Hello,
i'am from Berlin / Germany and after some weeks of only reading this interesting forum, one question / problem occurs.
I set up an off-grid solarsystem with the Axpert VMIII Twin because it has a wide mppt Range from 60 to 455 V. So i remain flexible with the solar-panels.
An why 24V? According to the datasheet, the Twin 4kW/24V consumes "only" 40 Watts without load, the bigger 6kW/48V needs 55Watts.
In my small system this ist probably better.
And i need maximal 2000W.
Now my story:
In the last weeks i installed the Inverter "VM III TWIN 4k" + Pylontech Batteries + Solarpanels (2*455W,50V/9A).
At Friday,18.3.2023, i put the system into function. Everything works fine.
But in the night to monday,20.3.2023 shuts the Inverter down,after the battery capacity fell below the set value. The grid voltage to the inverter was switched off.
So far everything seemed fine, the installed automatic transfer switch is switched to the "normal" grid.
But this morning i went to the basement, where the system ist and (one relay? in )the axpert clicks regulary because the solar power is not yet sufficient for regular operation.
Unfortanely the display shows error "F09". I looked it up on google and the power transistors were given as the cause of the error. However, the device did not generate any significant power and so this error seemed unlikely to me.
I swiched the grid voltage to the inverter and the pylontech's on, so that der inverter has enouch energy to start up and luckily i found him in the WatchPower - App. In this app i restored the parameters to default and everything looks fine.
Oddly enough, the serial number of the inverter ich changed to " 55355535553555"
Is that a problem for me? Can i restore the old serial number? I contacted the dealer of this device, "Solarpower24.it", he is located in italy, but i didn't get any reply.
I also build an Interface with an ESP32 to communicate with the inverter, but i found not the complete command set for this specific device.
I used "wireshark" to read the communication between the Axpert (WIFI-Interface is inclusive) and the Android App, and extracted some commands.
Thank you!
Peter
