If you are in self use mode, yes, the battery will always charge to 100%. In back up mode you can set it to stop charging at a different value.

Probably the simplest way to achieve this is to buy a switch with PoE ports that is powered by a wallwart and power it from the battery using a suitable DC-DC converter.

Be careful with Ubiquity, they use 24v for POE to make you use their adapotors with their kit.

Ah the Asimov fan is back (i'm assuming that's who your avatar is). Hello, I'd like to ask you if you have confirmed that your inverter will operate on only AC by disconnecting any DC supply because I would like that to be the case, it is what the commissioning procedure states should be the...

My first question to that is how do you know. Do you have independent calibrated instruments measuring all the parameters. I doubt Solis intended the readings to be any other than an indication, I would think +/-10%. Indeed there is a lengthy discussion that reveals at least one parameter is off...

I'm familiar with that reference, my comment was a reply to user pm2000 on that thread. Do you not find it remarkable that he and I have the same inverter and he insists that his will run on only grid AC and yet mine will not? Further, the commissioning procedure supports his assertion. Is my...

Tadaa, overlooked this earlier while trawling through this thread looking for solutions. Set a 100W feed as described above yesterday and the system woke up with the light this morning, happy days. I'm still concerned about the jagged power output but at least it's harvesting the power and...

Setting the Backup Supply to disable does exactly what it says, it turns off the back supply. In the event of a grid failure everything goes off and as all my loads are on the backup port this does not work for me.

It would seem there are many undocumented features for these inverters. I have a Solis S5-EH1P6K-L Hybrid Inverter, Model 3105, Firmware 3D0037. No PV + No battery = Dead inverter. It can obviously convert AC grid to DC otherwise it could not charge the battery (which it definitely can). I am...

Can confirm displays are now sensible again although I'd take the values it reports as indication rather than an accurate measurement.

Just for clarity I did not have a problem with it using the battery, I was looking where to change a setting and I finally did find it. So your problem may be that you do not have the correct storage mode selected. There are 4 possible storage modes in Advanced Settings/Storage Mode Select. One...

I am concerned that this new inverter is faulty and I'd like to ask for thoughts before I take it up with the supplier It appears to operate intermittently and often won't wake up in the morning until a load is switched on. I have 1800w of panels facing due south at 53 degrees tilt and a Pylon...

I have the same inverter as you but I don't recall seeing a "battery reserve" setting just SOC and Force charge. Could you describe where to find it.

Although the firmware will allow you to do this I don't think the device is intended to operate in both modes simultaneously. In Backup mode it uses PV when present and Grid if it is not, to charge your battery. It will not discharge the battery unless the grid is lost and then it will only...

It's been many years since I've had to deal with real power/reactive power and I couldn't begin to explain it now but you might find this informative https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/accircuits/reactive-power.html

Fixing hardware errors by tweaking software is not an optimal solution. Consider that at sometime in the future your inverter software is reset due to a fault or upgrade. Hey presto, your import/export readings are all wrong again. You could stick a notice to the inverter advising that it has...

Have you tried tripping the grid off. I just did and all the backup loads went off.

It's not just graphical. I really do not have Backup A/C power. Just now, to demonstrate another 'quirk' of the inverter to a colleague, I tripped the grid CB and everything went off !!!! On the plus side the quirk I was demonstrating went away. That was the inverter only drawing from the PV...

Hi, as a new user I am not familiar with what 'normal' operation looks like but I am concerned about the inverter continuing to draw power from the battery after it has hit the 20% SOC limit. The inverter is a Solis S5-EH1P6K-L (which is pretty much the same as the RHI6K-S5). The inverter is set...

I have the same issue as of a few days ago, all my loads are backup side but not showing correctly on the graphic, the figures are about right. though

I could not agree more with the statement that the app and solis cloud are not fit for use for live monitoring, might be ok for historical stuff, I'm too new to tell. As well as the aforementoined nonsense readings following a recent update by solis I have no backup loads everything is grid side...

The RHI and EHI models are pretty much the same apart from some electrical specifications and the supplied grid meter.

I've found it. It's under 'Backup Mode' of operation which I used intially to get the battery charged as I had a spell of several days of overcast weather when I commisioned the system.

I've just finished installing a small solar power system into our person cave it's a Solis S5-EH1P6K-L Hybrid Inverter, 4.8Kw Pylon battery and 1.85Kw of solar array. It has taken some time to get my head round the inverter, it's software and Solis Cloud. Just now I thought I'd reduce the max...
