February 29, 20242 yr Hi Powerforum 5kWh system installed yesterday… excited to join the solar club. A quick newbie question: I have a 5kWh Synapse Ultra Hybrid inverter, which comes with the SolisCloud app for control. I find the documentation and manual a bit … let’s say insufficient for noobs. Having trouble to make sense of the “Powerflow” graphic, especially the meaning of “Grid Load” and “ Backup Load” (“Grid”, “Battery” and “PV” are fairly self-explanatory). If there is an arrow flowing from inverter to “Grid” does this mean that I’m feeding electricity back to Eskom? And if so, why am I feeding 0.2 kW into the grid at night? And how can my grid load be 0, at any one time? Confused. Anyone with the same inverter and app? Cheers Robert
February 29, 20242 yr If looks like a re-branded version of the Solis S6 hybrid inverter. I'd suggest searching this forum for some discussions and reviews under that name. Or try the Solis manual. My take, you need to understand thd diffrrdnce between permanently backed up essential loads, versus non-essential loads that only operate when the grid is on. The grid can likely be zero during loadshedding.
