I finally have an authoritative answer for one of the most oft asked questions. I borrowed an spl meter and can confirm that fan noise of my 8kW Deye is 75dB adjacent to the fans, and this drops off to 60dB at 1m.

Pull it out and plug back in, this should prompt the hotspot to come on?I have a problem with my Sunsynk data logger reporting only very sporadically over the last three weeks or so. Even when I can see the device on the network, I usually don't get any information from the app or the website. It will report a couple of times a day without any kind of intervention, but then it just seems to go offline for no reason. I thought it might be the Sunsynk servers but this has been going on way too long.
I thought I'd go through the setup process again but I don't see the "EAP-XXXX" connection when I do a wifi search. Any bright ideas from anyone on what might be wrong and what I can do to fix it?
That is very nice yesI like this

My Sunsynk 8kw silence hack
Hi Everyone, Thought I'd share this because I have noticed a few people concerned or frustrated with the fan noise from the 8kw Sunsynk inverter. I couldn't install my inverter in the garage because I do a lot of woodwork in there and I know the dust would cause issues in the fans and heatsinks. ...powerforum.co.za
That should work. The signal is fair, not great but I haven't had an issue for the 9 months before that since installation.Pull it out and plug back in, this should prompt the hotspot to come on?
Hows the wifi signal there?
OK, so next step is to determine why the BMS is limiting you to 10A. Your dealer / installer may have more info on this.
Why is it set to 105 Ah when it’s clearly a 100 Ah battery?
Bear in mind during load shedding you have a maximum of 4.8 kW you can discharge…which is incredibly high for a single battery mind you.
Thanks for the guidance - I will reach out to them tomorrow. Since they’ve not been incredibly responsive to my first questions, I’m hoping that a direct question will get better results.
All the settings are still as set by the installer, and this is the first time I went digging in the menus. Unfortunately I don’t know - I would like to assume that they had a good reason, but after this weekend I have my doubts.
If you do not export that will be all you can get.I’ve noticed with my system that the pv input will only ever match the load and doesn’t show the total output. Is this normal and is there a way to get it to show the total generation even if it’s not used?

Guys, I decided that my SunSynk needs more panels. They just arrived....

Locally on the SD cardDoes solarassistant store usage data locally, or in the cloud?
Finding solarman keeps having more frequent data drops - probably Afrihost shitty internet - which I'm hoping to avoid with solarassistant.
For some reason loading Solar Assistant directly is slow for me. Loading from their website is ok, connecting directly to the pi with its IP address is slower. I don't know if the Orange Pi they sold has a resource bottleneck?Does solarassistant store usage data locally, or in the cloud?

However, the MQTT data going to Home Assistant has zero issues so you will have all the data available there as well.

Thanks, did a restart last week due to networking issues. The top section with the current values load quickly, the graphs take a bit longer to load. Not sure if that is normal?I find restarting mine fixes these types of issues
