  1. GOOD DAY ANY HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED. I HAVE A GROWATT SPF 5000ES AND DYNESS BX51100 BATTERY WITHOUT ANY SOLAR PANELS. THE SYSTEM WAS RUNNING FINE FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS. RECENTLY THOUGH THE INVERTER IS NO LONGER SUPPLYING THE LOAD WITH ESKOM POWER NOR CHARGING THE BATTERY. IF I USE THE CHANGEOVER TO GRID ONLY THE SYSTEM WORKS FINE, WITH THE CHANGEOVER ON INVERTER, WITH MY BATTERY FULLY CHARGED MANUALLY, IT DOES POWER THE HOUSE IF I PUT THE GRID AUPPLY OFF, HOWEVER WHEN GRID SUPPLY IS SWITCHED ON, IT NO LONGER WORKS. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ASSISTANCE
  2. HI. CONTINUING ON THE ABOVE ISSUE. I FOLLOWED THE RECOMMENDATION TO GET THE BATTERY CHARGED WITH A 48V CHARGER. THE BATTERY IS NOW OUT OF PROTECTION MODE, HOWEVER THE SAME ISSUE EXISTS. THE INVERTER DOES NOT SEND CHARGE TO THE BATTERY. THE HOUSE DOES'NT GET POWERED WHEN IN INVERTER MODE. MY SCREEN SHOWS POWER ARROW FROM ESKOM TO HOUSE, AND FROM BATTERY TO HOUSE, BUT MY AVS PROTECTION LIGHTS STAY RED IN INVERTER MODE.. IN GRID MODE THE AVS WORKS FINE AND THE HOUSE GETS POWER. IS IT LIKELY A FAULT ON THE INVERTER??
  3. what is the issue with using another 48v battery?
  4. is this the only safe option to wake the battery up?
  5. DO I NEED A 48V JUMP STARTER AS WELL
  6. THANKS FOR THE ADVICE. WHAT IS THE SAFEST WAY TO ACHIEVE THIS "JUMP START "
  7. HOW DO I SAFELY DO THAT WITHOUT PANELS? WHY DOES THE GRID NOT CHARGE IT UP AS USUAL THROUGH THE INVERTER?
  8. GOOD DAY I HAVE A GROWATT 5KW INVERTER SETUP WITH A DYNESS BX51100 BATTERY AS BACKUP WITH NO PV. THE SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED ABOUT 6-8 MONTHS AGO. ALL SETTINGS WERE FINE AND COMMUNICATION WITH BMS AND INVERTER WORKING WELL. THE SYSTEM WAS RUNNUNG PERFECTLY. A DAY AGO WE HAD A PROLONGED POWER INTERRUPTION, AND SINCE THEN THE BATTERY IS NO LONGER GETTING CHARGED. THE INVERTER READS 1% SOC OF BATTERY AND KEEPS GETTING ERROR CODE 04. THE BATTERY WHEN TURNED ON JUST BEEPS, ALL THE SOC LED LIGHTS FLASH FOR A SECOND AND THEN GO OFF, AND THE ALARM LIGHT GOES ON ON BATTERY. WHEN THE SYSTEM IS ON AS USUAL, THE ESKOM POWER GOES IN, BUT BATTERY DOESN'T CHARGE AND THE SCREEN ON THE INVERTER SHOWS THE EMPTY BATTERY TRYING TO SUPPLY THE ESSENTIALS WITH POWER, INSTEAD OF ESKOM POWER CHARGING THE BATTERY. ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. REGARDS
  9. GOOD DAY I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP AND ADVICE REGARDING THE FOLLOWING:- I HAVE AN 8KW DEYE INVERTER WITH 8* 550W CANADIAN SOLAR PANELS ON 1 STRING LINKED VIA PV COMBINER BOV WHICH HAS FUSES FOR +VE AND -VE SOLAR CABLE, SPD AND BREAKER. 6MM SOLAR CABLE. AC PROTECTION INCLUDES SPD, MANUAL CHANGEOVER SWITCH, SEPARATE BREAKER FOR INVERTER AND ALSO 1 FOR ESKOM. I HAVE 150 AMP BATTERY DISCONNECT CONNECTED TO THE 5.12KW DYNESS BATTERY. MY DB BOARD IS SPLIT INTO ESSENTIAL AND NON-ESSENTIAL LOADS ESSENTIAL HAS MY PLUGS, LIGHTS AND BOREHOLE PUMP NON-ESSENTIAL HAS MY GEYSER, STOVE AND OVEN. ISSUE IS THAT OVER ABOUT THE PERIOD OF 1 MONTH THE SYSTEM HAS GONE INTO A FAULT MODE FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN RESTARTS AGAIN AND WORKS NORMALLY. THIS HAPPENS EVEN WHEN MY USAGE IS RELATIVELY LOW. ERROR MESSAGE F56DC_VOLT LOW, ANY IDEA WHY THIS COULD BE HAPPENING, AND ADVISE ON SOLUTION.
