Hi
First post on here but have tried looking for the answer, so apologies if covered elsewhere.
Just had my SOLIS Inverter connected today. The Installer didn't really have much experience of SOLIS so walked away this afternoon thinking everything was working OK. I have been monitoring all afternoon and I thought all was OK, until the dinner was being cooked and I saw my main Grid meter spinning (previously it was stationary).
It would appear that the demand for AC on the GRID side, is not coming from the battery and is being drawn from the GRID, once the sun goes down. When there is enough PV power, earlier in the say, then the AC supply is being fed from the Inverter, sourced from the PV.
This is a 6kW Inverter so would expect the cooker hob to be sourced from the inverter.
I was also expecting any overnight demand to come from the battery.
Mode is set to Self Use. What else am I missing to get the Batteries and Inverter to draw from the battery when the PV is insufficient?
What's strange is that the CRITICAL AC Feed from the Inverter is powering my CRITICAL circuits which are on a different Consumer Unit/board, from the battery OK.
Thanks
Rob
