  1. To see that setting you need to be an installer / advanced user. You have to fill in a form requesting this access. See https://mybroadband.co.za/forum/threads/sunsynk-inveter-app-delay-and-other-solar-questions.1233835/
  2. Some use sprague to separate the AC from DC within one trunking. Easy to cut length wise and push the cables in. Then cable tie. Wonder if it being cut affects anything.

    Is that a single inverter connected to solar assistant ? We had a similar issue , but that was because solar assistant doesn't pick up mpp2 values unless directly connected to each inverter. Having a usb cable to each sorted that out.
  4. Interesting. Even voip phones etc generally all (can) run on PoE, and they are supplied with standard cat5e cabling. So guess we supposed to be using properly earthed shielded lan cabling or running conduits to every phone, . Hehe
  5. No regulations. Only best practices. Lan cables won't be overheating etc, even if you crimp it wrong, so no worries. Minimal current, this is data. I would use the solid copper cat 5e /6 from Scoop. Not copper coated aluminium (cca). Especially if using PoE and long runs. Just try to avoid running them next to power cables, to avoid any interference.

    It's CT 1 that needs to be changed around
  7. How's the delay?
  8. Works well, just expect a few seconds delay, so don't exceed your inverter limits then hope this device will solve the problem. In your case it should work just fine . Geewiz sells the same kit just cheaper
  9. https://www.sunsynk.org/approvedinstallers So I have experience with some so called master installers still cutting corners and delivering service with a so called CoC, but the reality in fact was far from that. But both these guys I recommended above are on that approved list, reliable, active on the forum and good comms Leshen - master installer http://lumensolar.co.za/ Steve 87 Loadfed.co.za
  10. Use someone reliable Try @Steve87 and @Leshen on the forum.
  11. You can do so, but the 16kw are single phase machines, so on one phase you'll end up having 32kw inverter , the other two will have 16kw. Just make sure your municipal supply can provide that much power
  12. That's not solar assistant counting it. That's solar assistant reading what the actual batteries are saying the number of cycles are
  13. Contact @Steve87 Loadfed.co.za And get him to install solar assistant for you at the same time
  14. What about the inverters which have a relay internally doing the bond then... All illegal? Voltronics, tesla as well..
  15. I've even emailed sunsynk with no response, told them clearly to sort the manual out as well Iv
  16. https://www.wire2wire.co.za/ I have used these guys, excellent work
  17. This is a single phase machine on one phase, with the other 2 phases completely separate. So you won't be able to supply the non essentials on the other phases with extra pv. You could wire them to the Aux on this phase, or have them on the non essentials of this phase which the inverter is on. Your meter is digital and cannot spin backwards like some guys do on the old mechanical meters (although as mentioned above that's not good practice)
  18. Hi Yes still available will pm you
  19. You can use any raspberry pi locally , then buy just the solar assistant software and install on the pi. Check solar assistant website for further details on how to do so
  20. https://solar-assistant.io/shop/products/narada You could use solar assistant and connect to the battery directly for that information. Although I would be very careful with who I buy any second hand battery from.
  21. https://alumo.co.za/PDF/Sunsynk-Data-Logger.pdf It's in the manual of the data logger, see above
