docs(solis): default the FB00 template's grid_power to the Solis meter
sensor.solis_meter_active_power (Modbus 33130) reads import as negative and export as positive, which is Predbat's convention, so it needs no grid_power_invert. Confirmed against a grid CT on a live FB00 system. It is now the template default, and the comments and docs cover what to do when the Solis meter is not at the grid connection.
