Hi there,
I decided to go the solar route, I got myself a few panels, Axpert King Inverter, Raspberry Pi and 2x 2.4 Polytech batteries.
Everything is setup and installed, as per the installer its setup to run : "Solar, Eskom, Battery" on the inverter.
Everyone who has an Axpert with the polytech batteries knows you need the Rashberry PI otherwise they dont work lekker together. In any case when I log into the rashberry Pi via the web portal (not sure if this is directly on the PI, and if the PI is feeding information to the site, which I can then access via the portal, i believe it to be the latter), I can see the attached.
The screenshots are telling me ALL the power is coming from the grid. I can see the solar is generating watts, but if you check the solar wats its running on 0. Which means its not being used?
If I switch off the mains, I can clearly see the solar watts boosting up which just confirms my suspicions.
Is this something that needs to be set on the Raspberry or on the Inverter?, I will gladly pay someone to come and fix this if you are in the gauteng area.
