Identify PV Rail

Hi

In 2009 I fitted my first PV system. I am now about to upgrade panels and need extra rail.

Original supplier no longer trading.

Can anyone identify the make and type of rail?

Google image search did not find a match.

Does Solis Hybrid Invertor have to have meter and CT?

Hi I am looking to fit a Solis Hybrid inverter initially with Pylontech batteries with solar to follow. In the install manual it states inverter is able to connect to Acrel or Eastron meters. Does the Solis have to have the meter? I am guessing yes but can't find explicit confirmation. I ask for an ...

Re: Can Solis Hybrid be used without solar?

Thanks.

Yes just AC coupled on Go tariff using Pylontech batteries. If electricity prices go much higher we could add ground mount PV but that would mean loss of part of the garden. It would also mean pretty long DC cables. Not sure if there is a length limitation.

Can Solis Hybrid be used without solar?

Hi

We are fitting a new battery storage system. Don't want to use Lux. Can the Solis hybrid be used without solar just as a grid storage inverter?

Regards
