Solis Inverter .. Increase update frequency possible ?

v10 · 07-09-2021 11:27am #1

Hi all, I notice on soliscloud.com that it gets updates from my datalogger every 5 minutes. Is it possible to increase this frequency to 1 minute for example ?

Not by yourself but if you email them they might do it for you.

I emailed them on this last month asking could they do it every minute and got a one word answer in the reply from their support - no. ☹️

Well I guess that’s that then, probably trying to minimise loads on their servers but it’d be handy sometimes to get a current reading rather than one a few minutes old.

Wasn't for me 😉

But I also got an email from then saying to stop emailing them, probably sick of me and finally gave in haha

Hi

My 6kWp system just went live today 🤘 and I have a Solis S5 6kW inverter and I want to get my data online. I see there is an RJ45 connection on it, can I just plug this into my LAN and get connected to the cloud and send my data. From the bit of reading of the manuals and the interweb it seems to be the wireless data logger they use for this not a direct LAN connection.

Thanks

Yeah I'd not trust any RJ45 connections. Check the manual to be sure

Hmm no such ports on my inverter are you sure that's not either the meter/battery canbus port?

They have a stupid 4 pin round proprietary connection for their loggers and you can't get live them from them unless you jerry-rig that port to your own modbus adapter

Yeah I think you are right my S5 Inverter does have a RJ45 but I think its only used for Logic interface for switching the inverter off for a set of conditions. I think I will get their Wifi dongle thingy to connect it to the cloud. Only switched it on yesterday and not even moved into the house so I have plenty of time to be playing around with it over the coming years. Its just I have Cat6 at the board and I like hard wiring stuff in.
