  • Post in thread: Stackable 48V sol char inverter for single phase N-L 230V@60Hz AC in and split phase 240V out in the US?

    Hi, thanks. I'm in Antigua where the mains is 230V@60Hz single phase L+N. All the appliances are US - some 240V, some 120V so I need to get a transformer anyway for the house. I'm not electrician so not everything is clear to me. I know I can have a transformer as inverter's AC input or after...
  • Post in thread: Relay / switch to disconnect non-essential loads panel when no grid?

    Hi. Is there something like a relay / transfer switch / connector that would disconnect non-essential loads panel when there is no grid? With manual override option. I was thinking of something like generator start signal from inverter for NC relay but not sure if it's good solution. The...

  • Post in thread: Solar Assistant Time is Wrong - only the Dashboard

    Rebooting does nothing in my case. Contacted support but after a couple of emails and remote troubleshooting they went mute. The totals are correct - it's just charts - seems like Grafana is not getting the time right for some reason.
  • Post in thread: Solar Assistant Time is Wrong - only the Dashboard

    I also have this issue after installing upgrade to 2024-01-23. All was working OK then after the upgrade the totals had already the following day displayed (showed 30th while it was still 29th) - time zone was wrong which I fixed but next day I noticed the dashboard shows time 7 hours ahead...

    Max 7kW PV is too low
  • Post in thread: EG4 6500EX "output power derating" warning #10 ?

    There is no load on the inverters, maybe single light, they run in the bypass mode so they are not outputting their set voltage 120V. The mains voltage drops briefly to 109V only when they were charging the batteries, and only there the warning was shown. There is some power fluctuations from...
  • Post in thread: Relay / switch to disconnect non-essential loads panel when no grid?

    This is exactly my case - don't want to run out of batteries if someone turns on the owen in the evening if the grid is down and the batteries are half empty because the EV is being charged. I just can't find a concrete product - be it a contactor or ATS. Can't find auto disconnect switche that...
  • Post in thread: EG4 6500 EX Under an Oscilloscope

    From what I found out Victron does not have a "transformer based inverters" - or maybe I missed something. They have separate transformers.
  • Post in thread: Beginner's take on 2x EG4 EX-6500 based system with 15kWh LLs

    Hi everyone. Pulled a trigger on 2x EG4 6500 and 3x 48V 100Ah LLs. I'm doing a new construction so wanted to have this in place ASAP and add solar after the hurricane season. Here the grid is weird 230V 60Hz single phase and I already had to get a transformer - and since by mistake I've got...
  • Post in thread: Stackable 48V sol char inverter for single phase N-L 230V@60Hz AC in and split phase 240V out in the US?

    Hi. Looking for stackable solar charger inverter (12-15kW+ in total) that can accept single phase N-L 230V@60Hz AC in and output split-phase 240V (L1-L2-N), to be bought in the US. Could be just single 12kW or 15kW inverter. I'm getting dizzy from reading all the manuals and still not sure what...
  • Post in thread: EG4 6500EX "output power derating" warning #10 ?

    I've got two EG4 6500ex's output set to 120V. My transformer gives around 113V as their input, but when they charge the batteries (minimal load in bypass mode, new system, charged batteries from 55% to full) the voltage is 110V with occasional drops to 109V. The warning is shown when the input...
