Sure, I can see if I can detect any AC on the PV inputs. Is there a reason you think this is happening?

That would be a very bad idea. If you did turn off anti-islanding, you would be attempting to power the whole grid. And of course you...

I don't know of any inverter that has that level of control built into it. Maybe someone else can speak up. I don't see that in the...

I like to repurpose things. The two 6panel pole mounts in the background were made from visiting the local scrap yard. The poles are...

very interesting. thanks for the info. keep us updated

Well, you can use the export limit as I mentioned above that limits as a percentage of the inverter's output capacity. If you set that...

Yes, you can set the total back-feed as a percentage of the inverter's rated output. If I set it to 20%, then it back feeds up to 2000...

Initially his response was just pointing out the obvious voltage settings that DO work around charging and battery cut-off. And I...

Agree - it seems to work fairly well. Being able to back-feed my basement subpanel and offset Oven, AC, Dryer, Dehumidifier covers a...

Yeah, this isn't something I want to do forever, but it will do while I look at getting SA working or battery comms

Self consumption with 'advanced mode - zero export' (ct's in the subpanel), will use solar and grid, but no battery Self consumption...

I'm not a huge fan of buying stuff and hoping it works... Still mulling the hub - I know its not much. Another route would be to buy...

Thanks for the additional detail. I'll see what I can find out.

Gavin - just wondered if you have any more info on this. You said you tried to get it working briefly over RS485. I see that both the...

The inveter uses Pylontech protocol. The lifepower4 batteries dont use that. But the lifepower battery hub does have that option. I just...

Just wanted to clarify - today, I have about 2kw coming in on PV. The inverter is set to self-consumption. It is set to NOT export...

@Watts247 - Ian Roux Will these inverters operate to their full capacity using lead acid/voltage settings, or only if battery comms...

Did a little more last night. Couple of things. Good news first - I had the inverter in Self Consumption before I left for work...

I said my dumb ### was NOT going it alone ... 3/4" plywood with 1/4" backerboard, compressed fibre cement board, overlay. The...

I haven't looked at the time of use stuff. Can take a look tonight. I'd shoot Ian an email and ask him directly. He worked with the...
