Fox-ZW Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Afternoon, Has any one worked out how to get a phocos inverter to "talk" to the pylon tech batteries? I have tried the firmware update and the entered manual settings, however the batteries indicate full charge and the inverter indicates 33% charge. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfred Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Hi, Even the Axpert inverters are way off with SOC determination. What are your settings currently... back to grid/back to battery/bulk and float charge and cut-off. Do you have any way of monitoring? Why I am asking, if not enough PV they should switch and charge from grid between 30-20% SOC. When PV kick in they will charge as long as there are PV available, but will not charge from grid if above the 30-20% as I mentioned above. The batteries should manage themselves even when not communicating with a RS485 cable. I found that they can hover at 48V for a very long time (around 2-3 hours maybe more, depending on load).

I have tried the firmware update These seem to be Axpert "work-alikes". Did you use Phocos firmware or Axpert firmware, or are they not that compatible? Is yours a PSW-H model?

Hello Would greatly appreciate understanding how you set-up your geysers "off-grid" indicated in your Spec below and how you managed to significantly lower your consumption: I have just installed the following: 5740 Kw PV Array + 5KW Phocos Inverter + 7Kwh Pylontech US3000 I have not connected my 200L geysers through Inverter (isolated the circuit, so powered direct from grid), though would be interested to know how the Geyser-wise functions and whether I could connect atleast 1 geyser through Inverter. Other High-powered loads I have are: Booster Pump, Borehole Pump, Lawn Mower, Iron, Microwave Kindly advise if your Inverter has Over-ride Timers to manage loads during the day. I.e My setting is SBU (Solar-Batt-Utility) Thanks Off-grid 7.56 kW PV array, 2x Synapse 5.0K+ 5KW 48v in parallel (aka Axpert KING) (FW 71.70) 01-SBU, 02-40A, 11-10A, 12-48v, 13-51v, 16-SLb/UCb, 26-53.2v, 27-53.2v, 29-45.5v EMS 48100a1 9.6kWh li-ion 100Ah 48v Huawei (was a nightmare), 14 kWh Pylontech US3000 (most times fully charged at 12:30) 2x 200 liter electrical geysers (2kW element) in series with geyser-wise, powered by solar from 8:45 - 14:15, Gas hob, oven bypassed to grid directly. monitoring still an issue (ICC with Pylontech cable), grid use down to +- 35kWh per week (from +-32kWh per day), some kinks to resolve, hope for 12kWh per week (6kWh for week ending 01-12-2019).

Dewera solar system Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I have 5 x UP5000 pylontech batteries and 20 x400w panels connected through 2x 5kva phocos inverters.The battery SoC always get to 70% and never beyond. When the sun sets the battery SoC drops sharply to about 33% or 34%. In the morning the battery SoC will be indicating 30%. 1. What could be causing the battries to fail to charge beyond 70%. 2. Why does the battery drop sharply from the 70% to 33%? I will be grateful if anyone can assist me on these two issues. NB: the system is 2 weeks old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
