Exporting with a limit (5kw SynSynk)

Featured Replies

Hi Everyone.

So finally I got the go ahead from my local municipality to feed back into the grid but according to them I have to limit my export.

See extract from the letter they provided.

Setup is as follows.

5KW Synsynk

7 x 380W JA Solar panels

5.5KW Hubble Battery.

So I dont see a setting as to "limit" the export.  Although the last firmware update was some time ago.  I am currently on Ver. MCU3382-0513

Appreciate everyone's help.

I'm assuming you won't be setting up to export battery power to the grid, only solar. And that you've got a 60A main circuit breaker. If not, the values below will change.

Simplest thumbsuck would be under the Battery Settings to set the battery charge current limit to around 65A. And you almost don't need to worry bout the export limit, since you've got only 2660W of panels connected, but it should be possible under the grid settings, to find a grid sell limit setting, which you could set to 3500W for in case you intend to add panels. In principle.

 

On my 5kW Sunsynk model with recent firnware, it appears that "Export Power Limiter" under System Mode --> System2 should do the trick, if you want to be on the safe side (or if you ever add more panels in future).

Older firmware called this setting "Max Sell Power."

This may be helpful for real-world feedback from members that've tried this:

Ok.  I don't have that under my current firmware.  I will just get a quick update then.  Luckily I am 1 who likes updates.  Phone, PC, whatever. 🤣

Not at this stage.  I have a gut feeling that Loadshedding will make a return.  But for now, I just want to discharge the battery at night (22:00 - 06:00).  But i think it will discharge the battery to the grid then unless I check back the zero export.  Am I right to assume that?
