    RBrian got a reaction from Jacques Ester in Pylontech US3000C voltage point back to utility

    Thanks for the info 👍
    9% left at #12 @ 47V sounds about right then 😎

    Hi RBrain.
    My settings as follows.
    The lowste I have seen on Solar Assistant was 46.5V under a +-2Kw load and according to the battery it had 9% State of charge left.

    Hi, I have eventually taken the plunge and gone for some solar stuff 🤓 
    Eventually the system is to power a mission-critical load, an FM Broadcast Transmitter 16.5 hours a day.

    I did search for what I am looking for but did not find any satisfactory answers.
    I am looking to get the most out of the battery(s).
    I have...
    12 x JA Solar 460W panels.
    1 x Master Power Omega X-Rack 5kW 48V MPPT Inverter - Zero transfer time.
    (As far as I can see it's the same as Voltronic Axpert King 5K Rack)
    1 x Pylontech 48V 3.5 kWh US3000C.

    At the moment I have the system on a bench test in the workshop.
    With just 4 panels connected and a 1000W resistive load available.

    Pylontech Specs say...
    Nominal Capacity (Wh) = 3552 = 100!%
    Usable Capacity (Wh) = 3374 = 95%

    Omega X-Rack Specs say...
    Battery Mode Peak Efficiency = 90%
    Therefore 90% of 3374 (Pylontech Usable Capacity) = 3036Wh

    *NOTE* Setting #12 = Battery voltage point back to utility.
    On test from fully charged I have tried...
    #12 @ 48V it did 2.35hrs -or- 2:21 = 2350Wh
    #12 @ 47V it did 3.12hrs -or- 3:07 = 3120Wh

    As you can see 2350 is well under 3036 and 3120 is a little bit over 3036.
    Question > Will I be OK at #12 @ 47V ?

    BTW: Note the little kick starter on top of the inverter 😎
