Hi wonder if anyone has attempted this and could advise. I am wondering how one goes about cleaning, the fans on the side of a Deye inverter. Looking on the side of the inverter I see that the fans are mounted on two plates and each plate has what looks like 4 bolts holding them in place. As per imager below. My question is does anyone know if said plates are tapped to accept the indicated screws or are the nuts behind them. If the plates are tapped I can remove the bolts and the fan plate will come out easily. If there are nuts behind them then they could quite likely fall into the inverter and short something out. Also if there are nuts the inverter would have to be opened fully to get at them before removing the fans. I suspect that the plates are tapped, but it would be good to find out from someone who has perhaps stripped an inverter before.

Cheers thats the exact information that I was after

Evening, I have tried searching but I cant seem to find this particular answer. As I understand it in my deyer inverter under system work mode I can set the maximum power discharge of the batteries for each time period I have configured. So if I set power to 4KW and my geyser comes on (I have my inverter set to zero export to CT) then the batteries will supply up to 4KW and the inverter will take anything extra from the grid. I observe this at the moment. My question is, does this limit still apply during a grid outage and if so what happens when you hit it in the night (ie no PV power). I have the max discharge current in my battery setup set much higher than this. What I am trying to achieve is to try not thrash my battery every night when the family showers, so minimise the battery power drain when there is grid power, but during load shedding I dont want someone to switch on the kettle and microwave and trip the inverter. Ideally if the time of use power setting only applies when there is grid power then that is perfect otherwise I may have to setup a solar assistant automation that adjusts these power settings when there is a power outage or load shedding

Thanks @GreenFields that did the trick - the time when PV kicks in is much more accurate now:

Thanks - as a new ueser I was not aware that this is a new feature - so perhaps I should let them know that there could be a time offset issue.

Thanks - their FAQ does mention to ask for community help here first which is what I did. Perhaps it is a bug in their system.

Thanks - today I did get close to predicted total - see below - I generated 41.4KW today which is very close to the prediction. That is not what I am asking about - I am more interested in why the predicted graph has such a delayed time offset to it compered to what I actually get. This has been every day so far. The prediuction is that I will start to generate decent power (ie over 1kw) at 9am but as you can see at 7am I was already generating that. The prediction then said that I would peak at 1pm but I peaked t 11am. Prediction said it would drop at 5pm but in fact it dropped at 3pm. As I said it seems to be exactly 2 hours ahead which makes me think this is a time zone thing. I can confirm that the actual readings are what I was getting at those local times, so the predictions seem to be ahead by 2 hours. The time in the inverter is set to local time, The time settings in solarassistant as as below, so I really dont know what could be wrong:

Yeah sure it is 16x560W JA panels and a Deye 12Kw single phase inverter. I have input into solar assistant the max solar power as 8960W

Afternoon - new here and got a solar system installed last week. I have installed solar assistant and one thing that bothers me is that the prediction vs actual for solar are completly off - looks like the time is oincorrect or something. For example for today I have this: I have gone into the settings and set the gps location of my house, the tilt angle (as measured on the roof vs horizontal) and then I went into open street map and measured the azimuth at 60 degrees using the calculater as below (red is where on the roof my panels are: So my final settings are: This still produces the prediction above. It very much looks to me like the prediction is being done in the wrong time zone or else my graph is in the wrong time zone...
