Solis AI for smart energy management with dynamic tariffs
Share
Discover Solis AI — the intelligent energy management system that automatically optimises your solar energy, battery storage and grid interaction using real-time data and predictive intelligence, without any manual intervention.
Relevant regions: Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and the rest of Europe.
What is Solis AI?
Solis AI is the intelligent energy control system from Solis that continuously learns from your consumption profile and weather forecasts. Using real-time measurement data and predictive models, the system automatically decides when your battery charges or discharges and how solar energy is used most efficiently. This increases self-consumption and reduces energy costs — especially with hourly or quarter-hourly tariffs.
Further technical details are available in the official Solis documentation: 📄 Inverter Control: Solis AI & More — Official Documentation (EN).
Four direct benefits for homeowners
- Lower energy costs by charging during the cheapest hours and aligning consumption with the electricity price.
- Maximum self-consumption — less grid dependency and greater use of self-generated solar energy.
- Higher export revenue — feed energy into the grid during peak prices and avoid costly peak loads.
- Full automation — Solis AI learns your consumption pattern and adapts to weather and price forecasts.
Please note: for optimal results, a dynamic energy tariff is required. The customer arranges this independently with a suitable energy supplier.
How to activate Solis AI (step-by-step)
- Grant permission in SolisCloud when prompted.
- The Solis backend recognises your inverter and automatically installs the AI firmware.
- After activation, the Smart Control module appears in the app, where you can monitor the AI status.
- Dynamic tariffs are automatically retrieved from your energy supplier.
In Smart Control you can configure charge and discharge times, power limits and import/export restrictions. For a full overview of all available settings, refer to the official Solis AI documentation.

Does Solis AI only work with dynamic tariffs?
No, it also works with fixed-rate contracts, but the greatest savings are achieved when the electricity price varies hourly or every quarter hour. For maximum return, we recommend a dynamic energy tariff.
Do I still need to plan manually?
Not at all. Solis AI fully automates charging and discharging. You can only fine-tune limits or preferences in Smart Control via the SolisCloud app.
How quickly does Solis AI "learn" my consumption?
The system has a short learning period after which decisions are increasingly well adapted to your usage patterns and weather data.
Which Solis inverters are compatible with Solis AI?
Solis AI is compatible with hybrid inverters from the S6-EH1P (single-phase) and S6-EH3P (three-phase) series. Ensure that the most recent AI firmware is installed on the inverter. View the full range of compatible Solis hybrid inverters in our shop.
Are there additional costs for using Solis AI?
No, Solis AI is a standard feature on compatible inverters. Usage is included at no extra charge; the end customer only pays for a dynamic energy tariff with their energy supplier.
Which home battery works best with Solis AI?
Solis hybrid inverters are compatible with several battery brands, including Pylontech, BYD and Dyness. The right choice depends on your consumption, desired capacity and budget. Use our free battery calculator for a personalised recommendation based on your situation.
