5.2 Power ON
Step 1: With the DC switch off, energize the PV strings and then measure DC
voltage of the PV strings to verify that the voltage and polarity are correct.
Turn on the battery and check the battery voltage and polarity as well.
Step 2: Turn on the OCPD for the system and then measure the AC voltages line
to line and line to neutral. The backup side of the system will be off until
commissioning is complete. Turn the OCPD back off for now.
Step 3: Turn the DC switch on and then the OCPD(AC breaker) for the system.
This inverter can be powered on by PV only, battery only and Grid only.
When the inverter is powered on,the five indicators will be lighted at once.
5.3 Power OFF
Step 1: Turn off the AC breaker or AC disconnect switch to disable AC power to
the inverter.
Step 2: Turn off the DC switch of the inverter.
Step 3: Turn off the battery breaker.
Step 4: Use a multimeter to verify that the battery and AC voltages are 0V.
5.4 Log in the APP via Bluetooth
Step 1: Connect with Bluetooth.
Turn on Bluetooth switch on your mobile phone and then open the Soliscloud
APP.
Click “More Tools”->”Local Operation”->”Connect with Bluetooth”
Step 2: Select the Bluetooth signal from the inverter. (Bluetooth Name:
Inverter SN)
Step 3: Login account.
If you are the installer, please select the account type as Installer. If you
are the plant owner, please select the account type as owner. Then set your
own initial password for control verification. (The first log-in must be
finished by installer in order to do the initial set up)
5.5 Initial set up
If this is the first time the inverter has been commissioned, you will need to
first go through the Quick Settings.Once this has been done,these settings can
be changed later.
Inverter Time -> Battery Model -> Meter Setting -> Grid Code -> Work mode A.
Inverter Time: Set the Inverter Time and Date. It may be easier to tap the
slider next to “Follow Phone Time”.Then tap Next in the top right corner. This
will set the inverter to
match your phone.
B. Battery Model: Now select the battery model connected to the inverter. This choice must be based on the battery model that is actually connected to the inverter. If there is no battery connected for the moment, select”No Battery”to avoid potential alarms codes.
C. Meter Setting: Set both the Meter Type and the Meter Location. It is suggested to install the meter at the system grid connection point and select “Meter in Grid”.If there is no meter connected for the moment, please select”No Meter” to avoid alarms.
D. Grid Code: Please select the grid code based on the local grid network requirements.
E. Work Mode: This is the energy storage operating mode. ALL modes first priority is to use the available PV power to support the home loads. The different modes determine what the second priority, or use of the excess PV power, will be. Select the desired mode, then tap the slider switch to turn the mode on. The switch will appear orange if it is enabled.
Self-Use Mode stores the excess PV power into the battery. If the battery
is charged, or there is no battery, the excess PV power will be
exported(sold)back to the utility company. If the system is set to not export
any power, then the inverter will curtail the PV power(derate the inverter
output power).
Feed in Priority Mode will ensure that the system exports any excess PV
power after the home loads are supplied. If the export power quota has been
met, then the remaining PV power will be stored in the battery. This mode
should not be used if export power is going to be set to zero.
Off-Grid Mode is only to be used by systems that are not electrically
connected to the grid at all. This mode is like Self-Use Mode, but the PV
power will be curtailed if the battery is charged and the home load demand is
lower than the amount of available PV power.
Backup Mod e can be opened in the Self-Use or Feed in Priority Mode. What
this mode does is ensure that the battery does not drain past the Reserve SOC
(state-of-charge) percentage. The battery will cycle between 100% and the
Reserve SOC, so if grid power is lost, the battery will have the Reserve SOC
at the very least to carry the home through the outage.
Time of Use Switch is for customizing when the battery is allowed to
charge and discharge power and at what rate, established by a
current(amperage)setting.If this slider switch is turned on, the inverter will
only use this schedule to determine when to charge and discharge the battery.
If Allow Grid Charging is turned on, the inverter will use grid power to
charge the battery only under two circumstances:(1) the battery drains to the
Force Charge SOC. (2)Time of Use is enabled and there is not enough available
PV power during the charge window to meet the current rate that is
established.
Time of Use is for manual control of the battery charging/discharging.If Time
of Use is turned off, charging/discharging is automatically regulated by the
inverter.

inverter information (serial number, model number, and firmware version),grid
code, and alarm code history. There are two additional information in the
inverter page:
GEN Information: generator power, today and total generator yield, and
warning information.
Parallel Information : information includes inverter, battery, grid and
load.
Battery: battery model and status, battery voltage and current.
Grid: power imported an exported, AC grid voltage, frequency, and
amperage.
Load: power being consumed by the home loads and backup loads.
5.6.4 Alarm
The alarm page can display the current alarm and the historical alarm.
