  1. Did you get the Turbine working on the Sunsynk? If so, which Turbine did you use. Looks like there is not much success stories for Turbines onto the Sunsynks?
  2. Net ;n update, alles is toe reg. Ek het nie besef die inverter combine nie die report load. As ek die load combine van die 2 inverters match alles 100% op.
  3. Morning all, thank you for the reply. The system is on the farm at my parents, so I needed to get the photos first. The batteries are connected via the Victron Lynx distributed (This photo was taken during installation). Here is all the photos:
  4. Hi All, I have 7 Greenrich batteries on 2 parallel 12kW Sunsynk inverters off grid mode. Every morning the batteries is about +-38%, which according to me is to low. If I look at my stats, I use max 15kW of power a day out of the batteries. Should the SOC not be something like 57% (15kw is 43% of 35kW). For me it looks like 2 batteries are not working, because 15kW is about 60% of 25kW. Am I correct in saying this or what am I missing please?
  5. Hi All, Can someone please explain to me what is the "Correction Capacity" show below vs Capacity? I can't seem to find that in any manual and I am not sure if this is now a issue or not. It is 7 x Greenrich batteries. Thank you.

  7. Hi all, I have a weird issue again. Since my gate motor, Gemini, is on the Inverter, it keeps on blowing fuses on the PSU of the gate motor and now eventually the PSU itself. Question, I see the Inverter output is 240V, where can I adjust that to say 230V? Is 240V not to high? Thank you
  8. Ok thank you very much, I will try it tomorrow.
  9. Hi sorry, but this discharge issue is making me old before my time. Like I said, looks like if the SOC is <90% the Inverter stop using the battery for supplying power to the non-essentials. Only issue I have now is, when the PV charge the battery up to 100% and for example the wife switch on the tumble dryer and Steam iron, the non-essential obvious jump to +-5kW. Now the issue is, when PV is low and battery 100%, the inverter discharge the battery at 4000kW to the non-essential and not taking power from the grid until SOC is 90%. How can I limit that 4000kW, because I can't think that is good for the battery? I was thinking in turning down the discharge amp in the battery setup, but then I limit myself during load shedding. Please help, I am busy loosing it here, lol. Appreciate the help so far
  10. Hi yes that screen change basically daily based on the weather and load shedding schedule. I think that day was cloudy or rain, can't remember.
  11. Hi Guys, I think I have figured it out, because the inverter is now working properly. Here is my 2c: I think it has to do with the BMS that does not want to float the battery at 100%. If I make my SOC 90%, the battery will discharge to 90% and stay there. It will then draw power from the grid if the PV is not enough and not from the battery as previously on 100% SOC. Only issue now is, the battery charge between 90 SOC and 100SOC the whole time when there is PV available. Thus not sure if that might be a issue for the battery life span. Thanks for the assistance.
  12. Where do I get this screen on the sunsynk app or web page? I have been searching for it, but can't find it
  13. Hi Guys, please help, still not winning. Either I don't understand the Inverter or it is not working correctly. I have set my SOC to 100%, Grid tick on all and untick "Priority to Load". Every time my total load (non-essentials + essentials) is more than the PV, the Inverter still start to discharge to battery, but only at a small amount, +-500W and will draw nothing from the Grid or very little from the grid.
  14. Thanks, yes my Time settings is correct and no I don't do any peak shaving. I see it is behaving now. I have changed the SOC from 100% to 99%, for some reason now it doesn't draw any power from the battery as it should. I will monitor it over the weekend.
  15. Must I use the Timer? I see if I untick "Use Timer" and press "OK". When I enter back into the menu, the use timer is tick again. It almost looks like if the timer is stuck on a previous setting when I had all at 95%
  16. Hi, I have ticked the Grid now on all the timers, but the Inverter still draw power from the battery. What I noticed is that is that it is always +-520W, so not sure if there are a setting I am missing
