Solis hybrid inverter with my Puredrive 5kW battery - ground voltage of 195V. What is this and is it a problem?

Is anyone here familiar with Solis hybrid inverter. I have just installed one with a Puredrive 5kW battery. I was flicking through the menus and found running messages. This page shows a ground voltage of 195V. What is this and is it a problem? Pictures provided below.

Answered in a different forum. Apparently this is a breakdown in translation from Chinese to English. This is said to be the midpoint of the dc bus voltage, which does add up. This was also shown to me on a system designed in the US where they had a ground voltage equal to half of their bus voltage.

      I’ve failed to get you some first-hand advice on this, @edsashley. 

       

      @ArundaleP @davericho or @Jequinlan may be able to tell you about this ground voltage messaging…. I know I can’t!

        Hey @edsashley,

         

        @edsashley me being new to this tech I take it that this is normal and nothing to worry about or not

         

        Any updates on this? Would you be able to send @davericho a link in private message to the other Forum you are referring to as they might find it useful.
