7 of 20 - Inverter Menu Overview and Selecting the Grid Standard

Created by Victor Herrera, Modified on Fri, Jun 10, 2022 at 11:07 AM by Victor Herrera

On the main screen there are several icons denoting the different components of the entire system. From left to right, here are what the icons represent:

PV Module icon (top left): PV arrays connected to the inverter
Battery icon (bottom left): high-voltage energy storage system connected to the inverter
Inverter icon (middle): Solis Energy Storage Inverter
House icon (middle-top-right): home that is consuming power
Meter icon (top-right): meter connected to the inverter via RS-485 that is gathering consumption and exportation data
Grid icon: (bottom-right): the grid (or utility) importing or exporting power to and from the home
Light bulb icon: (middle-bottom-right): backup power being consumed by the backup loads panel

There are four buttons beneath the screen that can be pressed:

ESC - This is essentially a "back" button allowing you to return to the previous screen
UP - Use this button to scroll up within the menus
DOWN - Use this button to scroll down within the menus
ENTER - This is the "select" button which lets you choose and save settings within the interface

LED Indicator Lights

Note: Pressing Enter brings you to the main menu where there are four different options: (1) Information (2) Settings (3) Advanced Information (4) Advanced Settings
