  1. sorry to dig this up but any idea which columns show the following Volts and Amps from each PV string connected to the inverter. This is very handy to evaluate effectiveness of the solar panels' vertical angle and/or azimuth, or even just to identify a drop in solar harvest caused by dirt on your panels...
  2. back again, so I have been keeping an eye on my system and I am hoping someone can tell me why every morning between 1 and 3 am my system seems to switch over to use my battery? Is it because the setting is 40?
  3. got my access changed to advanced, cant find the refresh rate though?
  4. all leds, quite a lot of the battery backup led globes for pre solar
  5. no not the lights, going to go through all my appliances and see where that constant draw is coming from
  6. ja I mean the only thing we really run at night are our outside lights and looking back at the days before the load goes down at about 6 when the wife gets up and switches the outside lights off
  7. so weird one, we had load shedding between 4 - 6 this morning, when we got up at about 5:45 the grid/system was off, grid came back on at 6 and the system came back online shortly after that... as far as I am aware we had power for the rest of the night last night so I am not sure why we would have run out of battery? The wifi dongle alos doesnt seem to have reconnected since an hour ago? 2305178855-2023-10-06,2023-10-06_share.xlsx
  8. we have load shedding usually on the following times/days monday between 08:00 - 10:00 tuesday between 00:00 - 02:00 16:00 - 18:00 wednesday between 02:00 - 04:00 18:00 - 20:00 thursday between 06:00 - 08:00 friday between 04:00 - 06:00 12:00 - 14:00 saturday between 02:00 - 04:00 14:00 - 16:00 sunday between 20:00 - 22:00
  9. this is where we are now, my wife has the stove on so that would explain the high load right now..
  10. hey Carl, you are right we do about 2880w during midday I have seen it higher. The need for the system is both. I mean load shedding has dropped a bit and I need the system to lower my cost to eskom/ethekewini so a balance I guess. I can download the data export and send that through if it would help?
  11. OK setting s changed, can I ask what the power column is for why is it at 2000 for 6-9 and 9 -15?
