Just found that setting, I'll have a play and watch a few videos. Thank you!

Hi everyone, Does anyone know if you can alter settings for Solis hybrid solar inverter chargers through it's web page, or only from the unit itself? The reason I ask is my parents have got a Solis 3102/RHI (not entirely sure on the part number) and a lifepo4 battery. Their electricity tariff...
