Inverter parallel operation

Inverter paralleling lets several hybrid inverters run as one coordinated system. One master manages the output power of the slave units. On Solis S6 hybrids, you switch Parallel Mode from Single to Parallel, give the master address 1 and number the slaves 2, 3 and so on, and set the total inverter count. Configure the slaves first and the master last. Turn on Parallel Sync only at the end, slaves before master. After that, the master pushes work modes and other settings to the slaves. Wiring: daisy-chain the units with CAT5/6 cable between the Parallel A and B ports, which use CAN. Set DIP switches 1 and 2 to ON only on the first and last inverter. Connect the meter to the master only, and bond all units to the same ground point. All units need the same firmware version and same-size inverters and batteries. Each battery's BMS must connect to its own inverter. Solis S6 inverters built before January 2023 cannot be paralleled, and unbalanced grid-side loads are not yet supported. If the master has a non-critical fault, the slaves keep running. A critical fault stops all inverters. Slave alarms are forwarded to the master's alarm log. Some products do not allow it. The Solis RHI series does not support parallel operation on its AC-BACKUP port, and doing so voids the warranty. Generac PWRcell Whole Home Backup does not support parallel operation with other storage systems.

<!-- review notes

• sentence 7: support check: partial - RHI AC-BACKUP parallel and warranty void are stated, and Whole Home Backup lacks parallel with other storage, but the Generac statement is about the configuration 'at this time', not the product generally. -->
