Solis inverter settings

Anybody hooked up a Fogstar 16.1kwh battery to their Solis Inverter? Interested to see experiences for what looks like a great battery.

I put an automation together for this last week. In the event winds of over 75km are forecast in the following 12 hrs, reserve SOC of 75% is enabled. Wind speeds over 90km 100% is enabled. Let's see does it work as required.

Via home assistant. There is some info back through this thread on using it with a Solis inverter or there is plenty of info over in the home automation category.

Thanks. My installer came out within 24 hours and did it for free for us, after I rang them about it. Works great. Thanks info.

I didn't explain myself well. It was meant to be part of the main install, they resolved it.

Thanks. It looks really nice and gives more graphical info upfront instead of hunting for it. Good progress.

I’ve a solis S5 with 15KW of batteries .
Can the solis handle exporting to the grid and also charging of the batteries when solar is generating excess of 5kw.

I will be generating more than 5kw during the summer months and want to avoid clipping . I was hoping that the battery could take some of the excess during the peak solar times to avoid clipping .
would anyone know if it does this .
thank you

can anyone tell me if it is possible to set AI mode for dynamic tariff settings on a solis S5.
I’ve tried solis cloud and also the app but can’t seem to find it anywhere .

Seems they have changed the firmware and now it ALWAYS pulls 40-50W constantly from the grid no matter what.
1.2 Kw a day that used to come from the batteries.

Look for the battery setting to "Battery Saving" to be "Disable".
If that is enabled, the toll goes up to 100W-110W, around 2.5Kw a day from the grid.

Solis, what is this nonsense? Why now?

Nothing to do with the Dyness. I can understand a bit of pulling AC here and there but not this constant draw for nothing.

Thanks, will try that.

I had serious problem last weekend, inverter went half bricked after I sent an API command through solis cloud to update charging timings… and got alarm blinking with operation blinking too, no LED no control nothing.

Second time it happened, I had to patiently wait all weekend until Monday, at least they sorted with firmware update.
Now I have this other issue that didn't happen before. Not battery saving setting… I've raised that ticket and see if they can help.

EDIT : ticket worked and they fixed overnight. Wondering why isn’t that a setting… but anyway.

The fireman switch is going to lose power in the event of a power cut in turn dropping out your array. This can be addressed with a change over switch

You'd need someone to look at it. Too many variables. Space available, setup, where the inverter is located in relation to the DB. A change over switch is not big money, approx. €100 for an isolator type of €60 fin the a din rail style one. But I would expect the cost to run into the hundreds with other materials and labour. Make sure you get someone who knows what they're doing.

Remember the scheduled charge and discharge will not flip on their own. Some models do not update their time automatically and will screw you unless you manage it.

where in the settings on solis cloud should you change it? i changed it under invertor control yesterday to correct time - but i noticed this morning its out by an hour still and it imported at the wrong time for me last night..
