Jaybabe Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Hi, Ive added a 2nd Pylontech Lithium 3,5kWh battery to my GoodWe inverter but doest seem to be working. Does anyone know if I need to change anything in the PV Master app config ? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arandoza Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Check the pylon tech dipswitch documentation? It looks like they are both set to the same setting? Youda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, why you used that gray UTP cable to daisychain the bricks? As a 1st step, i would use the standard short black one that came with each brick.

That's correct, actually. When stacking bricks,only the DIP switches on the master matters. Slave bricks will set their address automatically.

Jaybabe Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 Thanks Chaps. Missed the dip switches completely. I selected "1" on the master. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaybabe Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 Guys, another question and some guidance please. I need to report my electricity consumption to COJ manually myself as they are billing me for someone else's electricity and not mine. The meter number outside on my DV box is not the same meter number on my COJ statement. Currently Im using the eFergy power meter that's connected to the inside mains box which allows me to extract monthly, hourly reports which I send to COJ and only pay for what Ive consume and not what they billing me (Which is double my monthly consumption). The problem with eFergy is now it cant differentiate between my own harvested electricity from the PV including what I use from the battery bank vs the grid. Any recommendations how I can measure and separate my electricity consumption from the PV/Batteries vs the grid. I don't see anything on SEMS Portal or PV Master. Attached is eFergy report for this month. I switched over to the inverter/PV at 11H00 today. I don't know how to calculate what I owe COJ now as it all looks the same interms of consumption and Im certainly not paying them for energy I harvested ?
