Nice going.LOL! The pic was taken late in the afternoon, so far in the 3 days I had the setup the batteries were fully charged by 11:13
12:26
12:14
The standard inverter+battery combo wont allow you to see the cycles normally. You'd need an additional component like Solar Assistant or RIOT for the Hubble batteries to see this info from the BMSBattery took an 18% dip during loadshedding, it's been charging for 4 hours now and still sitting at 98% even after the reset (on the hubble)
Will see what it does on the next loadshedding and charge cycle.
Cycles.. how do you see how many you've done? If it's even possible on this setup
Guessing the Sunsynk wifi dongle won’t do the trick as wellThe standard inverter+battery combo wont allow you to see the cycles normally. You'd need an additional component like Solar Assistant or RIOT for the Hubble batteries to see this info from the BMS
As far as i am aware the new Sunsynk dongle wont be the older Solarman dongle willGuessing the Sunsynk wifi dongle won’t do the trick as well
Which HA Integration are you using ?I don't have solar assistant. The standard Solarman HA integration is more than sufficient for my use case.
I'm using that integration, but I have the single phase 8kW. I simply put everything on the one incoming municipal feed and the other two are now dormant. The per phase limitation (and increased price) of the 3 phase didn't appeal to me.Which HA Integration are you using ?
The Deye I have is a 12kW version (3 phase) - and it seems to be struggling to pick up the parameters (I believe it might be because the serial number requires a different vesion of the HA integration plugin ( 2711xxxx)

Solarman doesn't show cycles. Not that i know of. Riot also not showing cycles.As far as i am aware the new Sunsynk dongle wont be the older Solarman dongle will
Probably an issue with the App.So I've been noticing the Sunsynk app isn't showing all the data. It doesn't want to show the draw from the house or from the grid, only panels and battery. I thi k maybe the wifi signal isn't strong enough, in this screenshot it's got 2 bars but usually its only got one. Thoughts? View attachment 1465283View attachment 1465285
Solarway suppliesAny online solar panel stores that you guy’s highly suggest?
So far I’ve gone through:
Solar advice
Power Forum store
UP5000s are 0.5C batteries, so two in parallel will only allow a discharge rate of around 4800W. Restrict your loads to under that when running on battery, or get another one for 3 in parallel.I have a recently installed 8kVA Deye inverter with 2x Pylontech UP5000 batteries for a total of 10kWh storage as a load shedding solution. No solar panels yet because it is a rental property.
The wife and daughter have already managed to trip the inverter a few times. The Deye then shows error F56 which is DC busbar voltage too low.
What causes this fault and how can I rectify the problem? Switching the inverter off and back on resets everything back to normal but I am curious how to avoid the tripping.
SOC is 90%Where's your battery at when that happen?
I was watching the display panel when they were turning various appliances on, the load never exceeded 4 kVA.UP5000s are 0.5C batteries, so two in parallel will only allow a discharge rate of around 4800W.

And kick the backside of the salesperson that sold it to you without telling you of this limitation.
