  1. Hi all, considering getting one of these. I saw in an older thread that in Home Assistant there is no way to set the depth of discharge. Is that still the case or is there a workaround using MQTT or something? I coming from a Goodwe 4.6kW so if anyone has experience with the Solis and Goodwe and can highlight any potential deal breakers I would appreciate it

  2. UPDATE 2023/12/02: The following is easier to implement, and much less overhead and setup: https://github.com/Pho3niX90/solis_modbus This comes mainly from the following repo: https://github.com/fboundy/ha_solis_modbus There are a couple helpers there, which also writes to the inverter to change workmode, you could also easily change SOC with some automations etc. CONS: The datalogger will no longer report to the cloud, but support will still be able to assist with firmware upgrades, and remotely change settings PROS: Faster comms and data retrieval (configurable). There will be no more need to use the solis app, except for …

    Hi all. My first post here. I have been reading here for a bundle of months. Want to buy an inverter that can feed excess solar to the grid ie items not on the essential bus. I know sunsync / deye and the s6 solis can but then I came across this guy which seems to do exactly that and at a decent price. Anybody have one of these you can share your experience with? https://powerforum-store.co.za/collections/inverters/products/solis-energy-storage-6kw-hybrid-5g-inverter-with-dc-switch

  5. I'd like to know whether it is possible to integrate a Solis PV inverter (S5-GC25K for example) with an existing Sunsynk system (2 x 12kW 3ph inverters in parallel, 3 x 10kWh Sunsynk batteries)?

    Hi I want to ask about the connections when connecting 2x inverters and 2x batteries together please. On the AC Side: I believe there should only be a single set of breakers for both inverters? On the DC Battery Side: A single dc dis-connector connected to both batteries and inverters. Or should each inverter have its own dc dis-connector? BMS Cable: Is this correct as per wiring diagram? PV: Feeding to one inverter at this stage. (If ever required, I will add pv to the other inverter.) BUT WILL THE PV PANELS CHARGE BOTH BATTERIES? DC Battery Cables: Will 50mm do or do I need higher? AC Cables: 10mm or 16mm? Distance is about 2m from DB and…

  7. Hi guys Is it possible to use this inverter just as a grid tied inverter? No battery. Thanks

    Hi guys, I have a grid feed and back up feed Grid has nonessential curcuits Back up has essential But in reading about the Gen port being able to be used as a smart port that can be disabled by battery soc. I'm interested in moving non essential to this smart port, as currently it's able to drain my battery with the nonessential loads. The battery reserve function seems to control both non essential and back up feeds so hence liking at the smart port solution... Do I need to run a 3rd cable to dB from the Gen port or can I just transfer the "grid" connection across to the Gen connection?

    Hi Can the solis hybrid s6 pro only supply to the none essential load or do i need to connect the essential loads as well? I will not be using a battery for now as this is only for getting my electrical bill down. Regards Peet
