1.2 Packaging 1.1 Product Description The Solis RHI series is designed for residential hybrid systems, which can work with Please ensure that the following items are included in the packaging with your machine: batteries to optimize self-consumption. The unit can operate in both off- and on-grid modes.
NEC Article 690, Part II. All Solis single phase inverters feature an integrated WARNING: DC switch. “Warning” indicates a hazardous situation which if not avoided, could result CAUTION: in death or serious injury.
2. Safety & Warning 3. Overview 3.1 Screen Solis RHI series adopts 7 inch color screen, it displays the status, operating information and settings of the inverter. WARNING: 3.2 Keypad The RHI series does not support parallel (three- and single-phase) operation on the AC-BACKUP port.
4. Installation 4. Installation 4.1 Select a Location for the Inverter Install on a wall or strong structure capable of bearing the weight of the machine (17kg). To select a location for the inverter, the following criteria should be considered: Install vertically with a maximum incline of +/- 5 degrees, exceeding this may cause Exposure to direct sunlight may cause output power derating.
Make sure the DC-switch, battery, AC-BACKUP, and AC-Grid are all in their off-states. Make sure the PV resistance to ground is higher than 20K ohms. The Solis RHI series inverter uses the MC4 connectors. Please follow the picture below to Locking screw assemble the MC4 connectors.
Use appropriate crimping tools for crimping Figure 4.6 4.4 Battery Terminal Components To avoid DC Arc, Solis recommends installing DC switch between batteries and Hybrid Inverter. (At least 65A) Ensure the correct polarity of batteries before connecting to the inverter.
