  1. I can't seem to be able to charge my battery more than 200 watt from solar but grid pushes it till 1900 + watts. Why would that be?
  2. Ok so I got my PV to push more power. (It was a faulty join on the roof) Now I am wondering why am I getting only like 300 watts for the battery to load if I produce 1180 watts solar and use 730watts load. Am I missing a setting?
  3. So the inverter is in SBU mode now but these values don't make sens to me can someone please explain it to me.
  4. @Coulomb I keep getting u03 error when I try and upgrade the firmware. This is the firmware I try to use. dsp_original_71.97.hex
  5. @Coulomb Its wired as 2S2P. Like today I only make about 580 watts. Will it help if I take each parallel string to the inverter with its own cable so two pairs of cables. There is a 2x1 combiner in line currently. I assume I can use the firmware you provided above. Can I use watchpower app to update the firmware? What do I need to use to update the firmware for the inverter? Is there anyone who can maybe assist me with setting up the inverter to work optimally with solar assistant?
  6. Hi all. I have a Mecer SOL-I-AX-5KP which everyone tells me is a Axpert MKII inverter. So my setup is as follows: The inverter- Mecer SOL-I-AX-5KP 4x 550 JA solar panels 2x 2.25 kw Pylon tech US2000c batteries Solar assistant running on a pi And I also have Home Assistant running on a old macbook. Now my question is what should the settings be for me to use solar to First charge my batteries and then secondly power my loads? I stay in Cape Town, the guy that did the install was a fly by night guy hence me ending up here. This is my current settings. So what happens is that somedays I pull 1.3kwh at 11:30, then i get days when I pull 600 watts. I dont know what is wrong , is there settings that I need to change or is this the limitation of the inverter? Maybe the firmware needs to be updated. I am planning on getting a pylontech USB cable from solar assistance site this week maybe that will help. I am really out of ideas and options. The solar can't be this inconsistent, can it?
