Operating Modes on Solis Hybrid Inverter

Yes for LRA, but the DC power supply capacitors don't get powered until the contactor is engaged by the thermostat, that has its own surge charging the DC power rail for the inverter for a few 60 hz cycles.
Oops, Yes that makes sense.
Thanks, it shouldn't be a problem, heapump is rated with 5A max i think. It also has gradual startup mode to avoid exactly what you're talking about. But yeah, I may just keep inverter plugged into the grid all the time and use timers.

You will need to enable export power limitation feature and set the export power level to 0W.
Note, however, that will not _totally_ prevent any export - a brief export of power will happen due to the time it takes the inverter to reduced its output when a house load is switched off.
Good afternoon
I can't charge my batteries in "self user" on Solis inverter S5(5Kw) with a DIY LifePo4 S16 105Ah Battery with Daly BMS.
The Battery on Solis are configured as "Lead Acid Battery", and charges me from the GRID with the "Self User", even with settings "STOP" and "Not Allow charging from Grid".
I can't understand how to configure this crazy inverter. It seems that any configuration does something different.
I'm already tired of breaking my head.
I'm waiting for my new Seplos 100A BMS to connect via CANBUS to see if I can solve this problem once and for all.
The only way to charge the batteries so far, is setup the inverter in mode "BUCKUP", but then I have to put it in "Self User" overnight to discharge the batteries on the gridit. Doesn't make any sense.
The mode "Self User" does not do the proper functions. 1-Solar, 2-Batteries and 3-Grid
Anyone using a Diy LifePO4 16s 100A battery and this inverter can help me?
Thanks

You have not set a charge time and only have set charge rate at 4A.
See this guide, explains it well

Solis Hybrid Inverter: charging from the grid
How to configure your Solis Hybrid Inverter to charge from the grid on schedule.
blog.jonsdocs.org.uk
Sometimes consumption appears in house, other times it doesn't.
But it is not the consumption, it is limited in the inverter to not injecting into the grid
As I say Damn inverter.........

I don't have CANBus connection.
Solis configured as Lead acid, but BMS daly manages battery charges Diy LifePO4 S16 100A.

Basically and sorry for my drawing that looks like it was made by my son.
The meter is a sdm120ct and it is ok. I can confirm with Shelly EM that I also have installed on the grid
the difference in the meter is the is from (system 2) that is producing what the house is consuming.

The schematic looks correct
On the photo, your SDM120 displays 0.0W which would be unusual for a house
> Sometimes consumption appears in house, other times it doesn't.
What does this mean?
I see you have microinverters. This is similar to my situation: I have a Solis S5 and a Fronius inverter with panels on another roof.
One little detail about Solis that is not mentioned in the manual is this:
- If you set maximum export power in Solis to "X" Watts
- If your microinverter installation (or my Fronius) produces a lot more than "X", the house uses little power, as a result more than "X" watts are exported to the grid even if the Solis produces nothing
- Solis detects this, thinks it's an anomaly, and shuts down. But it doesn't say it is shut down! It just stops working.
Solution is to set "Max export power" to more than what your microinverters can produce.

Thank you very much for all the help.
Today I got back from Solís and installed a BMS Seplos V3 and realized that the CT was messing everything up.
If you live in one direction, the CT already charges the battery and if you reverse the direction, it stops charging and consumption remains at 0w.
But just change the phase with the neutral in the CT connection and I'll get crazy values.
Any tips or manual for the correct configuration direction.
Regards
