Re: Solis RAI-3K 5G
Apparently ITs Tech had a shipment in Oct but apparently they don’t know how much stock is in it until arrival. So if we haven’t had our calls yet, they didn’t have enough stock to fulfil their backlog. Considering I ordered mine back in July, we’re a bit away from the backlog. Maybe mid November is the next shipment

Re: Solis RAI-3K 5G
Just an update for my Can Comm Fail errors I posted about earlier. Turns out the cable from the can port to the circuit board inside the inverter wasn't connected properly, had to open it up and click it in the rj45 port on the circuit board. After that - all good.
Re: Solis RAI-3K 5G
I had an email yesterday saying I needed to pay the remaining balance and that orders are being shipped w/c 7th Nov my "failed" lead acid experiment is soon to be over (think one of the batteries is duff) but it's been a useful exercise in learning about the tweaks on the Solis and how the Pylon can be connected *if* it doesn't play nicely - fingers crossed anywayKenny000666 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 24, 2022 1:56 pm Apparently ITs Tech had a shipment in Oct but apparently they don’t know how much stock is in it until arrival.

That's good to hear though quite annoying that they didn't build it properly! From what I can gather you need to remove the entire unit and then remove the screws from the back?FlimFlam99 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 25, 2022 9:52 pm Just an update for my Can Comm Fail errors I posted about earlier.

Well my US5000 has arrived finally - blinking heavy and had to borrow the courier's pallet truck to drag it up the drive to save him reversing up through a load of overgrown hedge (not mine!) Still not unboxed it as need to shift the LAs around a bit (I think one is bad but getting a warranty claim is like blood from a stone - lesson learnt!) Will report back in due course!

How do you now is it's bad? I think it may be easier just to go through bank if you paid by card?Umski wrote: ↑Thu Nov 10, 2022 11:57 am Well my US5000 has arrived finally - blinking heavy and had to borrow the courier's pallet truck to drag it up the drive to save him reversing up through a load of overgrown hedge (not mine!)

Re: Solis RAI-3K 5G
The magic eye, crude as it is, won't go green on charging, it's clear which suggests replace - I also lost a few hours of run time from when they were new - literally a dozen or so cycles. I've tried a few different things, charging independently etc but no definitive result, supplier (I won't name and shame) wants £20 deposit to collect and test to decide if faulty or suggested taking to Halfords or Kwik-Fit as they want a printed readout rather than me run a full run-time test - anyway, they were £50 leisure batteries, bought on the premise that I also have a standalone APC UPS and they also fit in a currently off-the-road Polo so not all is lost! My local mechanic has a portable battery tester so I'll see what that shows when I get a chance to see if it's worth the effort of returning...
Re: Solis RAI-3K 5G
Well I finally found the TechView passwords on the DIYSolarForum if anyone wants them:
advanced user: solis123456
installer: solis123
It gets a bit 'heavy' in there and not much in the way of 'user config' as such i.e. TechView is next to useless
