Its one string takes a recommended 1.1 kW of panels for a maximum 0.77 kVA of AC output, which in practice means two modules rather than three.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"crx-lede\"\u003eTwo 550 W modules fill that 1.1 kW; a third fits only if every panel is about 365 W or less. That, rather than conversion, is the reason to take the 0.7 kW instead of its 1 kW sibling — both are quoted at 96.6% peak and 95.3% EU efficiency in the same 310 × 373 mm case. It is the inverter for the arrays a full-size unit is wasted on: an outbuilding with room for one pair of modules, a single narrow roof face, or a small array feeding a workshop supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"crx-h\"\u003eThe short version\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"crx-facts\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"crx-fact\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e700 W\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRated output\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"crx-fact\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e1.1 kW\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRecommended PV\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"crx-fact\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e1 MPPT\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne string\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"crx-fact\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e50–500 V\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTracking window\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"crx-fact\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e1 phase\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e230 V supply\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"crx-fact\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e10 A\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrid breaker\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"crx-fact\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e95.3%\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEU efficiency\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"crx-fact\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e28 days\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDNO notification\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt hangs vertical, within 5° of upright, with 300 mm above and to each side and 500 mm below: about 910 × 1,170 mm of clear wall once the 310 × 373 mm case sits in the middle of it. IP66 allows an outside wall, but Solis wants it out of direct sun and rain, with a shade above 40 °C ambient, and a closed cupboard or boxed-in corner is out, because it cools by convection alone and the case can pass 75 °C. The wall behind it has to be non-combustible, so a timber outbuilding needs a fireproof board first. On the AC side it draws 4.4 A at most, on 2.5–6 mm² cable rated to 105 °C, 6 mm² past 20 m, behind a 10 A breaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"crx-h\"\u003eIs it the right inverter for you?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTwo big panels, or three small ones:\u003c\/b\u003e two modules of up to 550 W reach the recommended 1.1 kW, three only at about 365 W each.

A CT Model takes a current sensor, which has to sit on the grid side. A Meter Model takes a single-phase meter — the DDSD1352-C or the ACR10RD16TE — on either side, though the 24-hour consumption view needs it on the grid side with the 24H switch on. Solis supplies the EU part number as the Meter model, so a CT will not work with it. UK installs run fail-safe ON for G100, which is why a damaged CT lead stops generation rather than quietly releasing the limit. And where an energy supplier asks for the output to be capped below 700 W, set it with Output_P and Restore, which is stored in flash and survives the overnight shutdown; Set Output Power looks the same on screen but is held in RAM and is gone by morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"crx-warn\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eNote: This inverter can be reduced in power with the agreement of the energy supplier in order to comply with possible regulations of a balcony power plant in your country.
