What's the limit on the amount of panels you can install. My deye 5kw (basically the same as the sunsynk) only allows 14 x 455w panels.

I have the same setup, through Solar Advice. Initially my inverter would trip when I used the batteries during loadshedding with a load of about 2.5kw. Solar Advice arranged for the installers to come back and they changed the max discharge to 115, with the max charge set to 60. After that, I could get closer to 4.5kw before the inverter trips. My BMS also says 50A discharge. I'll follow up with Solar Advice for them to confirm if the BMS should see both batteries. Might just be an inverter limitation in terms of reporting.

The inverter's max discharge value was set incorrectly, after the installer corrected it, the problem was resolved. I will have solar panels soon, to help with load, and, use solar to power the geyser. My house, without essentials runs at 0.20kw, so even on the old element, it would trip at around 3kw usage on batteries. Once the inverter was configured correctly, the problem was resolved.

Thanks Everyone, we did replace the element with a 2kw element. Panels are coming in 5 days. It also turns out the installers didn't set the max discharge value correctly for the 2 x dyness batteries we have. After this, we can run the oven as well. The idea is to be able to use it, when we need to, and not to abuse the batteries on a daily basis. Once the panels are on, we'll be able to run the geyser from the panels and the oven as well.

How could a complete noob get to this point? Just being able to monitor my available units would be a bonus

Hi, I have a 5kw Deye Inverter and when we have loadshedding and the geyser switches on (it's on a timer) it will trip the inverter. This does not happen when there is no loadshedding though. Someone told me that it happens because the geyser's power usage at startup is more than the batteries can handle, so it drops back to the grid, but since there is no grid power, it trips. It can apparently be addressed by setting the "back to grid" voltage to a higher value. Does anyone have any experience with this on the Deye inverters?
