  1. Hi @Sidewinder I'll have a look around if we have a copy of 1.46 somewhere but it'll take a couple of days. We didn't upgrade the battery in the end - we think it was remotely done or it was already running on 1.46.
  2. I don't think JHB is using theirs. Our geyser is chowing electricity. The CT Coil seems to be installed correctly. It's there in the 1st picture. All fixing has been put on hold because I'm female AND his daughter. I can't beat the double negative.
  3. This particular item this morning is drawing me pictures. "We're" not changing anything because we were getting small spikes feeding back to the grid according to the JHB Itron meter. Those small spikes and warning messages aren't appearing anymore but we're keeping things as is because "it's too much work to get it sorted." This is our setup: Grid > Cut-off switch > JHB issued Itron Electricity Monitor > CT Coil > Fuse to the inverter > Line 1 Inverter; Line 2 anything else. Thanks for everyone's help so far. I'm going to have to wait for an older male installer when we do the CoC and ask him to streamline things.
  4. @mzezman Thanks! If there's a reading above the CT coil, e.g. 2158 Watts, is that the power that's fed to the non-essentials? So it's not going to the grid? If the above is true could you send a photo of your system flow chart, please? The Father part of my solar installation works better with as much proof as possible.
  5. We want to pump excess solar to the non-essential side where the geyser is (JHB metro installed a separate Ripple Geyser Control System). We tried before and from what was read/seen/done everything was installed correctly but instead the Itron IHD 102 Smart Electricity Meter (2014) showed the excess power was pumping back into the grid. I'm sure it's user-error but I can't tell what I'm doing wrong. Is it possible the Itron is reading the excess solar pumping to the non-essentials? Or is it reading the excess solar pumping to the grid?

  6. I spoke to a very nice, calm gentleman in Hubble Support. R&D is still working on the Hubble-SunSynk connection. It'll be up and running eventually. My batteries are fine - the Bin code errors I'm getting are basically my battery saying it's running on 1.46 & doesn't want to be updated.
  7. I've been trying to get my Riot Cloudlink up and running but the inverter & PV info doesn't show. I checked all connections and they're fine. I contacted Hubble Support who suggested upgrading the firmware on my one battery because it was old and that's where the fun starts. The update doesn't go through despite trying the old and new firmware versions. I'm using the cable from Solar Assistant. Are there settings on the SunSynk I should be using while trying this firmware update? Has anyone run into a similar problem? System: 1x Inverter: SunSynk 5.5 KW (M3.3.8.0 / S0.5.1.3 / CE4.2.4 1x Riot Cloudlink: partially online (see pic below) 1x Master Battery: HL210500**** (this is the old one) 1x 2nd Battery: HL220700**** Failed Updates: 1.46: Failed to request MCU upgrade command 2.05: BIN File Error
  8. Cool - thanks for letting me know - and for the help connecting the riot and the inverter.
  9. I've got it set up for option 2. Why do you prefer it? Is there any difference? According to Hubble I need to update my original AM2 - that's the Master battery - and that'll fix the error but I need to get the older firmware because the newer one is giving me a Bin Error message.
  10. @system32did you ever get this sorted out? I'm struggling with this atm (but with a 5kW SunSynk). Battery info is there but the inverter & PV info isn't.
  11. @opteron47 did you ever figure out what was going on with your Cloudlink? I've got a SunSynk 5kW inverter but the same problem. I'm using the right Hubble cables - confirmed by Hubble, too - but I can't see any inverter/PV information. I can only access battery info.
  12. I ordered a battery and 2 cloudlinks from them. Dev was great, he kept in contact all the time and everything's coming faster than I expected. I totally recommend them.
  13. I've purchased from them once before and been grateful for their info and knowledge. They were right on target with the info they gave me. But I've emailed them last week after no reply via WhatsApp and I'm still waiting for a response too.
  14. Jinko was my first choice because of the good reviews in Australia and because it's a tier 1 but there wasn't any stock when I was looking so I went with something different. I'd still go with them if I had a choice. Or money. Or more roofspace.
  15. I'm leaning more and more to SA - thanks @system32!
