    Solis RHI 5kw + Pylontech US500 not stopping discharge at defined SOC

    Asimov fan is back Not touching any cables no more ! However, as mentioned, when the battery goes back up to 20% from 17% the battery goes to 0W consumption , as reported by the Dyness external device, and the Solis inverter also reports that. Whatever that means it means. That must mean the...

    Solis RHI 5kw + Pylontech US500 not stopping discharge at defined SOC

    When the battery reaches down 20%, it does indeed use DC down to 17%, then goes back up to 20% and *stops* draining from it. This is what the Dyness separate app AND the Solis app tells me. Are both lying? When the battery reaches 100%, it does use DC down to 98% and then gets recharged up to 100%.

    Not insisting. I am only saying what I am seeing reported by the Solis and the *Dyness Battery*. During the summer there's always charge anyways, months since I have seen the 20% and 0W consumption.

    an agent over the phone did apply it remotely Ring Solis UK, tell them that your inverter reads cuadruple the wats when feeding the inverter with DC and under the SoC. If the product is meant to be on 15-20W standby why does it read almost 70W? I have a dongle for my batteries and they were...

    Solis RHI 5kw + Pylontech US500 not stopping discharge at defined SOC

    I had your same problem when I had 3D0037 and after upped to A10037 the watts displayed were spot on, i.e. 19W, 24W or 29W tops.

    That’s the model I have and the firmware I had. Ring Solis and ask the. To upgrade you to A10037 firmware like I got . You’ll get corrected drawn wattage figures , not much, but is fixed.

    Solis should do a better job with all this, INSTEAD OF having users scrambling in forums to get things to work the way they want (and the way they are meant to work).

    I think this inverter prefers DC but it can still manage with AC only by converting to DC. Defo the documentation doesn’t say anything about it but this is what I can assume as it stays on as you can see on the pics.

    Solis RHI 5kw + Pylontech US500 not stopping discharge at defined SOC

    I get you guys... but something else must be happening because I get 0W usage reported by Battery monitoring, 0W usage reported by Solis App and the inverter is working overnight without problem. Proof on the pics I've uploaded. I have Solis S5-EH1P6K-L with firmware A10037 (3D0037 behaves the...

    Solis RHI 5kw + Pylontech US500 not stopping discharge at defined SOC

    Well, tell me then where is the Solis getting its DC energy to run at 4AM in the morning and the battery in standby and saying there is 0W consumed, the Solis app and the Dyness app... because the only place it can get it from is AC conversion to DC and then usage... and the solis inverter was...

    Solis RHI 5kw + Pylontech US500 not stopping discharge at defined SOC

    If I physically unplug my battery to the inverter , it does stay up even if is overnight without PV. It is physically impossible for the inverter to stay up and ON unless the inverter does convert AC to DC to feed itself when DC is not available, as @Hiedi pointed above metering the AC...

    Solis RHI 5kw + Pylontech US500 not stopping discharge at defined SOC

    Is just the battery drains 0W to house and inverter , solis app would put that icon in grey and that is battery standby mode. Right now the only way I have been able to see it triggered is after a backup reserve mode charge, as on my 2 tests above. Also, if disabling the charging from grid (not...

    Solis RHI 5kw + Pylontech US500 not stopping discharge at defined SOC

    On the DC charge... the inverter does indeed use DC for its own consumption however, if the battery is in standby or off or not available the inverter will do convert AC to DC and then consume it after. Doesn't necessarily need to come up from the battery. See as my test yesterday: First is...

    Solis RHI 5kw + Pylontech US500 not stopping discharge at defined SOC

    But, do you manage to see it on standby (grey icon 0W for battery at 15% remaining battery) or does it trickle down some Wats with the battery icon in purple until it reaches forcecharge and same again? That’s the key I think. If your settings don’t get the battery to standby I think my...

    Solis RHI 5kw + Pylontech US500 not stopping discharge at defined SOC

    Solis wouldn’t turn off, just battery would go to standby and icon to grey at a lower DOD (i.e. if you setup DOD 80%, battery should stop discharging at all with 20% remaining battery and standby … next morning it should charge. Have you tested something like that with your custom battery...
