    Settings for Solis inverter to charge overnight, not drain immediately & preserve some charge for backup

    Thanks, understand that now, Little experimenting and realized that my cunning plan has quite a flaw. I was hoping that mainly for my business, any power failure & the computer, phone system & credit card machine could run for an hour or so, enough time that either power is restored, time to...

    Hi, I really hope you can advise as to be honest most installers are asking quite a lot of money & not really advising of what is involved. Last year I had 3.6 Solis grid tied (non-hybrid) inverter (4.2 PV) installed All works well but no batteries then. I would like to add batteries so I...

    4 Core 1.5Mm Power To & Back From Thermostat. Amp Rating?
