Hi all,
New to the forum and to solar panels. This isn’t really my area, so I apologise in advance if any of these questions don’t make sense.
We got a combined ASHP and solar panel setup last week and they finally got the solar panels up and running yesterday. There’s an issue with the battery, but they’re getting that sorted out with the supplier.
Our system is using:
Solis Hybrid invertor (Rhi 5kw Hybrid Single Phase)
V-TAC 5kw battery (VT48100E)
10 x 410w V-TAC half mono solar panels (VT-410B)
I have a couple of questions though:
1 - I noticed on the SolisCloud app that generated and consumed energy figures are the same. Is this because we currently don’t have a battery and aren’t exporting to grid?
2 - The app shows used from as being 0, but I know there has been times when we pulled from the grid yesterday.
3 - When we are no longer generating power from the panels (ie at night) the invertor switches off. Should that happen?
Sorry if any these seem obvious, but I really have no clue. The installer says that he’s never installed this kind of system so he’s learning as he goes (which is a worry).
I’ve included some images.
Thanks
Alex
