Deye 5K 2xMPPT/PV

Featured Replies

I'm not sure if I have a faulty unit... Because of roof space we installed 2x rows of solar on the roof 

PV1: 5x panels

PV2: 4x panels

 

Originally they were all going to be in series with one set of PV cables, now there are 2x sets coming from the roof and onto PV1 and PV2 respectively. 

Both sets give proper voltage (at +/- 8am 170V & 180V)

 

 

When I connect PV1 to PV1 on the inverter it reads 

PV1: 170V

PV2: 5V

 

When I connect PV1 to PV2 on the inverter it reads 

PV1: 5V

PV2: 170V

 

When I connect PV2 to PV1 on the inverter it reads 

PV1: 180V

PV2: 5V

 

When I connect PV2 to PV2 on the inverter it reads 

PV1: 5V

PV2: 180V

 

Is there a setting I need to enable in the inverter to enable both PV1 and PV2? 

Thanks in advance!

Rookie Mistake... the ferrule inside the MC4 connector wasn't all the way in

 

New multimeter switches on the display from V to mV and you can't easily see the "m"... so 160V and 160mV looks almost identical!

😀

 

Nothing to see here!!
