thanks i think this might be the first route i take to change it to PTC and monitor the usage before i move anything over to the inverter https://xtendelements.co.za/products/

where would i check on my inverter if its configured for export onto non-essentials?

Thank you. I do notice that my geyser draws power from the (PV) system when it is on during the day. However, I assumed it was a mistake because it remains off during load shedding. So, are you suggesting that even though it draws power from Eskom, the Deye inverter is actually supplementing its power during the day?

Hello everyone, I have a Deye 5kVA inverter with 2x Hubble AM2 batteries and 10x 455-watt solar panels. Currently, my 150L geyser and stove bypass the inverter and directly run on Eskom power. I was wondering if a simple solution to save more power would be to change the element in my geyser from a 4kW to a 2kW element. Then, I could wire it through my inverter and set up a timer to turn the geyser on at 10:30 am and off at 5:00 pm. This way, the majority of my water (if not all) would be heated using solar energy, and my batteries would still remain charged for the evening. Would this be recommended, or do you advise against it? Should I stick to the current setup until I can afford to replace the geyser with a solar or gas unit? Thank you.

well the battery was reading at 83% and as soon as i swapped over it to lithium it read at 79% . then the battery "percentage lights " (if you call them that) on the unit itself displayed one had more power than the other by one bar instead of them both displaying they had the same "percentage " like usual .

yes there is a cable and after i changed it over the battery percentage seemed more accurate if that makes sense ? if i call them back they just going to put it back onto battery % i guarantee you that

Hi Bud one last question i changed the settings as you suggested this morning but under battery settings i see lithium mode should i just leave that default ?

thanks i thought this was the case, when the installer was back to fix my issue i did bring up why it is not set to lithium and they told me they have been instructed to set it up this way.

yes they did, thanks il take photos before i change over in-case i need to swap back

thanks for all the help much appreciated, if i do change the battery settings would the rest stay the same such as volts etc ? i would just be selecting lithium ?

thanks il have a look at the time slots , in terms of the batteries il be honest im slightly worried to change the settings there, would there be any big down side to not changing it over ?

thanks for the input , this is how the service provider set up the inverter , what do you suggest i change the settings to?

if anyone has a similar issue my problem was two things the ct was installed backwards and the neutral wire running to the inverter from municipal power was in the wrong place in the main db board cheers

Hi guys, I need some help, I recently had my deye 5kw installed with 10 panels and 2x hubble am-2 batteries and im not sure if the system in working correctly? On the unit screen it shows im pulling from solar and feeding to the grid but my house is not pulling any power at all? and on other occasions it shows no solar wattage at all but its still feeding the grid? im not sure if its setup incorrectly but i have a perpaid meter and not a smart meter so im not sure how its feeding the grid and im not drawing any power? when i have load shedding the system keeps my house up and during the day the battery stays at 100% is it possible its working but just not displaying correctly ? any help would be much appreciated .
