    The DB must just be easily accessible for sparky to work on.
    For safety and peace of mind, leave 1 meter minimum clearance. The machine must not affect the DB in any way. Sparks, material used on the machine etc.

    Siegfriedt got a reaction from WannabeSolarSparky in Deye 5Kva Inverter & Greenrich Up-5000 Combo   
    Morning All,
    Happy to join the solar power backup club but still have plenty to learn, Have a entry level system installed 7 days ago.... Deye 5kva Inverter and Greenrich 5kwh lithium battery with 10 x 455watt panels. See attached pictures of install for reference.
    So far the system runs smooth with no issues. Have one problem if anyone can assist, notice the battery on the Deye inverter temperature show -100c, surely this is not correct? Something that I can check on the inverter with settings etc? Inverter connected to battery via coms cable.. Must there be a separate temp sensor installed to measure battery temp?
    Will check with installer but would like some other feedback also.
    Thanks
    Regards
    Siegfriedt
