Thought that option was only for a depleted battery? The inverter is seeing the battery and emptying it back to the grid.:(

Excellent. My thoughts are that something is very off with the inverter regardless of other settings. Export limitation at 0w and switched on should overide exporting 3kw from the battery.

Yes. 1 ph meter sited at grid.

Self use is on. The other 3 options are off.

Solis customer service line is just playing me Rick Astley and Abba etc :( . I've emailed them as well. Hopefully have an answer at some stage. Obviously, had to turn it all off. Very disappointing!!

Yes, I think so. Self use = on Battery = fox Grid = g98=on Can't understand why any export is occuring. Export limiting is set to zero, set to on, failsafe set to on. No warnings on display about meter.:(

All connected up...But not working properly. Battery is at 68%. Sun is shining, we're exporting over 2kw, so power should be going to the battery. However, when I turn the inverter on it's chucking 3kw out to the grid on top of what we are already exporting. I have export limiting set to 0w...

Ah, thanks again. OK. I'll order a double-pole rotary isolator today.(y)

You were able to use standard glands?

Thanks all. Yeah looks like trouble. The knockouts are too close to the side wall to get a nut on, so maybe grommet only. Hopefully I'll get an answer from the manufacturer tomorrow. I liked the look of it compared to a rotary isolator.:( I'll have to take it back to Toolstation.

I bought one of these as an isolator. I need to run swa to it and then 11mm diameter cable to the load. (inverter). Described as having 20mm and 25mm knockouts I bought 20mm swa gland kit and 20mm nylon glands. However, these do not work as the housing has reinforcing inside, meaning that the...

I agree. Just wondering if it's in the regs? As I say, it's not shown in the wiring diagram from Solis.

Still waiting for the electrician to come and rearrange my CU so that circuits are not sharing the RCD with solar and connect the SWA from the inverter to CU. Just wondering: Plug-in solar insisted on a lockable fused switch between the micro-inverters and the CU. Do I need to do the same with...

Yeah, that would make it nice and tidy. Cheers Binky.(y)

:). I think I've probably answered my own question here. I obviously don't need SWA all the way to the gland. I'll just strip it back to the point where I fix it to the wall.:)

Hmm. Bit of an issue: Solis specify 6mm cable for the inverter AC connection. So I bought 14m of SWA. It has OD of 15mm. However, the gland that the wire needs to go through is only 12mm.:(. I can't go to a larger gland as the hole in the metal bracket that houses the gland is only 20mm...

Ah, cheers for that.(y). Yeah, the first pic is the battery and the second is the inverter. Funny, I wondered if that was the solution but it wasn't clear in the manual. Excellent, nice, and easy.:cool:

What do you think Binky? Grounding rod or connect to CU?

So there's a nut on the back of the inverter on the cooling fins with the grounding symbol and the battery also has a small nut with the grounding symbol.

The Solis hybrid inverter and fox battery I have both call for external grounding. Do I need to install a grounding rod or do I connect to CU earth?