  10. Good day I currently have my system setup with essential and non essential running separately. I want to know if I wish to wire the non-essential part of my db i.e. geyser and stove to my inverter on the AUX port, do I just run an extra appropriate thickness cable from the top of the earth leakage on the no-essential board directly to the AUX port on the inverter. No change-over switch etc. required? I someone could pst a sketch it would be much appreciated. What settings do I then need to change on the inverter? Thanks in advance. Regards
  11. GOOD DAY ALL I HAVE A GROWATT SPF 5000ES INVERTER CONNECTED TO A DYNESS BX 48100 LITHIUM BATTERY NEED SOME HELP WITH SETTING AND COMMS 1) ON BATTERY WHAT ARE DIP SETTINGS, CURRENTLY 0111 2) CABLE FROM BATTERY PLUGGED IN CAN IN AND CONNECTED TO RS485 ON INVERTER. IT IS THE BLACK COMMS CABLE WITH GROWATT LABEL ON IT (IS THIS CORRECT) SUPPLIED WITH UNIT 3 INVERTER SETTINGS:- 01 SOL, 02 60A, 03 UPS, 05 LI, 36 PTCL L00, 10 4, 11 30A, 12 46V, 13 54V, 14 CSO, 19 56.4V, 20 54V, 21 42V, 43-48 (EQUALISATION SETTINGS LEFT AS DEFAULT), 49 0000, 50 0000 THE SETTING 12, 13, 21 NOT SHOWING AS PERCENTAGE. ISSUE IS SYSTEM CHARGES WITH SOLAR AND RUNS OFF BATTERY, BUT WHEN BATTERY IS LOW, GRID DOESN'T KICK IN TO CHARGE BATTERY. PLEASE ASSISST. REGARDS

  13. the inverter gives a low bus voltage error when pump is connected to it and put on
  14. GOOD DAY WE HAVE RECENTLY INSTALLED A 5KW GROWATT INVERTER WITH A 5.12KW CYCLONE BATTERY WITH AN AVS 30 AS A BACKUP SYSTEM FOR LOAD SHEDDING. NO PANELS. THE SYSTEM WORKS FINE TO RUN ALL THE PLUGS AND LIGHTS, HOWEVER WHEN WE CONNECT THE PRESSURE PUMP TO THE ESSENTIAL LOAD, IT SHUTS DOWN THE SYSTEM, IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETEHER WE A RUNNING IN BACKUP MODE OR OFF GRID. ANY IDEAS ON WHAT THE ISSUE COULD BE. THE PRESSURE PUMP IS A 1.5KW LEO. THE LOAD ON THE INVERTER WITHOUT THE PUMP IS MAX 650 WATTS, SO I CAN'T THINK THAT THE INVERTER IS TOO SMALL TO RUN THE PUMP. ANY HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED.
  15. Hi. I have the pre-assembled type with relay. I have wired a cable to ATS 240V area on my deye inverter and ran it to the EN bond box labelled area labelled 13 and 14. Ideally what guage wire should be used for this? Do I than run a wire from the load terminal neurral wire on the inverter to the neutral terminal in the box, and the earth from the side of the inverter to the box?? Should this be 6mm cable as well? Does the position of the black wire stay on NC or should it be moved to NO. Thabks again
  16. Good day. I would like to know if anyone has detailed schematic of how to wire an EN-bond relay to deye 8kw inverter. A drawing or pics of the wiring will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
  17. My inverter has 2 inputs load and grid, so it will need 2 sets of ac cables to come in. The load output from inverter goes to 1st MCB on AC protection box and then to changeover input. From the changeover output cable to db essential load circuits. From my db the non essential goes to 2nd MCB on ac protection box and then to input on changeover. Still Not sure what connects to grid input on inverter. Do I take the cable from changeover input from non essentials drom frid and carry it all the way to the inverter??
  18. Good day I am trying to understand the workings of solar systems. I am comfortable with the entire process of how solar panels and batteries with the PV combiner box and Battery disconnect are wired into the inverter. Currently struggling to understand the wiring for the Ac Protection Box into the inverter and linking it to the main DB. My main DB board has been split into a critical load (essential load) and non-critical load (non-essential load) with both having required earth leakage protection. The Deye inverter has 3 inputs, 1 for GRID and 1 for Load and 1 for Gen (not using this) I am trying to understand how this is wired via the AC protection box and manual changeover switch. Do I run 2 separate cables from my DB i.e 1 set with wires for critical load which is essentially what the inverter will permanently power and the other for non-critical loads which is what runs only of grid supply. The AC protection box I have has a single pole surge protection device, 2 63A Main breakers and a Manual Hager 63A changeover switch. Do both sets of wires pass through it and then go to inverter? Any help will be greatly appreciated. https://www.solarwaysuppliers.co.za/product/ac-protection-box-incl-changeover/ The link for protection box purchased.
