  1. Thank you, appreciate it, will play around with it
  2. Thank you, appreciate, will give it a go 😊
  3. Hi I replaced axpert inverter with Deye 5kva inverter, everything is setup but I don't no how to easily override set parameters if I want to go whenever I want to grid charge due to LS or bad weather, Axpert was only on app or program 01 select SOL and was sorted, is there a shortcut on Deye for easy change-over?
  4. Hi, I have 15 340W solar panels together with Voltronic type 5KWh Hybrid inverter and Pylontech lithium batteries, with load shedding I charge batteries from grid for 1 hour 19H00 till 20H00 in order to make absolutely sure we will be fine next morning. Question is, can I combine small wind turbine with the panels, rest of setup in order to bypass extra grid charging? weather, wind permitting, and if possible is it advisable?
  5. Mine is linked master port 1 to slave port 1 and so fourth on negative cable. Positive iis port 0 to port 0, port 1 to next slave port 0
  6. Thank you, will check the ports once I get home at end of the week, I do net have the LV HUB
  7. Hi, I have three Pylontech lithium batteries, 1x US3000 (master) and 2x US2000 batteries, one is 2000 plus, all three batteries ADD are set in the down off position, with starting up master and first slave start up, last one I need to start separately, on PI software only two can be monitored. All three does discharge, charge, no problem there, Will ADD settings rectify this, (startup and monitoring) and if so what should settings be?
  8. Thank you for the feedback, was installed last year, I will ask for more reliable capacitors, good news about the intermittent load
  9. My inverter and system tripped, when restarting there was a burning smell and error code 9, inverter will be sent in for repairs, my question is what will cause the problem. For instance intermitted load due to ironing, frequent switch of parameter 01 between uti and sbu daily to charge batteries 7 o clock in the evening in order to have enough charge for morning activities? Shorter charging time than in the morning, or what else
  10. Fantastic, I prefer managing the power consumption like this, one hour at night versus about four in the morning, appreciate the feedback, thanks
  11. This relates to the previous question but just from a different angle, if I set the 01 parameter to UTI at 7 pm, charge batteries from 80% to fully charged, then set parameter back to SBU in order to start the next morning, washing machine and so forth with enough power to avoid grid charging, question is, does it matter if I change the parameters regularly or is it bad for the inverter?
  12.    MartinKoch reacted to a post in a topic: Battery charge cycle
  13. My SOC is defined by the battery minimum voltage, 48v less than that battery warning lights on, on 46v as per default setting on the inverter I get total power blackout as there is not enough power to run the inverter, thus according to me battery defines most inverter parameter settings, had to sort it out by trail & error together with this forum feedback
  14. If someone can give me an explanation please, I suppose it will be the same for all batteries but for me it if for Pylontech lithium batteries. What is the meaning or definition of a charge cycle? It makes sense if the batteries run out at say two o clock in the morning and then gets fully charged via the grid, but for instance with overcast / rainy weather as is currently the case I will set the inverter to Grid at 17:30 in order to fully charge batteries that are 76 to 80% charged, when fully charged switching back to solar first, only using about . 70kwh to maybe 1.2kwh,creating a situation where batteries will last through the night until solar or PV takes over again, saving on full charge cycle, more or less 5.5kwh for full charge. After long explanation, will the charge from 80% also count as a charge cycle? Or even solar charging during the overcast day when swimming pool pump uses more power than what PV can produce until the sunlight allowed PV charging in between, reason for the question is how will it affect battery life in the long run, as the battery life is defined by changing cycles
  15. Thank you, will stick to the current setup then
