It does not switch correctly. That is why we have not yet ported it. we are hoping for new firmware but Voltronics said their is non. Maybe @Jaco de Jongh can give some more info ion the matter.

JDP, test was done incorrectly, we were switching the wrong setting, and monitored for the wrong expected result, we expected the same result as with the axpert and forgot that the gridtie would react differently. When retesting after I figured out what to switch and what result we had to look for, it was working fine. When things quite down a bit, me and @Manie will retest from the app. Will give you feedback.
December 1, 20169 yr Author Hello JDP, where did you buy the 3A PSU for Pi from? Busy downloading raspbian for it. I will get the SD card from Makro tomorrow.

December 1, 20169 yr Just a note. Manie and I are working on a huge project. We are not going to move the Infini V code this year. Sorry.

August 20, 20187 yr I also have the v series and think its the best thing since chappies you can have the grid tie function on or off I run mine in what I believe is called self consumption mode meaning ie it subsidises the solar with Eskom or whatever solar cannot supply it takes Eskom for the rest my main reason for buying this unit was not to cycle the batteries today at 12 I see 10 -40 w at the supply to the inverter, this fluctuates as the load /sun does esp cloudy days im not sure but this could be importing or exporting as the load/sun fluctuates my concern is that my prepaid meter doesn't really care (Hexing type ) but I have heard of others that do and will only accept 40 w before tripping @plonkster wrote this on another thread BEC23 is 40W over a 15 second window. BEC44 is less, though I cannot remember if it's the wattage or the window size. generally the Db is split and my thinking is such that if a small amount is exported from solar side then it will be absorbed by the Eskom side split instead of going to the meter / grid as a buffer so to speak ( usually something is drawing some powersowhere) just a heads up cheers Max
