Hello everyone,
I have been using a 6kw array with a Solis single phase inverter since June 22. (Solis RHI-6K-48ES-5G).
There was an issue with the installation whereby the batteries would not charge, 3 * Pure drive (II) 5kwH batteries.
Turns out the inverter was at fault, the inverter was replaced on Monday with a new Solis S5-EH1-P6K-L.
The batteries are configured as "self use" with "grid charging" disabled.
I've noticed that when the batteries are connected, and able to charge from the solar panels, the incoming solar energy drops by around half, i.e. if the incoming panels were registering 3.0kw on the app, when the batteries are connected, this value drops to around 1.5kw (repeatable and fairly linear), has anyone else had this experience, thought it may be the incoming DC feeding directly to the batteries, however I'd have thought the incoming value would have stayed at 3.0kw, and have shown some of that energy going to the batteries.
The energy for the day reports as this much lower value (i.e. 4kw rather than 8kw)
Thanks.
