Hi, That adapter you have plugging into the Dongle, what is the pin out pin in?

Ive got 8x620w and 4kw round about is my max now. Roughly 80% Ive seen earlier last month 4.3kw so Id say ... Wait for the sun to raise up more.

First signs of something wrong is when you notice Ghosting or a floating Neutral. Look for some low wattage LED's etc lights. When Eskom is off, and you notice a very faint glow even when the light is off, it means that power is somehow being fed to it at a low voltage, too low to light it up, as if it was on. I have always had this and never knew why, until I became familiar with the issue. I tested the Voltages from my inverter out L/N and Earth, when Eskom was on and when it was off, any boom. Yup confirmed. When Eskom was on there was Zero Voltage from my inverter out between N and E, but the moment we went to load shedding, I had a 82V reading, as well as a 132 V reading between L and E. Voltages from Mains when Eskom was on was L-N (230V), L-E (230V) and N-E (0V), same with the inverter output when not load shedding. After the neutral earth bond relay was connected, the readings are now the same whether Eskom is on or off, meaning when we are load shedding, I have my bonded Neutral Earth back, and readings between Inverter Out N and Earth is 0V. and you guessed it, that faint glow from the LED lights are gone, all good. I actually noticed this at my neighbour as well when we were load shedding and their outside external LED security lights at 5pm (before they come on) were faintly glowing.

Hi, I can only relate to what I have my system do currently. My source charge priority is Solar Only, but have also pre-set the following: Max Charge 30A, max utility charge 20A. Now it doesnt use the Utility, since I set it as Solar only, but when a rainy day hits, I just amend the Charge Priority to Utility, to charge up the batts. I am also effectively load shedding myself between 8pm and 8am, running totally off grid. What you can however try is set the following: Output source to Solar First Max Charge current to 10A Max Utility Charge 2A Charger Source Priority CSO - Solar Charge first priority Now to charge batteries at 10A from Solar doesn't require much sun, but for a rainy day, this might fall down to 5A, but it will still charge. The moment the Solar falls too far and cant charge up the battery 2A will be drawn from Utility. This will keep bills low. What I want to know is what is the electrical use requirement, do you run total off grid when sun goes down, or do you still rely on grid, and only use the system for backup, etc. Cause if you actually try and use as little Eskom as possible, you can same as I did install a CBi astute at Inverter In. If you use the system to power the house fully, but want some battery charge, just set the Astute to switch on and off between certain times, yes you wont be able to hit a specific SOC level, but frankly why do you really want to. a Cycle is a cycle, and difference between 80% and 90% as example makes little difference. So broaden the specific requirement a bit further. Maybe something I am doing is aligned and may help with what you want to achieve. As I understand you picture: You want the grid to charge the batteries to 95% SOC between 4 and 6pm and then ensure the SOC is kept at 80%, until 8pm. In other words if your system is able to have the battery at 80% by 8pm, you are golden. Do you use Eskom power between 8pm and 4pm the following day?

You have to some how be able to set individual settings

What is your setting 26?

I got my popcorn, interested in whats happening next

@BritishRacingGreen - Can you check above post for any changes?

Just as a follow up, all ghosting gone! Thanks again @BritishRacingGreen

Tested all now and .... Drum roll .... Eskom off, L-N 230V, L-G 230V, E-N 0V

My setup is quite unique as well as my mains ac goes to a breaker, then through a smart switch, then through a over under breaker and then to inverter. The AC from mains to A1 and A2 was taken from output of the over under, so that it incorporates all protective devices. I have so much protection it isnt even funny lol.

Dude you are a BLOODY legend! I will drink that beer with a smile! I will finalize, need to go get some lesser sized wires, for final step. I have enough for Inverter to kilppon but need from klippon to Load neutral bar. I cannot thank you enough and with your blessings I will make a slide that details these steps for other users and future use.

Okay I assume one last step. Neutral from inverter to klipons and from klipons to load neutral bar

100% as per above on everything

Yup 230 across A1/2 relay out

Okay gimme 5

Okay found some 6mm done black on A1

I just want to find smaller black too big

Okay done red wire on A2

Okay relay out no continuity, with relay in yes continuity

Yes I do

Absolutely, I just want to fix it for now and current inverter. I have too many things that needs money, gas geyser, next week, etc, so with this inverter still working, I wont replace immediately.

It would be a for now fix, when ... And only when I do get a new inverter will I take it out again, but currently it is a ways into the futur still as a new inverter comes with expansion on solar
