  • Post in thread: Current charging and discharging amp value setting

    Thank you both. It's all new so reassuring comments help. I will raise a Solis support ticket to see what they say. I'll do that before I change the AMPs from 80 to 50 and see what happens. Thanks again

    Indeed you have. I ask Bing AI for recommended AMPS rate and this is what was said: Thank you for providing more information about your battery. According to the web search results, the RHI-3.6K-48ES-5G battery is a hybrid energy storage inverter with an integrated DC switch, compatible with...

    Thanks for your comments. I don't really understand everything so please bear with me! I have noticed that when battery gets charged 100% it starts exporting to grid. Is it supposed to do this? Shouldn't it leave the battery charged up and from PV go to home and grid. Not sure why it discharges...

    Here is example of import and below is example of export
  • Post in thread: Current charging and discharging amp value setting

    OK, so I raised a Solis ticket and based it on this: My Q&A: The RED line is battery discharge??? Ans: No that is the battery SOC which is percentage of battery. but it is actually purple not a red. Why does it show negative ie -207.06w?? Is this right? Ans: That negative sign means...

    Thx SeaGal for your comments. I will try 50A rather than 80A and see if that makes any difference. I have one more question related to what you wrote: "will probably only get a maximum draw from battery alone of around 2700 - 2800W from the Solis, which will be around 55A, irrespective of the...

    Indeed. But I was the fool for mixing inverter and battery in reality. Its my own Doh! moment.
  • Post in thread: Current charging and discharging amp value setting

    When the battery is charged 100% then the surplus energy is used by the house and also exported to the grid Then there are occasions when the battery is being discharged and is exported to the grid. This occurs even though no discharge time window has been set. Why does the battery discharge...

    Thanks MisterSandals for your quick response. OK, so I need to work out how much kw usage I use over a week or more to come up with an average. Is this right? I'm a total rookie.
  • Post in thread: Current charging and discharging amp value setting

    Interesting, BryceFreeman, the charging/discharging current is set to 80A. So, this would seem quite high. I understand charge SOC and force charge percentages and what they are for but really don't get this charge/discharge Amp thing. Should I change the 80A to 10A and see what happens? Don't...
  • Post in thread: Current charging and discharging amp value setting

    Right, I will monitor daily usage over a period of weeks and then that will give me an idea of the peak usages. I should ensure the battery capacity is big enough to cater for the majority of the high peaks. At the moment, I notice that the 4.8kWh battery does export to the grid which can mean...

    The above was showing the BMS set up. I have inserted the Inverter tab below: The amps etc were set via the Solis menus. The inverter and BMS tabs are from the app. Do I need admin access to the inverter to change inverter settings from the Soliscloud site?
  • Post in thread: Current charging and discharging amp value setting

    Yes, this is the battery from Phylontech and battery is US5000. So, setup from BMS is At 23:28 on 13th Nov 2023 Hoping this setup is correct!
  • Post in thread: Current charging and discharging amp value setting

    I have Solis 3kW inverter with Battery Phylontech 4.8kWh Phylon US5000 4.8kWh Li-ion solar battery 48v With I think 100A discharge capability. The current charge and discharge current setting for both are 80A. Charge SOC 20% Force discharge 15% What is ideal charge/discharge current setting...
  • Post in thread: Why does battery import from grid?

    Question is why is Solis inverter importing energy from the grid when the battery is 77% full? Normal charge time is between 00:00 and 4:00am Over Discharge is: 20% Force charge is: 15% Battery is 4.8kWh Phylontech Phylon US5000 Solis inverter 3kW SOL-3K-RHI-4BES-%G-DC hybrid 5G inverter
