10. Appendix

10.1 Battery Terminal Assembly

In order to avoid DC arc, Solis suggest to install a DC switch between the battery and RHI inverter.

NOTE: Power cable uses water-proofed AMPHENOL connectors. It must keep pressing this Lock Button during pulling out the power plug.

10.2 Three phase meter connection

10.3 Special Back-up Connection

For some markets such as Italy, etc., the backup port and grid port should not be powered at the same time.

When the grid is present, the grid port should be used to support the loads. When the grid is lost, the backup port should be used to support the loads.

An interlocking function between the backup port and grid port is necessary. Therefore, a separate NPS box and firmware upgrade is needed to achieve this function. Please consult Solis technicians for details and refer to the NPS box installation manual.

10.4 Working Mode Description

Mode 1: Self-Use Mode Logic (Maximize the usage of PV)

PV Power Using Priority: Load>Battery>Grid

Load Support Priority: PV>Battery>Grid

Battery Charging Power comes from PV. (If "Charging From Grid" is allowed, it can also come from Grid)

If "Time of Use" is "Run", the logic will follow the charging/discharging settings and time settings as defined in "Time of Use". For those undefined period of time, it will still follow the Self-Use logic.

Time of use for Self use

Path: Advanced Settings-> Storage Energy Set-> Storage Mode Select->Self-Use Mode-> ON-> Time of use for Self use

Charging from gird self use

Path: Advanced Settings-> Storage Energy Set->Storage Mode Select->Self-Use Mode-> ON->Charging from gird for Self use

Mode 2: Feed In Priority Mode Logic (Feed the excess PV to Grid in order to gain s ubsidies)

PV Power Using Priority: Load>Grid>Battery

Load Support Priority: PV>Battery>Grid

Battery Charging Power comes from PV. (If "Charging From Grid" is allowed, it can also come from Grid)

If "Time of Use" is "Run", the logic will follow the charging/discharging settings and time settings as defined in "Time of Use". For those undefined period of time, it will still follow the Feed in Priority logic.

Time of use for Feed for priority

Path: Advanced Settings-> Storage Energy Set-> Storage Mode Select-> Feed in Priority Mode->ON-> Time of use for Feed for priority

Charging from gird for Feed for priority

Path: Advanced Settings-> Storage Energy Set-> Storage Mode Select-> Feed in Priority Mode->ON-> Charging from gird for Feed for priority

Mode 3: Backup Mode Logic (Keep the Battery at a certain SOC and only use it during power outage)

Backup Mode Logic: Keep the Battery at a certain SOC and only use it during power outage.

Backup SOC Setting Range: From Battery "Overdischarge SOC" to 100%

PV Power Using Priority: Battery>Load>Grid

Load Support Priority: PV>Grid>Battery

Battery Charging Power comes from PV. (If "Charging From Grid" is allowed, it can also come from Grid)

* The "Backup Mode" is not applicable for Lead-acid batteries.

Charging from gird for Backup mode

Path: Advanced Settings-> Storage Energy Set-> Storage Mode Select->Backup Mode-> ON-> Backup SOC->Charging from gird for Backup mode

Mode 4: Off-Grid Mode Logic (For Off-grid use and AC-Grid Port Disconnected)

OverDischg SOC for Off-Grid Setting Range: From Battery "Forcecharge SOC" to 100%

PV Power Using Priority: Load>Battery

Load Support Priority: PV>Battery

Battery Charging Power comes from PV.

Off Grid Mode

Path: Advanced Settings-> Storage Energy Set-> Storage Mode Select-> Off-Grid Mode-> ON->Off Grid Mode

Mode 5: EPS Mode Logic (Need to work with external Solis NPS switching Box to achieve switching function)

When grid is available, only the Grid Port is enabled and load is supported through NPS box by the grid.

When grid is lost, Grid Port will be disabled and after the "Switching Time", the Backup Port will be enabled and then load is supported through NPS box by the Backup Port.

*It gives up the UPS function of the backup port and manually set the switching time. This mode must work with the Solis NPS switching Box.

Otherwise it may cause some unexpected control mistakes.

EPS Mode

Path: Advanced Settings-> Storage Energy Set-> Storage Mode Select-> EPS Mode-> EPS En/Disable-> Enable

10.5 Grid standard selection guide

NOTE: Please check if the grid code setting comply with local requirement.

For different countries and regions, corresponding grid code needs to be selected in the inverter LCD to meet the requirements of local network provider.

This instruction indicates how to change the grid code and what code should be selected in different places.

This following list illustrates the grid standard options in the inverter which are subject to change. It is for your reference only. If customer has any doubts or uncertainty, please consult Solis service department for confirmation.
