  6. So i am understanding that both VOC and Isc should not be exceeded on the controller.

  8. I have been reading up about solar panel efficiency and i would like to raise a question. I do understand that mppt charge controllers has certain specifications and limitations. So for argument sake a charge contoller has a limit of 100v and a max pv input of say 1500w. So my understanding is that your panels collective voltage cannot exceed 100v and the max power of the solar array cannot exceed 1500w. Here is where my question comes in. If solar panels have an efficiency of between 15-20% it stands to reason that you will never have a scenario where your panels are outputting 100% of their rated watt. So in theory one should be able to add additional panels to your array without being concerned about damaging your equipment as long as your voltage stays within the controllers limit. Is my thinking correct or not?

  10. Thankyou so much. As soon as i changed to the settings that you recommended the alarm disappeared and the red light stop flashing. I have been struggling with this for the last 3 days. So glad someone could help me.

  12. I recently purchased a 3kw hybrid inverter -(Manufacturer SRNE). I need to connect my 24 volt lithium battery to it however when i try to change the setting to Lithium iron phosphate i get an alarm and red light flashing. I have no idea why. I am going according to the manual however i am unsure what i am doing wrong. I have contacted the supplier i purchased the inverter from but they are not very helpful. Can someone please help.

  15. I cant believe that actually worked. Thanks a million. My logger is online and i can now see all the data.
  16. Thanks for the speedy response. I will try that immediately and report back.

  18. I have a 3kw SRNE inverter. I purchased a datalogger to monitor via my cellphone. I have successfully configured the software but my datalogger shows offline. I have gone through the diagnostics and it succeeds however it still shows offline. Can anyone help.
