Alex vZ got a reaction from Yellow Measure in Kodak OG-Plus 5.48 (King) not using Solar for loadsHi, yup sorry bud, I have given up trying to get it to work. The manual blatantly lies about its capabilities. Had a lot of arguments and even returned it to Solar & Inverter Warehouse in Joburg and they told me they would replace it. They gave us the the exact same one back with the same serial number and it still did not work. Some of these guys are only out for a quick buck (it is probably going to get worse with all the loadshedding) and don't care about the rubbish they sell you (quite arrogant about it as well). Last message the one guy that was helping out a little at least told me he would discuss a refund but still have not heard from him. I left it because it was not worth my time anymore.
Anyway, the best I can do is to tell you to run it as follows:
Output source priority - SBU (not SUB)
Operation Logic - Auto
Charger source priority - SLB UDC (if you do not want Utility to help charging the battery)
This should then use Solar when available to charge the batteries and to supply the loads and if the solar is not enough then it will dig into the battery supply. When the battery gets to low for my taste, I switch it over to ECO (bypass) mode. The inverter seems to use 40watt when in Eco mode and 100watt when in line mode.
In case you are using a PylonTech battery, also made some changes there suggested somewhere on this forum about the voltage settings. When "Pylon" was selected as the battery type it constantly cycled it between 99% - 100% which I was not a fan of. The battery does not count it as a cycle each time it does that (not sure how they determine when it actually cycled) but still it was a bit weird
