I've been told a Solis/Dyness system isn't "AI-ready" for dynamic pricing — is that true?

This is a 2026 sales line worth seeing through. With dynamic pricing arriving, some installers are steering people away from the value Solis/Dyness combo toward premium systems (Sigenergy, Anker, EcoFlow PowerOcean) on the grounds that the premium kit has smarter, "AI-driven" control that automatically charges and discharges the battery to chase the cheapest half-hour wholesale slots. There's a kernel of truth — the premium inverters do ship with slicker built-in optimisation — but "obsolete" is overselling it.

What actually matters for dynamic pricing is whether your system can schedule battery charge/discharge against a published price signal. The premium systems do some of this out of the box. A Solis/Dyness setup can absolutely load-shift too — it just may need you to set charge windows manually, or to bolt on third-party automation (a Shelly/Home Assistant setup reading the day-ahead prices) to do it automatically. So the real question isn't "is this brand AI-ready," it's "how much hands-off automation do I want to pay for, versus setting overnight charge windows myself."

Don't let a dynamic-pricing pitch push you into a system two grand dearer without pricing what you're actually buying: convenience and built-in smarts, not a fundamentally different capability. If you're comfortable with a bit of manual scheduling or DIY automation, a well-specced value system still works on a dynamic tariff. If you want it fully automatic and set-and-forget, that's where the premium platforms earn their premium — decide on that basis, not on "obsolete."
