Product level: family

The Solis RHI-(3-6)K-48ES-5G is a single-phase hybrid inverter family made by Solis. Its most common setup is self-use storage mode. In that mode you can turn on grid charging, and you should turn off backup if the site does not use it. It has been installed with Puredrive batteries, using three Puredrive units in the example installation. For hybrid control, export limiting and consumption monitoring, use only meters and CTs on Solis's list: the Eastron SDM120CTM with an ESCT-TA16 CT, the Eastron SDM630MCT, or the Acrel ACR10R-16DTE and ACR10R-16DTE4 with XH-SCT-T16/120 CTs. Solis will not support a site that uses a meter or CT that is not on its list. Local DSP and HMI firmware updates are done with the Solis update stick in the green 4-pin COM port. The HMI file for this family is named HMI_WIFI.bin. Before a local update, unplug the communication cables and set the inverter address to 1. Solis sends update sticks only to installers.

<!-- review notes

sentence 4: support check: partial - The listed meters and CTs match, but the guide also lists others (such as SDM630MCT with other CTs and the Solis CT) and the statement narrows the list. -->
