Hi everyone
I am quite happy that I stumbled apon this forum. I have found some very useful information already.
A bit about my systems:
Hooked up to the house:
3KVA SRNE inverter
5 x 450W panels
1 x 24V Easton lithium battery
Running (or used to) my office:
1KVA ACDC Inverter (Asperix MKS)
1 x 330W Panel
2 x 12V Deep cycle lead acid battery's in series to make 24V
State of the systems:
The 3KVA system is a new install. Yes I do need to add another battery to the system as I run out of battery at 2am every day. (Budget only allowed for one at the moment)
The 1KVA is 5 years old and the batteries died on me in the last month. So I am in two minds at this stage, sell the system and buy another battery for the 3KVA or do I just replace the batteries on go on. Any wisdom or thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Extra:
I connected a raspberry pi to the 3KVA Inverter and put together a go lang app to read the modbus information. I collect it with prometheus and then display it with Grafana. Was a very fun little project. All is running on the Pi4 without any issues. Next is to push that information to Cloud IoT through MQTT.
