    Inverter Eskom consumption vs pre- paid meter

    When the geyser switches on, solar and/or battery will only be able to feed power to it if the CT coil is installed correctly and enabled. Your installer can remotely check and update the settings for you.

    Inverter Eskom consumption vs pre- paid meter

    Settings changes should be able to be done remotely. So no need for him to do a site visit.

    Inverter Eskom consumption vs pre- paid meter

    Your understanding of how this inverter works is correct. Sometimes the CT coil is either not installed in the correct location, or not enabled and therefore the inverter is not able to work the way it was designed to.

    Inverter blending power is upsetting the Smeg Hob

    You could always reduce the grid charging amps and see if this helps, this is a separate setting from the solar power charging amps. Ideally though your battery should only ever charge from grid during cloudy days and if you have a small battery then also charge from grid at night after...

    Inverter blending power is upsetting the Smeg Hob

    There was an issue with the sunsynk where it caused interferences with certain devices, so there is now a setting to change the frequency at which it simulates the sine wave. I think it is the one in the attached picture

    Help me start a 5kw hybrid system

    I also thought these batteries were running just fine for the last year after the last firmware upgrade, that was until last week when the soc went up 30% in 5 min with almost no charge being applied, as can be seen in the attached picture.

    Help me start a 5kw hybrid system

    I would prefer the combo 2, as dyness is generally a more reliable brand, but there is also the max discharge rates to consider on those batteries which is normally 0.5c for the dyness and 1c for hubble, so the dyness can only run a max load of 2500w whilst the hubble can do 5000w. The hubble...

    Help me start a 5kw hybrid system

    If you want to spend the least amount of money whilst saving the most amount of money, then you do that by installing enough panels to ensure you don't use any power from the grid during the day, you also typically want to spend as little money as possible on batteries as they can easily cost...

    Help me start a 5kw hybrid system

    Whilst these are good inverters, if your requirement is save on electricity by using solar power then this is the wrong inverter for you. You will not be disappointed with these inverters if you understand their purpose and use them accordingly.

    Help me start a 5kw hybrid system

    You should look at the solar input voltage from the different inverters, the inverters that have a max voltage of 145 volts cant blend solar and grid power resulting in excess battery usage on a cloudy day, the axpert king inverters are the exception. The Sunsyk, Deye, Victron, Goodwe although...

    Have you seen a value increase with Solar install on sale of your property?

    I can say that I am currently purchasing 20% of the value of my solar system less in electricity every year, so in less than 3 years time more I would have paid off for the system in electricity savings. And with eskom's electricity hikes my solar will end up saving me much more money every...

    My first venture into solar: advice needed

    Also if installed correctly the deye inverters can still supply solar power to the devices not connected to the inverter system like your geysers and stoves and aircons, which is the entire purpose of using that inverter and not the cheaper axpert based inverters.

    GROWATT 5000TL Hvm inverter

    Would you be able to verify that option 5 is set to Li?

    GROWATT 5000TL Hvm inverter

    Is the batteries communicating with the inverter via can or 485. I think that inverter only does 485. It could be that the battery charge voltages has been manually setup and it is too high or equalization of the battery is set to run and this causes the issues you are having.

    Installation advice

    I would think that after 20 minutes of drawing 170 amps of current, your battery is getting flat. The alternators on those cars would be at most 90 amp. This can easily cause the amp to burn its IC's or even the sub.
