I havent bought anything yet as I wanted to get info on this first before spending the money

Hi I have 2x of above mentioned inverters that will be installed within the next two weeks. I want to find out about Wind Turbines on these. Reputable china manufacturer has two options that I am considering: 1) 2KW vertical turbines which has a nominal voltage in the range of 60V. This would require their Solar charge connector and this would then directly connect straight to the battery bank. Now the inverters is connected to 3x Hubble AM5 batteries which has bms communication. If the turbine controller connects directly to the battery will this not affect the battery voltage between charging from inverter/solar vs turbine as there is now 2 sources of charging? 2) Alternatively there is a 3kw turbine which has a nominal voltage of +-250V. Now this would mean I can connect it directly to the MPPT as it would be within range of accepted voltage, but I read something about phase/frequency shifting in the inverter firmware that is required, and I also dont know if it has been implemented yet and even if it would be possible. Anyone has some info regarding this?

Supplier said the 555W and 575W are best priced vs wattage. The 555W passes the Voc and Isc. Its the 575W that is out by 0.08A on the Isc side. Roof can fit 10x panels on the one side, and I'm not sure if I will get more panels in the future. So its 5550W or 5750W for the panels...

No, The Short Circuit current of the panels exceed the inverters rating by 0.08A. Can I just ignore the 100mA? What about cloudy and cold days with regards to the current?

I have a Solis S6 6KW, where the inverter states Max PV Isc = 16A and MPPT Range is 90V-520V with a max dc of 600V. The solar panels TSM-DE19R 575W are rated (STC) Isc = 16.08A and VOC= 45.7V. I want to install 10x panels, maybe 11 if it will fit my roof. So voltage is good, but the current is a little bit concerning. Any thoughts please?

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 inverter. Idea is to pay for as little as possible electricity. So no charging from AC is allowed. Will probably have 3x or maybe 4x batteries with initial install. Consumption is about 15-20KWH a day.

Good thread on Solis S6 Inverters, wish there was more... I want to ask about the setup: 1) Does installer mode offer more options to change the inverter configurations than regular user? 2) To apply for an installer account through Solis, what is required? 3) If the Solis is setup to work in OFF GRID mode, what would happen if you don't install the CT?

@AlexTZA Maybe you can assist if you know, is it possible to setup the inverter for zero export to grid? If there is a prepaid meter installed and as such one shouldn't feed power back into the grid.

Maybe I am a bit stupid, but if there is a 5kw load and the inverter is pulling 10kw from the grid then you are paying double in units. Where is the extra 5KW going to?

Hi The new inverters: SOL-S6-EH1P8K-L-PRO So I have a prepaid meter, meaning I cannot feed power back into the grid. Can I use this inverter and set it up not to feed back into the grid? https://portal.segensolar.co.za/reseller/docs/Solis_datasheet_S6-EH1P8K-L-PRO_ZAF-2023-05.pdf

Unfortunately I dont have all the answers. Turn off the main incoming power to your inverter, disconnect the battery/turn it off and turn off all power between solar and the inverter. Then with a multimeter in Ohms/continuity mode you can test between the EARTH and NEUTRAL at the inverter output side. if the reading is zero then the inverter has internal Neutral/Earth bonding which is correct. Is the Earth leakage connected before or after your inverter? Only reason I can think of why the outside Fuse is tripping and not your breakers is because fuses trip way faster than breakers, meaning your breaker is still deciding whether or not it should trip and then the outside fuse has already tripped.

Anyone installed this one yet? Also concerned about the fan noise levels. Did a Kodak 10KW and that one is quite loud, so looking for a more quieter inverter. On another topic, how would you guys say this inverter compares to Sunsynk?
