I'm a "eppie' in solar systems...Solar:- 6x365 Canadian coupled 3 in series and the 2 rows in parallel.
I begin with a us2000b pylontech battery and a 5 kWh Mecer Inverter.My inverter settings according to Mustek Cape Town were not correct although the system worked for +- 5 months.
I switch off Escom power before switching on inverter in morning when sufficient energy was obtained from the panels.
The panels give enough energy for the house usage but I could not use the geyser - 3 kW element. I heat up water after I switched back to Escom.
I was not sure if I could use Escom and Solar simultaneously - reason for switching.I worked outside and by entering the house the Inverter alarm was on and battery at only one LED emmiting + the Alarm.
Question:- battery still under quarentee and to whom can I send it for check-up - DO NOT CHARGE.

4x US2000 Plus Pylontech batteries
Settings on inverter:-
02 - 30A 22 - AON 40 - Nrt
05 - PYL which adjust 02, 26, 27 29 automatically 23 - bYE 93 - Nrt

16 - SbL 34 - EU (54V)
18 - bON 35 - 60 MIN
19 - tEP 36 - 30d

The inverter do not charge the batteries from the PV panels 169V input
The inverter do not use PV for house usage but drain the batteries
My PC is connected via a RJ45 cable made up by computer tech
5. Code Reference: received 61 alarm which is a communication loss between batt. and inverter
The above settings is more or less the same that i used on the Mecer 5kVa inverter which use Solar during the day and battery supply power during night
Power consumption is 12 kWh / 24 period this include a 150 liter geyser with a 3kW element
