All things Sunsynk (Deye, Inge, etc...)

[furpile]

It seems Solar Assistant is the easiest way to get things going with the Deye inverters, tried my hand at integrating Home Assistant today, with not much success.
Wll worth the +/-R900 for those who bought the app ?

Bought the whole bundle from them and worth it for me. If your system gets pushed to the limit is is awesome to have some control over what is happening to stop the inverter from tripping. I monitor the load and can switch off the geysers, pool pump (and eventually the dishwasher and aircons) to reduce the load. Also depends if it is loadshedding or not. When the grid goes down the geysers switch off and stay off until the grid is back. As well as a bunch of other things you can do. And I haven't even started looking at changing the inverter settings based on usage and forecast.

I don't have solar assistant. The standard Solarman HA integration is more than sufficient for my use case.

My jinne, nearly started a new forum.

Found this one!
Who's the Sunsynk 5.5KW expert around here.. I have questions.. haha

We might have answers, but only if you give the questions. Otherwise the answer is probably 42.

So recently installed a Sunsynk 5KW with a Hubble AM2 - With Sunsynk's dongle

Need to know if my settings are correct.

Feel free to rip me apart if I f'd up

You don't mention panels so I assume this is only a battery backup and you just want to deal with laodshedding?

On the System Mode 1 screen you need to tick Use Timer else the table will not be used. I am not sure what the system does in that case. It will probably try to keep the batteries charged at all times as is shown in your overview. So it seems to be working?

I would love to know how many people got that...

Also assumed no panels so purely backup in which case system is setup fine

No Solar panels indeed, will expand with another battery and panels at the end of the year.
The previous inverter setup was 24V Axpert system.

Bought this to get the basics going

When I swiped my card, it did cross my mind haha.

I've noticed the SOC sitting pretty at 100%, however, at 2 AM this morning, during the loadshedding run, it only charged back up to 99% and stayed right there.

I'm doing another loadshedding right now, will see if it returns to 100% SOC

Excellent foundation.

Guys thanks for all the advice on this thread, my setup that I got on Tuesday is going well and this thread played a big part

Settings look correct yes.

Just some comments, if you have a meter that spins back your strategy should be different to most of us. You basically have a free battery in the grid that is close to 100% efficient in terms of storage. As every kWh you push back you can get back out again while there is no loadshedding.

So taking your batteries down to 30% at night is using up your cycles and degrading the battery when you could just rely on the grid for the same thing.

If it were me I would change all the SOC/v to 100% and untick grid charge on all of them as well as untick priorety load.

That way your battery is only used for loadshedding, your solar will keep the battery full then service loads and any excess will roll back the meter for later use.

Just a thought to confuse matters when you almost have things the way you want them.

I tried this, and I dont get loadshedding, but still have high usage. I have now changed after the last few posts and will monitor difference over this month but utilizing batteries and priority loads

Great to hear and congrats! Now we need photos otherwise it is as if it didn't happen!

Enabled, do I leave the 80% SOC, or does that need to go up to 100%.. might be understanding the function wrong.

If you have no panels then 100% makes the most sense.

14 panels on the roof
