  1. I had a similar problem but solved it a while ago with a 4x 220v relay board (https://www.modmypi.com/raspberry-pi/relays-and-home-automation-1032/relay-boards-1033/modmypi-piot-relay-board). The problem I had was that my Pi connected to solar was nowhere close to the Pumps I run for both Pool and Pond pumps and outdoor lights, so bought another Pi and loaded Home Assistant on it. Works a treat, Have coded it for time only but started putting in conditions that allow pool pump to only go on when it will be for free and there is enough sunlight. Pulled the data from Emon on the ICC which is easier for me anyway than using the the ICC. Next stop will be to put a light sensor on the Pi which will make it far more efficient. Hope the helps...
  2. perfect, thanks Mannie
  3. Hi Guys, Please could someone validate the emoncms value should look like in ICC. I just don't seem to be able to get any data through to emon on local (the IP address is my local ICC-pi Thanks in advance...

    Hi Guys, So i though i would share an update. So to re-cap. I just could get the inverters to go past the 54v float in charging my batteries. I tried various thing from this forum and had no real luck. On resetting it back to the original setting with slight changes to the max bulk charge level and float point (0.2kw) added to each setting. The darn things just started working right. No idea what actually made it work buy hey Im happy its back to normal. Now Im off to installing the AICC Pi which i have eagerly been waiting for.

    I got the 2 inverters so that i was ready to wire up the NW facing roof and for the times to over come the high loads when wife goes nuts with all the appliances. limiting her options there is a no go. let me aslo correct the 400-800w load. This is the idle time and what i was trying to get at was there was plenty capacity to do both load and charge. Naturally when the pool pumps turn on there is a little more coming off. So las night i tried the settings as suggested by Viper_za. let the batteries grid charge at 2Amp. This has not take the the batteries past 54v either. I unfortunately dont have a BVM battery monitor. I will have to get one but would like to fix this without it for now. The Float bug was what i was alluding to earlier and the system started with the two inverters. Im not quire sure i understand what triggers the absorb to kick off. Am i correct in assuming that that the batteries should always hit the 57.6v and taper down to float?

    I believe so, my load is generally quite low at between 400w-800w while PV in is over 2Kw+. I have my panels facing NE and they get full sun very quickly in the morning when the sun comes up from behind the mountain.

    the problem i have is that the bulk charge does not seem to ever get to the 57.6v. It only gets the batteries up as far as float level at 54v. I have seen it at 57.6v in the past but for reason it never gets there now. I have read there is some sort of bug that if the system charges too fast that it does not get to absorb level or something to that effect.

    Hi There, I only have panels on the one inverter, would that make a difference? Marcus

  10. Hello All, So I have had my axpert syste for coming onto a year now. I am a little concerned about my settings and what the right settings are. My configuration is as follows: 2x Axpert 5kva 9x Rene solar 300 4x sonic 250ah running at 48v Some pics of how I put it all together are attached too: Could someone please confirm my setting. I'm concerned I'm destroying my damn nice batteries as my bulk charge never seems to get to 57.6v. But rather seems to stay at the float level of 54v. Is this normal? system set to UPS mode float 54v bulk charge 57,6v charge amps at 50amps and charge from solar only.
