A couple of things to report: Solis are still dealing with my issues. At least there is an ongoing conversation. As I have said earlier, the battery temperature problem has largely been resolved although Solis have not specifically said why a low-temperature state exists when it doesn't. The...

A quick update. I raised a new ticket with Solis which was replied to within a few days. I think the earlier ticket had been 'lost'. Solis seem to only answer one question at a time. So far, I have been shown that the BMS is limiting the charge rate of the battery. So the inverter is doing what...

Yes. Diverter also has a CT clamp. There has been no definitive answer about whether the production CT for the Solis has to be connected as well as the consumption one, or whether it's optional. I have watched a Solis installers video and the instructor said the production clamp is provided if...

Yes. The CT clamp that goes to the Actel meter is on. The second production CT clamp is not. But this is an optional clamp for if you wish to get production data on the Solis cloud.

BTW still charging at 12A the other morning despite 58% SOC. Charging at 50A a short while thereafter. So perhaps charging is governed by inverter temperature instead,

Still no reply to me. Have you raised a ticket via web form on each occasion or is there a direct email? Cheers.

Okay, some good news. When I physically disconnected the data cable between the meter and the inverter, the charge and discharge were reduced to zero. Phew!! I can truthfully fill in the commissioning forms as the failsafe is working.(y). So other than the odd issue of having to set the meter...

Yes. I could do that without too much bother. I'll look into it and let you know the result.

Thanks for your reply. The issues I have: Solis RAI-3K-48ES-5G paired with Fox LV 5200 battery. I have had to set the meter as being on the PV rather than the grid, otherwise there are no comms with the inverter and it just discharges at 3kw back to the grid. I think this may be because I...

Solis finally contacted me 4 days ago to ask for my inverter number. No update since then though.:(. However, I have noticed that when SOC gets to 40% then charging at 50A is enabled. So at least that is working to an extent. But, and this is a big issue. If I turn the power off to the meter I...

I also have to fill in this form. Looks a bit daunting.:( Pages 3 & 4?

Ah, thanks for that. Deffo an issue with battery temp reporting. I've not seen an option to see the inverter temp. I'll have to contact Fox. They were quite good getting back to me last time I contacted them.

Just out of interest. What temperature is your inverter showing from the battery? I'm thinking the Fox LV5200 battery is not sending the correct reading to the inverter via CAN..

53.6v

My inverter is only charging the battery at 12A. So around 600w.:(. It appears to be a temperature related problem. We have 8 degrees here at the moment. However, BMS is showing battery temp of 0.0 degrees and a low temp condition. Presumably the Fox LV5200 should be sending the correct...

Yeah, I saw on youtube that setting to zero is not recommended. I'm wondering: My G100 offer is for 3.68kw max export. The most my panels manage is around 2.5kw but there is 3.645kw of panels installed. Do I have to set the inverter to 35w or less backflow? Or can I set it higher, say 2.5kw...

Time of use is for charging from the grid or feeding back if you are getting paid. For instance, If you have an economy 7 account you may wish to charge the battery overnight so that you can use that power during the day when the cost from the grid is higher. I want to self-use all the power...

Whoa!! That appears to have worked. Yep. Red com LED on Acrel now flashing and inverter behaving as it should. OMG! Thank you so much!! I'm thinking that not having the second CT clamp to measure production has been the issue. Just need to see that the battery charges okay on a sunny day. I have...

Yes. Timed from grid is set to stop. I have quadruple and more checked all the settings. The only thing I can see that's odd is that the com light on the acrel meter is not flashing red. The green run light is flashing. Which would seem to suggest an issue. However, inverter is not giving a...

Charging from grid and discharge to grid are turned off. Havent seen a self charge option but assume that if the others are turned off then self charge is the default?
