Design Software

I don't have access to a Windows machine and would greatly appreciate if anyone can help me and guide me on how to install pmbs tools within a Windows partition on a Mac. Am running VWMare Fusion Professional Version 8.5.10 (7527438) with Windows 7. Need to be able to get Freedom Won Techs to see issues with eTower 5kw battery going into fault mode when charging and then not charging or receiving a charge. When I try to run the *exe file I get an error message as per screenshot attached.

Hello techs and engineers. I have a request. I am not a software guy but I rate myself above average when it comes to hardware repairs on inverters. My challenge is on programming the main chip on an inverter after certifying the old one dead. I need help on how and where to download software for the new chip and installing it. What tools do I need and what is the procedure? A good starting point will be the MC9S08AC60 mcu Thanks in advance.

Anyone that can help me with alternative software for Solar Power Monitor 2.2.81 ? The inverter is a chinise make PH1800. I've tried watchpower but it does not seem to detect the inverter. The only program that can detect it is Solar Power Monitor

Now that I have some spare time during the lock-down I am thinking that it is an excellent opportunity to kick-start a community based software development program for Axpert-like inverters. As this program is community based it will be freely available to all. (We could even post it on Github for all to benefit} I have written some software in Python and Python Gui for the Axpert, but I decided to try my hand in VB.Net (Visual Studio) and I have modified some code that was made available some time ago on this forum that was written in visual basic. I have turned this code upside down to get a handle on it and modified it to more or less do what I want. I am not a co…

Hi Guys sorry to bug .Hope I am in the correct section . Is there a Mobile app for Multisibcontrol . Busy playing with the software.If not any other software I can use that does not cist arm and Leg Would appreciate it.

Hello everyone, Can you explain to me why my two inverters wks 5k do not work on the same mode although they are configured in the same way. the first is in grid/sbu mode and the second battery/sbu. The batteries are at 73%, I should not consume on the grid. Thank you for your help and have a nice day

Hi i have a question for the control board of inverter i need to reflash that control from outside of the inverter but i need pinout of communication of that control board thanks for helping me 20230211_235713.heic

I came across simulation software from the US NREL, and just want to share for anyone else looking for something like this. This is useful to estimate how much power could be generated throughout the year, and what the effect is from different placement of the panels - for example comparing a roof facing NE vs N, or using different tilt angles. 1. A simple online calculator: https://pvwatts.nrel.gov/pvwatts.php This supports basic calculations of monthly generated energy, based on historical weather data for the location, position of solar panels, solar array size. Hourly data can be exported. 2. For more advanced simulations, they provide d…

Hi everyone, I've found this post of @TjObie and decided to try it myself. I am a complete rookie with node-red and pretty much Pi as well, so TjObie helped me with the links to setup steps etc, but currently I am stuck. I've loaded the json file onto node-red, which at first had about 20 missing nodes. I've installed all of the missing nodes except for 2: HIDConfig and HIDdevice All available options to install from "manage palette" is not working when searching HID, and no results coming up when searching any of the 2 abovementioned nodes. Google hasn't been of much help either, unless I am searching for the wrong info? Can anyone he…

Can anyone please tell me where I can get / download SolarMon software. From what I have read here is that it is the best. Cant find it anywhere?

Anyone aware of something like this? Just talking in terms of perhaps choosing the main components and it would output the results in terms of uptime under certain load, etc. Perhaps even a bill of materials of common parts that need to be installed along with the main ones. Thank you

I decided to design my own little system in python gui. pyQt4 It took me some time to master it , but I reckon in the end I will have a system that meets my requirements. It is still not finished but now that I have finally come to grips with PyQt4 it is going much faster...

Hi .. I am maintaining a system for a client that had 2 mks inverters paralled for optaining a single phase system and asked to add a 3rd mks. Error 71 accured and foynd out that firmware for inverters are as following 52.30 73.00 74.30 And going back to compatability rule i realized that i nead to change at leat firmware 74.30 to 72.61 And i asked a programer to do that for me and everything was o.k I need help to do that firmware updating by myself .. what are the tools and where can i dounload reflsh software and where can i find the firmware versions to download.. and can i back up a firmware from a inverter befir flashing i…

I show an screen copy and a short screen video of software in development, the video is in .flv format. The tests so far have been satisfactory. 2019-08-17 12-16-59.flv

Greetings, I'm looking for software including online tools that I can use for designing solar panel ground mount structures. I need to fabricate a mild steel structure on open ground for 15 No. 2 by 1 meter modules in 5 horizontal rows of 3 landscaped modules using mild steel angle and T bars supported by universal steel beams 3 meters above ground in concrete foundation. What do you folks use or recommend? Thank you.

I have been designing systems and discovered that clients can change the goalposts sometimes more than once a day. I was using the Midnight solar sizing tool and ended up tired of re-entering panel specs. So I designed my own. The yellow fields are for the user to alter. There is a drop down list of inverters and if your inverter is not on the list you can go to the inverter sheet and add your own specs. The same with panels there is a open column to add your specific panels. Canadian solar 260W and probably 265W are set to disappear from our shores so I will remove them from the list and add others. Having set you inverter then you can set minimum and maximum …

I think we need a specific topic for discussing the Victron ESS functionality.Here is what it is all about: https://www.victronenergy.com/live/ess:design-installation-manual What is ESS? An ESS (Energy Storage System) is a grid-tie installation, incorporating solar and battery-storage, which behaves as though it were an off-grid installation …thereby enjoying the best of both worlds. When it is able to produce more power than it can use and store, it sells the surplus to the grid; and when it has insufficient stored power, it buys electricity from the grid. This is available from using a combination of standard multipurpose Victron products, setup with an ESS configurat…

Hi may 2019 be a good year for all of the Forum . Bought a Arduino Uno 3 but cant get it going . Have a problem to get a port connection . I am using the USB cable that came with the Uno . Installed on a Laptop and later on a PC still the same problem . Also down loaded another driver but still don't connect . Please help .

hi! apart from icc, is there any other sw which can achieve time control on the axpert 5kva?

Hello everyone, any one know apple software or android software for Voltronic Infini inverter to monitoring power, consumption or anything load through the inverter, like shinewifi from growatt please share with me Thank you alkafa

Gm PF, A circuit diagram is required for layout of your system.I have downloaded Designspark and Smartdraw on a trial. What are the good ones out there that don't cost any arm or a leg? Thanks.

New to the forum and just got my solar system running. My system has 6x330w panels linked in parallel, 5kw Axpert inverter and 2 Pylontech batteries. Just got the ICC software up and running but only the battery info is displayed on Dashboard 2. The supplier gave me the ICC system but I cannot get it to work What must I change to get all the other info thanks Leon

Wow take a look. http://www.homerenergy.com/ Jay
