Unfortunately not, ended up chatting with Freedom Won, they updated the batteries firmware, couldn't test though as the batteries were already full. Big props to Freedom Won for their support. It was lighting fast and the gent that helped me was knowledgeable. I initially logged it with Sunsynk, the agent logged in, he changed all my SOC to 90% and enabled grid charge for all slots then told me it's "fixed"... I also changed my aux back to an output as I had it as a gen input, either that resolved the issue or the battery firmware upgrade fixed it. Rock solid again

Absolutely, sweet deals all round

Interesting that there is no LS in Namibia even though 60% of your power is provided from SA and purchased from Eskom/SAPP Agree with recommendations above, Deye/Sunsynk no batteries and the grid as shortfall.

Specs: Sunsynk 8kW - FW M 6.0.2.4 / S 1.7.2.4 / C E.4.3.0 Battery: 2x Freedom Won eTower 5kWh. Seem to have a strange issue that I haven't observed before, my inverter is bouncing between charging and discharging when getting to the SOC set on my timer. Recording of it doing this below. Any idea on why this may happens? Timer Settings:

I can check when I'm home. I would estimate about 2 meters each. I see that people have purchased the plugs and made up their own cables if they are too short. Edit : 60cm per cable

This article is so wishy-washy. Sounds like a butt-hurt supplier who's sitting with stock.

Its possible yes, but it doesn't just take the surplus. Lots of people use automations to get solar forecasts (solcast) for the day or remaining based on hour, combined with battery SOC, Load etc and determine when to run their geysers. Check out Home Assistant I currently run mine with a more manual approach as I cannot specifically define my approach yet. For now - I have a dashboard which gives me the solar forecast for the next 7 days. Usually check this in the morning to prioritize what's run at home. 95% of the time it's accurate within 1kWh. I then turn on/off throughout the day.

Been meaning to do something similar for some time, like the approach of going to Postgres first. What do you use to display these as sensors in HA? The frequency of 1 minute, is this just to reduce writes and storage requirements in the long term? Gotten use to having SA "realtime" in HA.

Love the stats, willing to share some of your config for these

You shouldn't need to convert to kWh it should already Heres mine for PV_Today (Important to make sure your timezone and date/time are set as well!) Here's load -

@Deondup Yes have it all working - You need to use utility meters, Under Settings > Device & Services > Helpers Click Create "New Helper" > Select Utility Meter Can then define the period - ensure you leave "Periodic Resetting" Enabled. Let me know if you don't come right.

If I turn off the fence, the tripping stops, so it is the fence, I could hear it shorting to the stay. Thought it was potentially one of the wall lights has a neutral that was touching either the wall, or the mounting point - which was getting a little current back and causing the earth leakage to trip. Hard to determine though. There are a lot of lights and they are daisy-chained along the wall.

Hi All, So I have a weird new issue - yesterday a branch fell onto my electric fence at my front gate which caused one of the wires to move from the bobbin, causing a short to the stay. The fence remained on, however my earth leakage tripped in the main DB and continued to trip. I only figured out later that it was the fence that was causing the trip. The only way I can see this happening is through the gate DB board (which is plastic). The gate DB has 3 breakers - 1x 32 A main breaker, 1x16A gate breaker and 1x16A breaker for the wall lights. The conduit does run along side the electric fence, although its plastic. Any ideas?

Also running this - no change from what I can see. Anybody get a response from support?

Always fun seeing a slate install. What's your preference for securing the cabling to the panels/roof in this case?
