? The basic web page I can see on my system only allows very basic setting changes such as WiFi connections and server addresses - is there also a URL that would give access to the more advanced functions? Thanks

Mi scusi ho 2 batterie us3000c ma non è stato settato nessuna batteria come master può influire?. Grazie ho un inverter della solis da 5kw per le info del bms ho il cavo sulla porta a/can

Great, thanks. Just what I wanted to know.

Thanks

Hi Peter I'm just in the process of adding a new battery to my system I only have one at the moment.so I'm going to take down the older one and balance it with the new one and then I'm going to use the new one as the slave.could you tell me which way I do the coms cable to each battery.and also do I need to turn off the inverter or just the batteries hope to hear from you soon.paul

Thank you for this really useful video. What a nice piece of kit! However, it seems very slow to enter the UK market: does anyone know when it will be released in Britain?

Hi Peter I have a 3.6 klw inverter solis and I've changed the time on to grid charge but I have only 1 battery and the input charge is 10 amp and the discharge is 25 amp.I have a us2000 Pylontec battery can I increase the input charge to 20 amp safely as after grid charge for 3 hours 20 mins it is still at 20%when we get up at the moment we have our electric underfloor heating on a low setting just wondered if you can help.Paul

Hi Peter, I wonder whether you can enlighten me please. I can't get my head around the legends and direction of travel of the arrows on the display, especially for the battery when charging. My Storage mode select/Time Charging option has Optimal Income available as Stop and Run. Depending on which I select, the direction of travel on the main display around the battery shows the battery either charging/ discharging immediately change I'm having to change my Time charge times to suit something I don't understand. Where do I see whether I'm paying for the charge or getting it free for the panels? The scenario I'm trying to get to is that my panels start to generate at about 9:30am, I have two big ticket devices, pool pump comes on at 11am, pool heater comes on at 1pm. both go off about 4:30pm Together they consume about 2.4kw. At this time of year I'm generating about 3.7kw. I don't have a cheap rate as such but I've got 2 free hours from 18:00 to 20:00. I only have one time charge period on my time charging screen when I could really do with more. My manual references Optimal Income Stop, but it doesn't say what happens when it's selected. As I have no intention of receiving income from the panels, ideally I want to charge the batteries between 18:00 to 20:00 but I seem to be creating a conflict when I do this. I would be really grateful if you could suggest some settings that I could start off with Thanks in anticipation Very best regards Gerry

Great video and I discovered a feature I didn't know about. I would like to know if it is possible to set this solis to work even in the absence of electricity. Thank you

Hi Peter Sorry to bother you with trivia. Based on some of your past suggestions I've embarked on upgrading all of my fuse panels and circuit breakers. The inverter was connected to a 25A differential. It has now been renewed (I know what you are going to say "it's only doing it's job" ) but the rcd keeps tripping in the evening when there is no apparent load, only battery replenish time. Should this be an rcd or a normal circuit breaker. When I look at the alarm messages it's littered with 'no grid' messages. Before the new rcd it didn't trip and managed to recover but now the tripped inverter depletes the battery. This morning whilst I'm recharging the battery, with the grid off, the panels recharge the battery nicely and soon as I reconnect the grid the direction of flow changes from recharging the battery to discharging by 1.2kw. with panels generating 2.8kw and a load of 1kw, even with no load the battery is being discharge at a rate of 1.2kw. There is no discharge time set, but it seems hell bent on discharging the battery Is there an overall flowchart to help me understand what is happening? Any ideas please

Hi Peter, With this setting set to 3600W as you show in the video will the inverter still be able to supply more than 3.6KW to the house when required?
