His concise tutorial ensures viewers can optimize their inverter for efficient home energy use.
Takeaways
- 🔧 Start by accessing the 'advanced settings' on the inverter to configure the system for self-use.
- 🔢 Enter the code '00101' to access the specific settings for self-use in the inverter.
- 🇬🇧 Check the standard setting for 'UK G98' to ensure compatibility with the local grid standards.
- 🔌 Ensure the 'backup disabled' setting if not using the backup port; otherwise, keep it enabled.
- 🔋 Select the appropriate battery type, in this case, 'Pylon', for the setup.
- 📏 Verify the meter type being used, either 'Acryl' or 'Eastron', and ensure it's correctly placed for grid connection.
- 🔄 Set the 'storage mode select' to 'self-use' to optimize the system for self-consumption of energy.
- ❌ Make sure the 'charge from grid' setting is on 'allow' to enable charging from the grid when needed.
- 🛑 Set the 'self-use' mode to 'stop' if you do not want to charge from the grid or use time-of-use settings.
- 🔄 Turn off other settings like 'backup' and 'off grid' to streamline the system for self-use only.
- 👋 The script concludes with a reminder to ensure all settings are correctly configured and a sign-off.

What meter should be used according to the script?
-The script suggests using the 'Acryl' meter for one-phase metering, and also mentions the 'Eastron' as an alternative.
What should the 'Meter Placement' be set to for grid-connected systems?
-The 'Meter Placement' should be set to '99 on grid' for grid-connected systems.
What is the recommended 'Storage Mode Select' for self-use?
-For self-use, the 'Storage Mode Select' should be set to 'Self-Use'.
What does the 'Self-Use' setting control in the inverter?
-The 'Self-Use' setting controls whether the inverter prioritizes using stored energy before drawing from the grid and can also be configured for time-of-use scenarios.
Why is it recommended to set the 'Charging from Grid' to 'Allow'?
-Setting 'Charging from Grid' to 'Allow' ensures that the inverter can charge from the grid when necessary, which is almost always the case for 99.99% of users.
What other settings should be turned off according to the script?
-According to the script, other settings that should be turned off include 'Backup' and 'Off Grid'.

hey everybody this is travis we're gonna
go through the souls hybrid on how to
set it up for self-use now self-use is
pretty much what 99 of people going to
use so this will be your default go-to
setup so when you go into the inverter
you want to first of all go down to
advanced settings so all of our um menu
structures all the same info settings

press enter now we want to go zero zero
one zero so if you down down up
enter
now we're in advanced settings
so right off
you always want to check your standard
for
the uk g98
and then we want to go down to storage
energy set that's your bread and butter
right there
so um you're gonna go first of all i
like to go to control panels and make
sure the backup disabled it's not if
it's enabled uh if you're using it the
backup port uh have it enabled if not
just disable it
save and
send and then we're going to go to
battery select
for this situation we're going to use
pylon
so that's good that's correct always
check your meter
so the one phase meter is the acryl
meter acr and there's also the eastron
so this is correct
meter placement is 99 on grid so leave
that as is
storage mode select is uh where we're
gonna go next
and we're going to go up to self-use
right so self-use
now we want to make sure it's on the
light colored is the selector not the
dark color
we have it on and this is the second
stage of selfies do you want to charge
from grid and or do you want to do time
of use right now we want to just do self
use so we go in here we make sure it
says stop that's correct
save and send
and then for charging from grid almost
99.99 you're gonna have it on allow if
you have it on not allow it won't force
charge so always make sure it's on allow
you come out of there and then
uh what i like to do is i like to make
sure everything else is off
[Music]
so my backup is off
and off grid is off and that's it thanks
guys bye
