And the owner has full control of the inverter not the installer the owner has to give the installer permission to make changes. There are Installer level function that is limited but majority of the important functions are all available for the end user. Also the installer can not switch your inverter off or block it remotely! Neither can Solis Unless you report it Stolen.. Out-the-box remote control capability has now been given to the installer, no longer requires owner permissions. A disclaimer just needs to be agreed to get into the settings. The owner also gets out-the-box limited remote control access. Edited August 18, 20232 yr by Charles - Solis

When using the Bluetooth antenna the system has a ±20M connection distance which would allow most users to access their inverter easily from most places in the house. The app also reconnects automatically when you get back in BT range as long as it wasn't closed.

Installation was just a direct change of the inverter so same panels and batteries as with the Sunsynk. No noise anymore the Solis is silent. Big Plus point.. BMS config worked immediately no gymnastics required with the Hubble AM2 batteries SOC Voltages and SOH visible on the app. Added Features like String Arch detection makes for early warning if there are problems on your strings. App is in real-time on your phone Web app updates between 1 to 5 mins max. Tons of adjustment available under settings.. Additionally the inverter is more robust have not managed to trip it yet..in contrast the other one tripped easily with the same combination of loads. So far very happy with it. Adding a second one in parallel soon with seperate battery bank ... Magneto Super Cap.. and a wind turbine AC Coupled.. Will update as things progress. Since the Solis worked with the Hubble AM2 (which is not on the compatible battery list), I assume there is a lot more batteries that will work, like the Cyclone C5 (Solarway Suppliers) or even the Magneto batteries? Will be excellent to see Solis Inverters work with Solar Assistant (been using it for about 2 years now). Love the fact that they are quieter than the Deye/Sunsynk. My Growatt is a bit on the noisy side when the second fan starts up (measured 30dba next to it with the one fan running, but kicking up to 60-65dba when the other fan starts up) Edited August 18, 20232 yr by johanpre
August 19, 20232 yr The Hubble batteries compatibility is complete and have now been added to the Solis inverter compatibility list. We are just waiting for the list to be updated but they can safely be used. 👍

Solis will also not be able to support the combination. Solis are in the process of facilitating compatibility testing for a number of different battery brands and they will be added to the list as soon as the testing is complete and certified.

Why do we speak of incompatible batteries, should we rather be speaking of incompatible BMS's? The battery cells are dumb, the BMS is what does the talking. I would expect that if the HUBBLE uses a PACE BMS, then any battery that uses a PACE BMS will work provided the BMS is loaded with the same protocols ? Edited August 19, 20232 yr by FixAMess

Perhaps because we buy a battery by make and model and don't know what is inside and cannot check what BMS before we buy.

August 19, 20232 yr I'd rather they agree on a standard communication protocol so that comparability isn't a guessing game
August 19, 20232 yr Solis inverters are underrated in South Africa. Whatever our neighbours buy we think is the best, hence other brands flourish here. In Australia Solis is the most sought-after inverter. I had a Solis grid-tie inverter and sold that to a friend and years later are happy with that. I replaced that with a Solis hybrid 5G inverter and works perfectly. The transformerless design helps with longitivity and the many added safety features gives peace of mind. Check the specs, this S6 solves all the markets needs. Edited August 19, 20232 yr by Pieter Lourens

I am sure if more people were exposed to Solis they will know what you mean. They just keep on going as designed.

This is very disappointing. Fork out over R20k on an inverter and you lose your warranty if you use a battery which is not on the approved list... Well, you say warranty is compromised - so what does that mean exactly? I am curious, why does this affect the warranty and that in term means if one goes the DIY battery route, warranty is void? Regardless, I'd still love 2 of these Solis S6 inverters
August 20, 20232 yr Hi @Charles - Solis Great that you are on this forum. I wanted to ask about the DIY battery, would it not be a good idea to say. We will support these DIY BMS's in this configuration. So example Daly or Seplos or JK etc. I also wanted to ask does Solis have a "preferred" battery brand, that maybe they could tie up with. I think this inverter is going to do very well in the SA market as long as the pricing is good. Edited August 20, 20232 yr by Greglsh
