Good day,

I would love to know whether anyone has a working system with something like the "Solis S6 Pro 6kW Advanced Hybrid" inverters and "Revov R100" batteries. Reason for asking is that I would like upgrade my inverters without necessarily replacing my batteries.

Kind regards,

Heine

Good day, Heine!

It’s a great idea to upgrade your inverters without having to replace your batteries. The Solis S6 Pro 6kW Advanced Hybrid inverter is a popular choice due to its hybrid capabilities, meaning it can work with both solar power generation and battery storage, making it a solid option for managing energy more efficiently.

Regarding the compatibility with your Revov R100 batteries, here are a few points to consider:

1. Inverter-Battery Compatibility:

• Solis S6 Pro 6kW Hybrid Inverter is a modern hybrid inverter that supports both grid-tied and off-grid operation. It’s designed to work with a variety of lithium-ion battery types.

• Revov R100 Batteries are lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries, which are widely used in solar applications due to their safety, longevity, and performance.

• While Solis inverters are generally compatible with a wide range of lithium batteries, the key compatibility factors are the voltage and communication protocol (such as Modbus or CAN bus).

  • The Revov R100 batteries likely operate at a nominal voltage of 48V (which is common in residential setups).

  • The Solis S6 Pro inverter typically supports 48V systems, so they should work together in terms of voltage.

2. Battery Communication:

• The Solis hybrid inverters rely on a communication protocol to properly manage charging and discharging cycles, as well as optimize system performance.

• Some batteries, including Revov, may have specific communication requirements or protocols (e.g., Modbus or CAN bus).

• You’ll need to confirm with both Solis and Revov whether their systems use the same communication protocol, or if an additional battery gateway or communication module is needed to facilitate integration.

3. Battery Charging & Management:

• When upgrading your inverter, check the charge profile compatibility to ensure the inverter is able to charge the Revov R100 batteries effectively and safely. Most inverters allow adjustments in charge settings, but it’s important to match the battery charging parameters (voltage, current, etc.) to ensure longevity and efficiency.

4. Possible Limitations or Concerns:

• Firmware and Software: Some hybrid inverters require specific firmware updates or configurations to work seamlessly with certain battery brands. It’s a good idea to contact Solis to ensure that there are no firmware updates or adjustments needed for compatibility with Revov batteries.

• Manufacturer Support: It’s always helpful to check with Revov and Solis directly or through your supplier to ensure they have prior experience with this combination.

5. System Performance:

• Once installed, you should monitor the system to ensure both the inverter and battery are functioning well together. Make sure that the charging cycles and battery discharge levels are operating within safe limits to prevent overcharging or excessive discharging of the Revov R100 batteries.

Conclusion:

Based on the specs, Solis S6 Pro 6kW Hybrid Inverter and Revov R100 batteries should be compatible, but verifying the communication protocol and charge settings is key to ensuring smooth integration. If needed, you may also have to use a battery communication gateway to bridge any communication gaps.

It would be great if others with similar setups could share their experiences as well! Have you reached out to Solis or Revov for any insights on this specific combo?

Good day, haudevbe.

Thank you for a very comprehensive reply and some very good suggestions. I really appreciate it. As you mentioned, I am hoping that someone has already managed to make this combination work whom could share some insights.

Kind regards,

Heine

Revov only claim compatibility with Sunsynk and Victron. Anything else you are going to have to apply settings on your inverter and can't expect to have a comms cable between inverter and BMS.
