  1. Correct, of the 6.5kW generated from the panels via MPPT 1+2, 5kW - 5.5kW (max) are then inverted to AC, which is consumed by my essential loads and/or non-essential loads (if grid input is present). The balance is pushed to the batteries if required or lost if they are full, since I am not exporting anything beyond my CT.
  2. My setup is a 5kW Sunsynk with 2 stings of 8 panels each. MPPT1=PV1=8x460W (Since July 2021) MPPT2=PV2=8x550W (Since July 2022) All the panels face the same direction and on the same tilt. Winter time in Pretoria data below. Current graph for 22 May 2023 Voltage Power
  3. Also seeing about 2 cycles a day on my single AM2
  4. My 5 kW Sunsynk use to limit my PV input to 6500W. Seems after a firmware update I can now set the max PV value on the inverter(Do not know if it was possible before). So out of curiosity it upped the value to 7500W. Anyone else seen this before? Can the hardware cope with it? MAIN:3380-0513 HMI:0000-E424 Result:
  5. Also a great month in Pretoria
  6. 8x460W plus 8x540W on a 5kW Sunsynk
  7. I installed a thermostat pocket on the one side of the geyser. It is in the port that is usually used when the geyser is installed vertically. For horizontal installations that port is plugged. Similar to the image below. Then used a Wemos d1 mini and three DS18B20's to read the temps, all managed with Home assistant. The DS18B20 slides into the pocket.
  8. I am also using a 5kW Sunsynk. I have 2 x 150l geysers each with a 3kW element on the non-critical side. They are connected is series. The bottom geyser receives the cold water, its outlet then feeds the top geyser inlet. The top geyser then feeds the house. Only one geyser is powered at a time. Geyser controls Geyser temps for the past few days:
  9. Exactly. I got one cause it would give you proper details on the AM-2 and would support remote upgrades via Hubble support. Well its now disconnected and boxed since it cant do any of the two things.
  10. I tried a couple of things, however nothing helped getting additional results/information out of the AM-2. Only ever got basic info like charge/discharge from it.
  11. Same on my side, mostly all info the fields are empty, regardless of view or theme selected.
  12. They could not assist me via Cloudlink, had to DIY...
  13. Same with me, most of the information fields were empty. I logged a ticket with support. Never got it sorted, eventually gave up on it. Hope yours get sorted.
  14. Got up to 407V this early winter morning on my one string of 8 x 460W Jinko panels...
  15. If you remove the display, the outside shell looks a lot like a Hubble...
  16. I am also running P1247V110-12290V205T-0316.bin AM-2 firmware, since mid April 2022. Capacity also set at 105Ah. SoH=100 Apparently this is a new hardware version of the BMS, hence the reason for the new firmware. All seems to working okay for the moment, just hope this is the last of the firmware issues.
  17. Great to know the AM-2' are all good! No firmware updates required on them?
  18. Could possibly then be part of the supposed batch issue of Dec2021-March2022. Probably best to reach out to your installer or Hubble-support. Good luck...
  19. I ran a couple of weeks of SOC @ SOC=55 vs. SOC=20 to see the impact on my cycle count. Could not see much difference, it just ticked on with its random 1-2-3 counts per day.
  20. Hi, how old are your AM-2's?
  21. I am also noticing a run-away cycle count. 2-3 cycles per day. Would be great to know how these cycles are calculated. Glad your hear your system seems healthier!
  22. Correct, mine is at SoC=32 @ 46V
  23. I have 8x460W Jinko's in series on 1 MPPT. Facing north at app. 30deg tilt in Pretoria. Below is the last 30 day performance stats:
