Solis Export Power Manager for real-time data collection

The Solis Export Power Manager transforms a standard solar system into an intelligent energy management hub, focusing on compliance, optimization, and real-time oversight.

• Real-Time Power Flow Monitoring: Equipped with high-accuracy current transformers (CTs), the device provides precise, real-time data on the building's total energy consumption and the amount of solar power being exported to the grid. This continuous monitoring forms the foundation for all intelligent control decisions.

• Dynamic Export Power Limitation (EPL): This is the core function. Users or installers can set a maximum allowable export limit (e.g., 5kW as per a grid contract). The manager actively communicates with the Solis hybrid inverter, instructing it to instantly ramp down production the moment export levels approach this limit, preventing any violation.

• Ensures Grid Compliance and Avoids Penalties: By guaranteeing that a site never exports more power than permitted, it protects the system owner from potential penalties from utility companies and ensures uninterrupted operation under specific grid connection mandates (like G99/G100 in the UK or similar regulations worldwide).

• Maximizes Self-Consumption and ROI: Instead of simply clipping solar production, the system prioritizes using the solar energy on-site. By limiting export, it encourages the diversion of excess power to charge batteries (if available) or to power local loads, thereby increasing self-sufficiency and improving the return on investment.

• Seamless Integration with Solis Ecosystem: The device is designed to work flawlessly with Solis hybrid inverters and the Solis Cloud monitoring platform. This integration allows for easy configuration, real-time visibility of power flows, and historical data analysis through a single, user-friendly interface.

• Future-Proofing for Energy Management: As a key component of a smart energy system, it paves the way for more advanced applications, such as dynamic control based on time-of-use tariffs or integration with home energy management systems (HEMS) for fully automated energy optimization.
