The SmartgridOne Controller support the Solis grid-tied and hybrid inverters product lines. Both lines use a seperate communication protocol. Before we continue, we need to know in which product line your inverter is in.
Grid-tied line
Single and three phase grid-tied inverters
Hybrid and off-grid line
Battery storage inverters with backup capability
Understanding the difference between inverter types
Go to the official Solis website. Lookup your model in either the 'Hybrid & Off Grid Inverters' or 'Grid Tie Inverters' section, marked by the blue arrows in the image below.
If your model is not listed under the 'Hybrid & Off Grid Inverters' on the Solis website, open both the Hybrid and Off-grid line and Grid-tied line pages to see if your model is listed in either section.
Grid-tied Line:
- Only-solar inverters that convert DC power from solar panels to AC power
- Only work when grid power is available
- No battery storage capability
Hybrid Line:
- Hybrid inverters that can work with both solar panels and batteries
- Can store excess solar energy in batteries
- Choose this if you have (or plan to have) battery storage
