oh man ?♂️. Thanks for this! Obvious now you mention it and I have seen this explained before. I have 4 pytlontechs stacked. they recommend charging at 25a (per battery) so 80a should improve this a lot. Thanks again.
Will see how this goes before slinging up any panels. But for future...
:) Feel like that every time I check out at the supermarket these days.
Will do some research on it. Yeah I was looking at the 250/100 but found a decent price with for the 450/100 only being 50% more than the 250/100, it would be on order if I can wait for them to restock it. Happy to switch...
Thanks for all your replies. As far as the generator goes it will probably have to be the Chargeverter route. Although I cannot see it for sale in Europe so far. Will keep looking though. `
Mid to long term I will look to get a better charger and inverter, probably victron. Will look on other...
Yes max charging current was set to 25A when trying to figure out what is going on with the generator.
Well I obviously don't fully understand because if the max current the panels can produce in the current configuration is about 20A afaik.
So I don't know where the extra current would be able...
@sunshine_eggo iooks like a inverter generator? running on petrol I presume. Yeah for some reason back when I bought this diesel one I was thinking diesel would be more reliable. But I was probably not fully aware of the difference between 1500 and 3000 rpm, nor was I aware that hyundai jiust...
Hello, noob here. Finally plucked up the energy and courage to ask on here to help figure out this issue.
Been trying to figure out the neutral bond conundrum for ages and cannot figure out the best way forwad.
Living in france off grid.
Bonded hyundai 6600 selr 3000rpm generator (with rcd...
another point is that when running dishwasher etc on solar it all works fine. When generator is going through inverter in bypass mode the inverter relay switches on an off and the batteries end up supplying the power when in high demand.
the dishwasher runs fine from the generator directly.
i...
yes generator has its own ground rod. Which brings up the question if i need to bond the two ground rods outside the house?
yes mistake getting the epever (fml). I will look at victron next probably if it has internal NG bond switching and doesnt cost and arm and a leg. But until I can cough...
@sunshine_eggo "Can you adjust the charge current to the absolute minimum allowed and change the behavior?"
when i reduce the charge current the epever locks on better. the problem is worse at higher current. The main draw being the battery charging (max utility charge) is set to 15amps. if i...
nice to know that does exist. With this I could just bypass the inverter altogether when the generator is fired up. I would need an automatic transfer switch and then connect this directly to the batteries leaving solar only for charging via the crappy inverter and providing power when there is...
yeah i didn't know that it wasnt part of Hyundai. that is a bit of a con. So what would be suitable @toms ? What to look for regarding ac input of a hybrid generator? minimum requirements and characteristics?
Thinking about it I might just throw more panels at the situation so that there is...
ok so ended up getting the MultiPlus-11 48/5000/70-50. There was a flash sale and got it for under 900 euros. Thought it was a con at first when i saw the price but it seems legit. checked the vat numbers and made sure they actually have a building where they claim to do. :) .
will see how it...
