This is generally why its preferred to have everything controlled within HomeAssistant to have less reliance on the Solplanet app. Having…

Well, that is an issue. Only one stack is online, so your "100%" is around 17.5kWh, which matches your recharge rate and the 95% is…

I think what they want to get is for the inverter/BMS to show the battery capacity (kWh) rather than SOC % of the stack. But no, within the…

This has been discussed in the Whirlpool thread. The installer account is a separate account, which grants total control over the inverter,…

That's already much higher than what I'm getting on EA116. Today's peak is only 16c for me. It was forecasted at 23c at the highest, but…

Amber smart shift is not available yet so you wait for it to be available first or link the inverter to homeassistant and manage it there.…

This is where the marketing material and lab results differ from reality. Spec sheets for the battery module -…

Technically it is possible to get solar recharging on AC coupled system during a blackout, but the solar inverter needs to be wired to the…

For charge - that "should" be Ok but you need to factor in other house loads. Eg if you are recharging the battery at 7kW and also recharge…

For simplicity, the default install option is to AC couple which means solar is still produced by your sungrow and any excess which would…

Yes - enabling grid charge will achieve the similar result, but there's some risks. Assuming they're on self consumption from sun down.…

In the eyes of the battery, the EV charger is just "load", so without comms between the charger and battery, there's no proper way to…

This is purely by choice and the limitations of your setup. Eg - you can set charge and discharge power from anywhere between 0 to 10000W…

Just remember, it's pure speculation. But given that there are also many others here with AC coupled setups and also flogging their…

This depends on the how your switchboard is configured. I'm assuming you're AC coupled, and in such case you would still be getting some AC…

Assuming no solar during that time, then battery will discharge 10kW, the load consumes 5kW, then the remainder flows out to the grid.

Was the installer able to sort this out? The inverter doesn't actually have any sensors for measuring "actual load" within the house. The…

read my post below - but if DC coupled setup - without EPS (backup loads) wired to the inverter's EPS output, if you switch to this mode,…

I don't think they check... otherwise someone would have also told me I was running 2 phase

No. Backup power requires having circuits physically wired to the EPS (Backup) output on the inverter side. Just because the battery gives…

Three Phase supply but using Single Phase inverter and mains. Is there a reason why you didn't just go with the three phase inverter -…

Mine are DC coupled, so I'm not using the PV CT meter, so not sure if the energy meter provides the data for the reading on the PV side For…

For actual backed up circuits - its not possible to tell - whether the front is dusty or not since all the wiring is done at the back, and…

There's usually an entity for power and energy - power being current power - kW , and energy which is accumulation of power over time - kWh…

From the photos in the switchbox, there doesnt look like any auto change over switch installed Just send an email to the accounts team…

You can join Amber with the battery, but Smart Shift still not available. So you will need to do things manually, or use HomeAssistant.

I've found mine being typically around the 95% mark, but it can change since the inverter is more efficient at certain power levels. Then…

Theres a couple of things to note. 1 - the MPPT values you seen on the inverter page is closer to "realtime" and gives you readings from…

For a low usage grid usage - high solar exporting system, its still far better to have the smart meter in place. There's still the fact…

The free 3 hrs would apply to most residential plans, but not sure if Amber will get it as well since they run off wholesale pricing.…
