  1. can induction on cables change the app readings - eg cable magnetic feed that cancels grid use kw on app or inverter but grid is used?
  2. thanks will check.. reset the inverter.. and added some nrs in the power column amd it started to work again…strange
  3. deye goes in an sets something then it supposedly works...
  4. having the same issue - if we change batt % or time of use PV goes to zero and we use grid
  5. might have been deye cloud being dizzy but my 16 panel east string (545w) with optimisers showed 9,5kw aqainst a theoretical capacity of 8720
  6. Anybody else got big wattage and voltage readings from PV this morning - pre 12 midday. MY PV readings were at and above nominal capacity for a bit?
  7. just installed and commissioned our system…will check over next six weeks- generating 50-90kwh a day- so should see a difference in a month..tryibg to limit eskom to the cheap 600kwh and less a month
  8.    Scorp007 reacted to a post in a topic: battery imbalance and adding battery
  9. deye or Solare Europe - no one has a individual HV batt charger tester - a big business idea to balance batts here. But Pierre the sparky connects them off load and then they slowly equalise themselves - need 4-12 hrs though
  10. PS - they only a week old (the first 4) then i decided to add more...to get rid of eskom overnight...i couldnt bear taking 18kwh from eskom overnight...
  11. thanks - we have 8 batts now - we charged and ran in two sets of 4.. we now let them equalise each to voltage by connecting them (off load and not in circuit) - we got the voltage to 53.36-53,40 ranges for the 8 - (like a waterfall). we will run and disconnect some time for them to settle and feed each other off load and not in circuit - might need a few hours just sitting.. the SOC of the two sets were exactly the same 96,9% but voltages differed by 0,03-0,04V.. 6 of them are exactly 53,36 and only two are 53.37 and 53,40V. its like 2 of them are HIGH achievers... ps they came from 2 batches 23 march and 28 march. (4 each) DEYE DOES NOT HAVE A LARGE HV CHARGER HERE - BALANCING IS A BUGGER - big learning curve- HV batts on a deye 20kw - have to buy them in batches of 4... as the inverter does not turn on (DC circuit) with 3.... (160V) even with grid ON Lots of lesson learnt with HV system

  13. my ja solar 550 as above has exactly the same lable…from solar europe…
  14. hi bobster…i just went thru the same process…thought of one large battery…luckily i didnt…i instead went for a deye bos system…started with 4 batts …and adding some more now….storage ramp up… i can go up to 12 without admin…can add over time as needed… with the single large batts you will have to add a full new large one so the steps become larger…depends on ultimate set up…modularity helps…
  15. do you only have 2 mppts? what about taking 2 each of north and add on west and east string (mmpt) respectively - then 9 per mppt - that is 450v max? then put optiimisers on the 4 north ones so they dont drag down early and late sunpower?'(depends on panel distances ?) 11x50 - 550v 7x50 =350 what can the sunsynk handle - 425?? check that ps - i am purely a user of solar ..not an engineer but had the same string balancing issues so had to figure it out..
  16. anybody klnow how to charge a deye HV battery individually...
