Hi there. Well I found the problem. Even though the unit was set to SBU from the software, on the display settings you showed me on the controller it was in utility mode. so I changed setting 1 to SBU and then went back to the software and restarted it and now it was showing utility mode. So I am thinking it is back to front., However alsoThe unit was in bypass mode. This I don't know how it happened. I powered the unit off accidentally and then back on and it came out of bypass and now is using the solar to charge the batteries. I realise I don't have a lot of solar yet as this is my pilot rig. I have 2 250 watt panels in series x 2. then the 2 series units are paralleled in a combiner. So it has been charging upwards of 20amps on a good day for a period of time. I know this is not enough to charge the 24V 300amp batteries which is why it should supplement from AC charger. but for it to flick at 6 during the day and off again at 6, said something is not right. Then the bypass discovery. I wish the ICC software mentioned that somewhere in the settings. "alert" your unit is in AC bypass supply mode" Would be helpful. also what mode the unit is in so you don't haver to stop the software and find out. Will mention it to Manie

Hi. I bought it directly from the MPP Solar people in Australia. Yes as I understand they are Voltronic units rebranded. It was working fine I think from the graphs and then couple days ago it changed and now from 6am to 6pm it stays on grid regardless of the amount of incoming PV I dont have a BMV yet but am going to get one as the SOC does not report properly without it. https://iccsoftware.co.za/ has a package for $60 that connects to the inverter. in fact a few different profiles are stored in it and more each update. Great bit of software that links and runs on a raspberry PI and has emoncms built in as well. 24V is no different to 12 or 48 or 96. just a different amount of volts. same principle though. The profile Manie from ICC tells me will work with this inverter. at 24v

Hello. Being a little new to this site, and always learning about solar, I present my problem I have an MPPSolar Charger controller inverter . apparently it is an Axpert clone or similar. It is a PIP-2424MSE1 24 VOLT MPPT INVERTER I also bought ICCSolar software to manage it and use the Axpert 3kva profile to viw the data. My issue at the moment is that for some reason, at 6am, it switches from Solar/Battery to grid and stays on grid all day until 6pm when it drops back to battery/solar. Despite the battery being in good health charge wise and the panels producing 700 watts and 20amps, during the day, the grid still pumps power into the circuit Any load running is matched by grid watts being used. it makes no sense and has been happening for a couple of days now. Does anyone have any ideas, any settings in the ICC software to changge. I can't see any. my SOC is set to 50%/100% at the moment. The inverter is in SBU mode See attached photo of a screen capture showing the graphs Any help would be super appreciated. David
