Hi, Yes I'm using that and I've checked the "GEN" checkboxes on those ("GRID" was already checked). Thanks! I'll read up a bit on my specific generator's model to determine the amps. When eskom is offline we do switch off everything which draws significant power (geyser, stove, aircons, etc). So basically just keeping the fridges, some led lights and TV on at that stage. I'm sure my generator should be able to handle that + hopefully charge the batteries a little bit. Awesome, thanks for the videos + info. Lots of information which I'm not familiar with but this helped a lot, will read up a bit more. Thanks everyone!

@PsyWulf Thanks for asking, I believe it's wired to Aux. I don't have a changeover switch where I can flip the Inverter's input between eskom\generator.

Hi everyone, Inverter: SunSynk 8kW Battery: Solar MD 14.3kWh Hoping someone can guide me in the right direction. A company assisted us with a solar installation about a year ago, they did a fantastic job but I can't seem to get hold of them currently so I suspect they might have closed down. They did wire up my small-ish generator when they did the installation. I honestly can't remember if we tested it back then but yesterday was the first time we ran into the scenario where eskom was off most of the day, and I needed to charge the batteries using my generator. After starting up the generator it seemed that the batteries were not being charged. I believe the wiring is set up correctly so probably just a configuration issue. Should the setting under "Battery Setup" > "Batt charge" tab > "Gen Charge" be checked for this to work correctly and is there perhaps anything else I need to configure? My knowledge anything electrical is extremely limited so any guidance would be appreciated.

Battery has been sold. Inverter is still available.
