What is this switch beside my Solis inverter?

    DC Isolator on top.

    AC Isolator under it.

    Then a fused switch. What is the function?

    I assumed it was just an AC off switch for the inverter. If so, why have it with the AC Isolator already there?

    Fused spur for the check meter and/or modbus meter?

    That was my second guess based on a couple of online photos. I think that's correct, cheers.

    Fireman switch would be the other guess, that's what's mine is.

    I waited til it was dark and turned it off. It is indeed the FM switch.

    Hi ghost, did you get external charger connected yet?

    I got hold of a Huawei R4850G2 rectifier, have the CAN comms working, just waiting on a few bits to integrate it in to HA.

    Haven't connected it to the system yet as not sure what settings to use, output voltage and output current?

    I'm assuming as the Seplos (which is the only battery I have connected at the moment) has voltage charge request of 57.60V and the WECO BMS seem to max out at 58V as long as I use a voltage less than the lowest with say 57V @ 50A output I should be ok?

    Just not sure what way to run it BMS wise, WECO, Seplos or none?

    Would be wary that if say the WECO is full way before the Seplos that the inverter and charger are still chucking out 50amps each that the WECO BMS will fry, or will it just disconnect itself completely?

    I haven't had it connected yet. 57A sounds about right and was what I was planning to set it at. I will use a smart timed switch and connect it to the busbar. If the battery is full and the charger is still on, the battery won't take anything extra and the charger will just idle/cancel out the flow of electrons.
