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

I konw hahaha. I asked it somewhere in this forum... so weird.

Ah, ze Sviss killjoys...

Das ist nicht die Autobahn!!
Let's not even mention it's one of those corrupt ABB / ANC / Eksdom breakers.

Or maybe 便宜的中国人

But not exactly cheap at 70K plus

Cnuts.

So regarding my paralelling two inverters and trying to match firmware, I finally got an answer from Sunsynk/Deye support.

Inverter 1 (older) can't upgrade slave to match Inverter 2 (newer) because of older hardware but it won't be an issue for paralelling.

That last answer was without sending them details of the second inverter. So apparently they can be paralelled without the MAIN_2 (slave) firmware matching.

Interesting....

Thats good news for people who want to upgrade their systems over time. I wonder if sunsynk will go the same route.

Is there a way to get (near) real-time, mobile consumption data using the Solarman wifi stick, without spending more money?

Had a 8kw Sunsynk inerter installed over the weekend. There is what looks like a temp probe still in the packaging.

Installer said it wasn’t needed.

What is it for and is it needed?

Perhaps for running LA batteries, LFP batteries normally have their own internal temperature probes and report temperature to the inverter, so no probe is needed.

Post a photo of it? Don't recall a temp probe in mine.

Usually only used for non lithium batteries - those have battery sensors already installed on the cells - so yes its not needed

After all of that shlep, GoSolr has set the inverter settings back to Lead acid and %... I don't understand why?

Looks like @Mzezman was right, it is a battery temperature sensor. Lithium batteries with BMS already measure this so not needed there. I didn't even see this part, might still be in the box.

Like this?



How real time do you need? You can use HA (updates in 1 min intervals) or Solarman (5 min updates).

Yes, that's a good data view.


1min better than 5min, but also would be nice to get near real-time, like looking at the screen on the inverter.
So I can manage load on the fly. For example, if I turn on load I have to try remember 5-10min later to go check Solarman and see how consumption is playing out with solar vs grid.

Can I use HA without buying more hardware (excluding the hardware for HA itself). Or do I have to drop 3.5k on Solar Assistant?

If youre looking for a DIY option with tinkering involved, you can use a raspberry pi or any spare machine laying around to hook up to the inverter.
RS485 to USB + usb A-B cable + network patch cable = ~R150

Software stack: mbusd/nodered/mosquitto mqtt > HA

If you want a plug and play solution with little config time, then solar assistant is the way

HA integrates directly with the Solarman dongle over wifi.

Anyone else having issues with Solarman app not working today ?
