Solis

Our Controller supports the Solis grid-tied inverter product lines. Before you continue, it is important to know which inverter you have.

Understanding the difference between inverter types

Go to the official Solis website. Find your model in the 'Hybrid & Off Grid Inverters' or 'Grid Tie Inverters' section, marked by the blue arrows in the image below.

If your model is not listed under 'Hybrid & Off Grid Inverters' on the Solis website, check whether it appears under the grid-tied line or the hybrid and off-grid line using the descriptions below.

Grid-tied line:

• Solar-only inverters that convert DC power from solar panels into AC power
• Only work when grid power is available
• No battery storage support

Hybrid line:

• Hybrid inverters that can work with both solar panels and batteries
• Can store excess solar energy in batteries
• Choose this line if you have, or plan to have, battery storage

Grid-tied inverters

A grid-tied Solis inverter is read through a Solis datalogger (for example the S2-WL-ST), which acts as the gateway to the inverter's RS485 interface. Add the datalogger as the PV device over Modbus TCP.

With this integration our EMS enables:

• Monitoring of PV production data
• Active power curtailment where the inverter supports it
• Integration of PV production into the broader energy management strategies

Hybrid inverters

A hybrid inverter from the S6 energy storage line is not added here. It is added as a battery system, and the solar field on its MPPT inputs then appears automatically as a separate PV device underneath it. See Solis energy storage inverters for the setup, the required PV capacity and the curtailment limitation.
