Sunsynk Limit Grid-Export KW

Featured Replies

I'm Eskom fed and I've found that my analogue "wheel" only turns back if I export 3kw or less. When it rises to 10kw or more, the wheel stops.

Is there a way I can limit the solar export power on my Sunsync 16kw inverter?

Thanks! Does that not limit the overall power? i.e. if I make that 2000 (from 16000) would it not limit the overall PV and or load capability ?

 

From the manual: "This controls the maximum overall power, both to the ‘Load’ and ‘Grid’ ports combined. It
is set to Low if an ‘over-current’ fault occurs
"

Sounds like it will turn my 16KW inverter into a 2KW inverter? I just need to limit the feed to the grid.

Hmm....apologies if I led you astray..that's the field I used back when I was exporting. Perhaps it's changed since 

No worries thanks

On my SunSynk 8.8 kW machine under System Mode, there is a setting for "Max Sell Power", maybe this will work?

I don't see that option on mine, sounds like what I need though. Thanks.

Do you mind if I ask how hard was it to get all the forms filled in and stuff needed to get approved for feedback to the grid via eskom

The forms are the easy part. But I've been trying to reach them for months on this, emailing documentation, waiting in calls just to be terminated when I'm caller number 4. I have case numbers and filled in forms. So maybe if they read this thread they can contact me for a change.
