Ok, it works fine now. In addition to all the tips in this forum I found something on the 4x4 Community Forum. Cats said: On the Battery Setup Screen - Try Gen Force Tick all except Island On the Aux Screen: Untick Gen Peak Shaving Untick Gen connect to Grid I don't know what worked, but now it works.

I have followed the advice in this and some of the previous postings. The previous posters talk about an AUX port. My 8,8kv Sunsynk has an AUX connector block AND a Gen connection block. I used the Gen connector block. I connected a 1,8kw inverter generator. Rated power is 1,8KW. What happens is that it connects to the Sunsynk, solar switched off, and loads the battery at 600w and supplies 400w to the house. Later in the day when the battery was at 80% from solar the Gen only supplied 300w to the battery. When I turn on the solar the batteries charge at 2000w. Why is the system not taking more from my generator? Which setting is limiting generator load? Gen shaving is set at 1500w. I have turned on and off the 'limit to load' setting with no effect. I have NOT connected earth and neutral on the generator inverter output.
