Thank you. Could you go into the more technical details as to "untick" timer then retick after fully charged battery? Do I leave it off in the morning and say come back at night? This is for a customer, is there a way that I can automate this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is for a customer, is there a way that I can automate this? I would probably just untick 'use timer' before going to bed and then retick it when waking up,that should give it plenty of time to fully balance the cells. Also make sure grid charge is enabled in battery charge menu. I dont think you can easily automate that,it should be possible with some external monitoring/control software,maybe some other members will be able to assist you.

During load shedding, you'll only supply essential loads. This is one of your inverters many great features. Thanks, this does seem to be an issue as the CT is at the first Eskom point and it does seem to pick up the non essential load, but it's not showing the correct diagram here.

dragoon Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 Anyone know how I go about updating the firmware?

Hi Jacques Automating this wont be simple but the Solarman Business app allows you to remotely change these options from your smart device (phone / ipad etc). Could that work for you in this case?

Attached the images requested. Seems like it does increase the charge to the battery, but only when the battery drops below 80%, then the charge goes to around 100W+, but if its over 80% SOC, then the charge is only around 20/30W, which never really charges the battery fully. It actually says to use 53.0v. It says so in the AM2 manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the use of timing the recharging (or discharging) of the batteries? Is that for the purpose of balancing solar recharging vs grid recharging the batteries?

Is that for the purpose of balancing solar recharging vs grid recharging the batteries? My setup has solar and batteries, so I do a full charge / discharge every 24 hours. But for you the reason would be that you shouldnt leave LFP batteries at full charge for extended periods. Maybe someone else with pure UPS experience can chime in, but I would say enable the timer and grid charge, then set all the time slots to 80%. Or maybe do your bit to help Eksom by dropping to 50% during the evening peak and recharge slowly. But you already have the inverter and batteries ... those are the expensive bits. Why not add a few panels and start earning a return? Edited January 25, 2022 by Scubadude Freakazoid and P1000 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scubadude Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I think you could. Deye is the OEM for Sunsynk and you really only need someone with access to the Solarman backdoor to put a tick after your name. Give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
