Solis RHI-3K-48ES-5G Battery Charge / discharge modes
Right now this one is driving me nuts,
I want this inverter to work in self use mode but in a particular way.
1. When PV is producing to first feed home load, then charge battery, then any extra back to the grid. Ok this bit I have working sort of. If I DON'T set a charge time.
This does work apart from the fact if the PV is not producing it will then discharge the battery, this I don't want it to do yet, especially in the winter when its slow to charge the battery at the best of times.
2. Discharge battery at night only and NOT charge from the grid.
Again this works mostly if I set a discharge time.
But now here is the problem, I want it to work so that I maximize PV use in the home, to charge the battery and only send to grid if extra produced between say 6am and 7pm.
Then from 7pm until 6am I want it to use a set load amount say 500w discharge until battery is depleted to set SOC.
I have been on to Solis support which to be fair have been helpful in the most part, having upgraded my inverter to Version 470044-010000 which has got some more settings and seems more stable, but still the working more is not what I was expecting.
Has anyone got any suggestions or point me at a thread that may already answer this.
My thinking is if this can't be done as a standard setting then maybe a 3rd party control option is needed.
Thanks
Chris
