Settings for Solis Inverter / Dyness Batteries

Beaker90

Hi All,

I currently have the following;

*4.6kw Solar (Due to go to 4.9kw as panel upgrades meant there is room for 1 more)

*2x Dyness b51100 batteries (5.12kw each)

*Solis Inverter

*Zappi & Eddi

I have had the system for around 6 weeks now, came to the conclusion that I might be better charging the batteries on my night rate, as it takes awhile for the batteries to charge depending on the weather, which means that there isn't much surplus to throw towards the Zappi & Eddi, ideally heating water in the morning and throwing the rest towards my 2 cars would work out better

Just got 2 questions

*Does anyone know the default password for the Solis inverter?

*Has anyone used the Dyness app? The instructions are quite vague on the app and also the manual I have isn't very clear.. Unsure if I need to use Bluetooth, AP Mode or EZ mode to add the batteries to it.. would rather use the app as everything is in my attic, than to have to go up and down to adjust etc

Thanks in advance,

Solis password is in the manual 0010

Thank you, for some reason I only have the manual for the Zappi and the batteries. Will head into the attic tomorrow and try it out

I have a Dyness - And I have it setup to charge at night rate - but only during winter (no ev, and only 5Kw battery). If you need screenshots i can share them - but the guide is pretty straightforward.

I never knew there was a Dyness app! I will check that out but if you find anything useful with the App can you come back and share please?

PS im jealous of your 2nd battery

Hmm I got a few of these bad boys and I'm pretty sure that unless you spec them from the factory to have wifi built-in you can't connect to them unless you use the serial cable.

At least that's what dyness themselves told me.

Thank you, I am thinking of only setting it to charge for an hour or so during summer, just so that its not taking so long to get charged. During winter I play to charge a bit more.

Sadly I am stuck with the app for now, so can't do anything, going to reach out to Dyness and see what they say.

Ah we use lots of electric so it made sense for us, expensive though :(

Ah I see, that makes sense, I will try and contract them and see if there is anything I can do

Nothing can be done unless specced that way unfortunately, I already asked 😉

Ah thanks, was hoping for something I could purchase to plugin..

Looks like its up and down into the attic for me then 😪

You can remotely control the inverter with some python code (if a solis), check the automation thread, has all the details.

Hi,I wonder if anyone has seen this error message? showes up every few hours :

alarm code 186B2

Alarm message: Can communication failure.

I have Solis RHI-6K-48ES-5G and 2 dyness 2.4kwh.

Can't find any info on it at all.

Alarm clears itself after few minutes but it does happen 5-6 times per day.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Peter

You might be better posting in the tips & trouble shooting thread. https://www.boards.ie/discussion/2058101518/solar-pv-hints-tips-troubleshooting#latest

Hey. I am a week away from my PV install and getting a zappi too. Maybe you are better partially charging the cars at night? Then leave the house battery to run from solar and feed all else. So take some of the ev load off the solar if you get me.

Charging a battery (car) from a battery (dryness) is gonna have losses. People on Boards suggest maybe 20% losses?? So I'm guessing it would cost less to charge the car direct from the Zappi at night - that's what I understood from reading stuff here but I could be wrong. But maybe you want to tinker with it and see how to set it all up for later in the year. Which makes sense.

The error indicates of poor connection between battery and inverter. Check comms cable between inverter and battery it may not be seated properly. It could also be that the battery shutsdown and hence comms are lost.

Hi Folks, hoping for a bit of help if anyone knows! I have an existing system with a Solis Hybrid inverter and I want to add 2 x Dyness 5.12 KWH batteries. I carefully followed the instructions and connected them yesterday to the inverter. The inverter has recognised the battery ok and I set it up to charge overnight which it did successfully. I have attached a picture of the home screen and my issue is that in the top right corner I have the message "RS4855 Null" and don't see any data for the AC side of the inverter ie. Power being exported and Power being used in the home. I'm wondering have a missed a setting or am I missing some sort of hardware that enables this function? Any advice would be appreciated :) Thanks

The solis needs a meter to read the grid,this communicates over rs485

did it ever show what the grid was doing?

SD_DRACULA

Sounds like he either changed the meter setting on the inverter or maybe the meter cable got loose?

If you have a solis inverter I found this video as a handy tutorial to set your battery to charge on a cheap night rate. Video also has the password ;-)

You can also use the discharge times to block dumping your battery power into an EV or into the house while you are still on a cheap night rate. Set the discharge limit to 0A and the appropriate time.

Thanks! This was the problem. I had the wrong meter installed so it wasn't reading the grid! all sorted now thankfully. Batteries installed successfully. Cheers 😊
