  • Post in thread: Acrel 10R not connected to solis AC coupled inverter

    My similar setup was installed by an electrician so I'm not sure about any settings needed, but this info might help.. My Acrel meter, with the CT installed on the incoming supply from the grid (on the live conductor only). The Run light flashes green and the Com light flashes red. It agrees...
  • Post in thread: Problems with SolisCloud app and website

    I got this message from Solis support today... " I have escalated the issue to concern team. After multiple customers feedback we came to an conclusion that there is some logic issue , soon they will resolve it."

    A further update on 6 January: "this problem has been optimized. It is currently in the scheduling test and is expected to be released by the end of February."
  • Post in thread: Acrel 10R not connected to solis AC coupled inverter

    RS485 describes how the devices communicate with each other (communications protocol). RJ45 is just the type of plug on the end of the wire at the Acrel meter end. I can look at the pinouts in my Acrel meter cable if you are stuck, but it will be a few days before I have an opportunity. I have...
  • Post in thread: Solis inverter charging battery from the mains

    Are you referring to the SolisCloud app? It doesn't work well for me at all. The overview diagram only shows power to/from battery, it doesn't show PV yield or grid import/export, although the inverter is picking up this info from the meters and I can see it in the front panel window. As a...
  • Post in thread: Solis inverter charging battery from the mains

    I have a Solis RAI-3K-48ES-5G inverter connected to four Dyness 2.4kWH batteries. Also 9 PV panels connected to a Solaredge SE3000H grid connected inverter. The Solis inverter is set in Self Use mode, so that it charges the batteries when there is sunlight and the PV panels are producing power...
  • Post in thread: Dyness app: making it talk to B4850 batteries

    I sent this question to Dyness and got this answer... Sorry Dyness Smart app not works for B4850 battery modules And the APP suitable for Dyness BX51100, Powerbox Pro,B51100 battery. Disappointing but at least I know now.
  • Post in thread: Problems with SolisCloud app and website

    Good that it works for you. To be fair to Solis support, they have been working on it today. Here's a screenshot from 1624 today (after dark, so PV output has to be zero) Unfortunately it always shows Today Yield as zero, even when the sun is shining and the PV is charging the battery. Still...
  • Post in thread: Solis inverter charging battery from the mains

    Thanks, that sounds plausible. Can you tell me the name that Solis use for the "low charge" level, and where I find it in the config menus?
  • Post in thread: Solis inverter charging battery from the mains

    An update on my last posts: I noticed from the SolarCloud app that the battery was charging every 3-4 hours overnight from the mains, for about 5minutes each time. There were about 6 of these events per day. Overdischg SOC and ForceChgSOC were both set to 20%, so the battery could discharge to...
  • Post in thread: HYD-EP Sofar inverter with Seplos bms

    Can you say why you wanted to replace your Solis inverter please? And what model was it? I have a Solis RAI-3K-48E-5G linked to a battery, and I am not happy with it, because of its high power consumption. It uses (and doesn't give back) 1.68kWh per day (equivalent to a constant load of 70W)...
  • Post in thread: Solis inverter charging battery from the mains

    Reply to Billybong's post: Your problem may be different from mine, as my battery only goes down slowly when below the Overdischg SOC level. (I can't see if it is supplying any power at this point, the inverter is not reporting that it is drawing any). Two possibilities come to mind (assuming...
  • Post in thread: Dyness app: making it talk to B4850 batteries

    I have four Dyness B4850 batteries. I see that there is a 'Dyness Smart' smartphone app, and I assume that I should be able to monitor the batteries using it. When you first run the app you get the opportunity to link it to the batteries. I have tried following the instructions but without...

    I have just posted "Solis UK contact info" in the Product Manuals forum. Not quite appropriate but it seemed like the best place.
  • Post in thread: Problems with SolisCloud app and website

    I have a Solis RAI-3k-48ES-5G inverter connected to batteries and a separate PV panel inverter (Solar Edge). I am trying to monitor the power flows around the Solis inverter using the SolisCloud app and/or the SolisCloud website. (They both show the same data). Problems are: - Power flow...
