    Solis 3kW AC coupled Inverter & Fogstar 5.12kWh Rack Battery ?

    Fogstar rack batteries are just a little cheaper. ;) They say "Our racks are built for the UK Climate. They heat themselves when a temperature of <5°c is detected, enabling the user to charge our racks in temperatures of -20C." Ideal for the cold garage in UK winter.

    Overnight Charging Times

    My clock is set to Friday 28/04/2023 11:16:50 (UTC+01:00) Note the plus one hour to get correct UK time now. There have been several app updates in the last few weeks, at a guess I would say there is a difference now between the APP and your actual inverter time setting. Remember to use the...

    Solis error 2015 . BMS

    Not sure if this is of any help to either of you but here is the gist of an email I saw on another forum from Pylontech in regard to Solis inverter use. When you set the inverter to Pylontech it leaves the voltage range at 42-60v even though the operational range of the battery is 45v to 54v...

    If you look on youtube there are instances of extending the CT by up to 40mtr using cat 6 cable. I suggest you keep the length as short as possible and use all pairs. Pluginsolar even sell the CT with suggestions to extend it...

    Solis app

    Well maybe its different for wifi or gprs to LAN. Have you tried downloading the Solis cloud operation manual to check there?

    Solis app

    Is the solis cloud app up and running with your data logger listed by serial number in the app ? Is the logger listed as online? If so click on the serial number and it will give you the signal quality graph. I am assuming the same graph of quality appears for both LAN and wifi sticks.

    Yes its probably not actually on the copper busbar but anywhere from that point following the isolator up to the cu above would do.

    Look again, it has two clamps, one direct from the Solis and the other via the meter. Both are used as are mine.

    DIY Battery Is Alive !!

    I have this inverter, from another forum Part of the Pylontech CANBus protocol is that the 8 character string "PYLON " (i.e. PYLON and 3 spaces) should be sent as CANBus message 0x35E. The Solis will fail with the battery name error if the Solis is set to PYLONLV battery type and it does not...