5.6.5 Settings
Mode Setting
The interface can display the current work mode, Self-Use/Feed in Priority
/Off-Grid.
Please refer to page xxx for specific introduction.
Battery Setting
Battery Model: select the battery model to be connected.
Peak-shaving setting: If the switch is enable, the power of force
charging will be dynamically adjusted.
Few samples to be clear: (Forcecharge Limited Power Setting=4kW)
If the load=3kW,PV=0kW,P_forcecharge=PGrid(4kW)-P Load(3kW)=1kW.
If the load=10kW,PV=0kW,P_forcecharge=0kW,P_Grid=P_Load=10kW.
ECO Function: If PV power is lower than 100W and SOC falls below
overdischarge SOC, the inverter will turn off the grid relays and IGBT
switching. If forcecharge SOC is reached, it will connect back to grid and
charge battery back to overdischarge SOC, then turn off again.
Battery wake up : After Battery wake up command, the inverter powers the
DC battery port using Battery Wakeup Voltage and low AMP till BMS
communication of battery will be restored and within awaken time.
Over-discharge SOC: When the battery is discharged to the over-discharge
soc, the battery will nor discharge actively.(Due to the internal current,
conduction, there is a small selfconsumption power, if not charged for a long
time, the SOC will slowly continue
to decline.)
Force-charge SOC: Due to the battery power consumption, when the over-
discharge SOC drops to the force-charge SOC, the inverter will directly charge
the battery according to the maximum battery charging current until the
battery SOC reaches the over-discharge SOC. (The charging power is nor limited
to sources, which may be from PV or from the grid. If “Charging from grid”is
set to “Not Allow”,the charging logic may not be implemented.)
It is not recommended to set the over-discharge&force-charge SOC to the same
value, which may cause frequent charging and discharging.
GEN_Start_SOC/Volt: If SOC/Volt reaches GEN_Start_SOC/Volt, the generator
can be started.
GEN_Exit_SOC/Vot: If SOC/Volt reaches GEN_Exit_SOC/Volt, the generator
can be stopped.
Meter/CT Setting
You can select meter or CT for system measurement.
Meter Type : Please select a correct type. The wrong option may cause the
meter RS485 communication Failed. If the battery and meter are not connected,
please select the “NO Meter” to shield the alarm of meter communication fault.
CT Reverse: If the direction is wrong, the sampling current of CT will be
reversed when calculating the power.
CT Ratio: CT ratio is adjustable.
Grid Power Setting
System Export Power/Current: This is the amount of power/current the inverter
is permitted to export(or sell) back to the utility company. If you do not
want the system exporting power, this setting must be configured.
Failsafe Switch: Enabling the Failsafe switch will mean that the inverter will
not produce any P power if the inverter loses communication with the meter.
Backup Setting
Backup Voltage Setting: This is the voltage designated to the backup loads in
the event of a grid power loss.
Generator Setting
With Generator : Please turn it on if the generator is ready to work.
GEN Power Setting: GEN Rated Power/GEN Max.Charge Power.
Generator Position: Grid Port/GEN Port.
Grid Port Powered By: If the generator is connected in Grid Port and the
generator works , please select “Generator”.
GEN Signal: If the generator can automatic start-stop,turn on the switch,
once the generator start condition is reached,the inverter will start the
generator automatically.
GEN Force: If
GEN_Start_SOC<SOC<GEN_Exit_SOC/GEN_Start_Volt<Volt<GEN_Exit_Volt, the
generator can be forced to start.
GEN Stop: If
GEN_Start_SOC<SOC<GEN_Exit_SOC/GEN_Start_Volt<Volt<GEN_Exit_Volt, the
generator can be forced to stop.
Parallel Setting
Parallel Mode: Single/Parallel
Address ID: 1 to 6
Manual Set Master/Slave: Address ID 1 is Master, the others is Slave.
Inverter Connected Phase Setting: Single Phase(single phase system)/ Phase
A(Three Phase)/Phase B(Three Phase)/Phase C(Three Phase)

Frequently Asked Questions
Q4:Why the power values on the screen are fluctuating very fast?
A: If your loads are changing drastically, the inverter will adjust its power accordingly. If you confirm the loads are stable while the inverter power is changing very fast, please double check your meter CT's direction and make sure the arrow is towards grid.
A: OV-ILLC indicates there is an overcurrent issue on the internal LLC circuit. It could be transient status during extreme condition such as overload. If it happens constantly or too frequent and the extreme conditions have been excluded, please contact Solis service team.
A: OV-BATT-H indicates over voltage issue on the hardware of battery circuit. It could be caused by high battery voltage at full SOC, battery suddenly switching off, etc. If it happens constantly or too frequent and the extreme conditions have been excluded, please contact Solis service team.
