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

I gave it 5-6 mins. Solar was maxed out at around 2 (it was cloudy) then it started pulling from the Grid. Nothing from the battery.
I will check it tonight to see if it pulls from the battery.

so far nothing, still pulling from the Grid :

Lots of questions.

I'm under no impression that this will give me 5kw but the idea is to get an average of 300w to 500w per hour as a supplement to the solar. Especially at night time or overcast conditions.

I'm in Somerset West and have decent wind here.

Regarding the aux on the sunsynk. There is currently nothing connected to the aux. I don't think I can connect the output of the wind turbine controller directly to the aux on the sunsynk. The aux is only AC input or output. The wind turbine controller is a DC output.

I already have 10.37kwp on the two mppts of the sunsynk. I have space for another 5kw of solar panels but this will need an additional inverter or an upgrade from the 8kw to a 12kw inverter.

I have 24kWh of batteries already which is adequate for my night time usage provided they get charged to at least 90% before sunset. I'm summer and spring this is not a problem but the rest of the time I can't get them fully charged from the sun only.

It's my busy time of the year right now and sufficient sun so no rush or urgency to get this setup yet.

All in including shipping and import duties this came to R35k. I only need to generate 9 000kWh from this setup to recover my cost at current electricity prices.

Maybe an external watt meter?

restarting the battery seems to have resolved the problem, Now its pulling from the battery.

well it did it again now, battery was 100% solar went down, it started to pull from Grid. had to restart the battery, working fine now.
Has anyone experienced this before?
 
Can you share your battery setup and comms screen?

And is there a comms cable from your battery to the inverter? What battery is it?

Do you have working comms on the battery?

I tested the above settings and its not working as I expected. Battery was 100%, Solar production was 1.5kw and load was 1.3, nothing was being pulled from the Grid, I increased the load (turned on my griller) and solar production jumped to 2kw but it started pulling from the Grid.
I don't want that, I want it to pull from the battery

What battery( and how many) and what is it's c rating is it's? If it's low it probably can't push out the amount of power you wanted
 
joker08 said:
Coms connected physically and I can say it's working because I can see the battery status etc on the inverter. Is there any other way I can cross check the comms ?

Easiest way is to check the battery temp on the battery info page. If it's anything other than -100C then it's working.
 
Service error, anyone?

I also have a chunk missing from late evening til early morning.
