Solis Inverter Parallel Operation with Generator
1. Instruction
In some areas where there is no grid or grid outages frequently, diesel generators are installed
in the system. Solis S6-GC(80-125)K series inverter can operate in parallel with diesel
generators, thereby reducing the cost of diesel for customers
2. Inverter Parallel Operation with Generator
Scenario 1: No grid
There is the no grid on the site, inverters operator in parallel with generator directly, the
diagram as below:
Daisy chain connection for monitoring
Daisy chain connection for master slave control
Load
Slave
AC cable
CT
RS485 cable
Master
Meter
Meter port
All the inverters are connected in a daisy chain through the RS485 cables. One inverter should be set as
master inverter, other inverters should be set as slave inverter and meter should connect with the master
inverter. The master will control the slave inverter and makes sure no current inject into the generator.
Scenario 2: there is grid on site
If there is grid on site, ATS will be used between the grid and generator, the diagram as below:

Rectifier
5VDC
In this scenario, a 220VAC/5VDC rectifier should be used, which can provide a 5VDC voltage to the inverter
through the I/O port after generator starts. When grid is outa, ATS will switch to generator and generator
will start. Rectifier will input a 5VDC signal to the master inverter. Then master inverter will control all the
inverters to make sure no current inject into the generator when paralle operation with the generator.
3. Highlights
In this solution, only a meter is needed, no need third-part controller, which can save the cost
for customer. By improving the response speed between inverters, current injection into
diesel generators can be avoided.

4.1 Meter connection
Follow the following diagram to connect the meter.
The meter model: Arc ADL400
Meter should connect to the master inverter

5. Inverter setting
Scenario 1: No grid
Follow these steps to set the inverter:
Step 1: Advanced setting->EPM setting->Integrated EPM Set->EPM switch->ON
Step 2: Advanced setting->EPM setting->Integrated EPM
Set->EPM-Mode->Wri_SYS->3P_4W->Minimum
Step 3: Advanced setting->EPM setting->Integrated EPM Set->EPM-Mode->Mode Set->GEN
Step 4: Advanced setting->EPM setting->Integrated EPM Set ->EPM-Mode->Met Set->ADL400
Step 5: Advanced setting->EPM setting->Integrated EPM Set->Export Power->GEN MinP(The
recommended value is 30% generator rated power )
Step 6：Advanced setting->EPM setting->Integrated EPM Set-> Integrated EPM ID Setting
->1-10(The inverter with address 1 is automatically recognized as the master inverter)
Scenario 1: There is grid on site and ATS is used
Follow these steps to set the inverter:
Step 1: Advanced setting->EPM setting->Integrated EPM Set->EPM switch->ON
Step 2: Advanced setting->EPM setting->Integrated EPM
Set->EPM-Mode->Wri_SYS->3P_4W->Unbalanced/Minimum
Step 3: Advanced setting->EPM setting->Integrated EPM Set->EPM-Mode->Mode Set->Auto
Step 4: Advanced setting->EPM setting->Integrated EPM Set ->EPM-Mode->Met Set->ADL400
Step 5: Advanced setting->EPM setting->Integrated EPM Set->Export Power->Grid Exp P
