ahhh ok yes, just came to the same conclusion when shedding started. Thanks!

Hi there, was just wondering what exactly the ups is that sunsynk refers to?

Seems to be back to normal now..

Also contacted my installer, so dont know if he maybe changed something in the mean time...

Ok I redid all the settings to just the same, and something seems to have changed, atleast the battery isnt draining at 20w now... no idea what the issue was?

Ok i get that, but is losing 17-20% charge overnight normal?

One thing i also noticed now is that the Run led on the battery keeps blinking, where as it was always solid for most of the time before, but could just be mistaken also

Sorry missed your post, i attached all of those.

I mean, like losing almost 20% overnight cant be normal right?

Got this screen shot from one of my friends with deye inverter, you can see the inverter feeding the battery 24w to keep it close to 100%, mine did exactly the same, but seems to have stopped after recent firmware update, now battery is either 0w or feeding the plant 20-30w constantly

I get that, but it never did this before frimware upgrade, that is what float charging was for, to keep at a certain level for prolonged periods of time. If loadshedding would end at 20:00, and battery was at 60%, it would stay at 60% til pv became available

Now the battery trickles 20w into the system instead of the grid trickling to the battery to keep constant charge

Could only find this one example of the battery float charging and staying constant from earlier this month. Since grid charge was not selected in system mode, the battery was kept at currrent state of charge after power was restored.

Screen shots of charge loss was with system mode on 100% for all times and grid charge 1700 to 1800... was a week of rain... I use the posted system mode on sunny days/weeks

The charge loss

Included photo of system mode instead of screen shotting app because it gives a much better idea

Hi there, inverter recently got an firmware update, since then I have been losing +/- 15% of battery over night, check the float charge, and it is not disabled... will share some images

Read that thread, seems to have the answers?

Just to make sure, I also have the sunsynk 5kw inverter and 10 x JA 545w panels... best to do 2 strings of 5 each on the east and west side of the roof?

I already have all the geyserwise controllers etc, just need to change the element to that.

will do!

But if it comes to better power generating performance throughout th entire day? More panels at different angles better? Or wouldnt there be much of a difference?
