    Any Thermal Management Issues with Deye SUN-16K-SG01LP1-EU?

    Evaluating whether to purchase this single-phase hybrid inverter Deye SUN-16K-SG01LP1-EU. Has anyone experienced any thermal issues when the ac output load is high like close to maximum capacity (16kw)?

    BMS For Monitoring in Victron Cerbo GX Only

    Note that the update software is for the Com-Box only and NOT for the battery (BMS) itself. The file name is 120-200177-01(GD305COMBOX_V102_20230904)_2.zip so I guess it is version 102.

    Felicitysolar Lithium Battery Communication with Victron Cerbo GX

    The invoice for the Com-Box did include part number. The description is FS Com-Box. Not sure if it is the solution for your application. You may want to contact chelsea.wu@felicitysolar.com with description of your request / the solution you want.

    BMS For Monitoring in Victron Cerbo GX Only

    Update 4: It seems my tribulations on this subject are over. FS sent me software that I used to update the Com-Box (had to install a driver mscomm32.ocx on my laptop before the connection to the Com-Box could work) and for the first time ever, I have all readings (Voltage, current, power and...

    Felicitysolar Lithium Battery Communication with Victron Cerbo GX

    Please provide details of how it worked and in which installation. Did it correctly display battery status on Cerbo GX?

    BMS For Monitoring in Victron Cerbo GX Only

    Works perfectly. At least I can see the accurate SoC from the unlisted (per Victron) battery bank/BMS in VRM. Update 1: Works only in terms of display without taking over control. The SoC readouts are unreliable / wrong. I connected to the same batteries with my laptop using FS EDMS and the...

    BMS For Monitoring in Victron Cerbo GX Only

    Got the answer shown below in Victron community forum that it is possible. Will try and see if it works. Thanks all. "Settings, DVCC, Controlling BMS, set to : No BMS Control. After connecting your BMS, check in your Victron Charge controller / MPPT, Networked operation: Not BMS controlled...

    BMS For Monitoring in Victron Cerbo GX Only

    I want to connect by lithium battery packs BMS to Cerbo GX (via a BMU /BMS CAN or VE CAN) for monitoring the SOC of my battery packs ONLY. I don't want the BMS to take over control of the Cerbo GX. I want control to remain under DVCC. Please is this okay and possible? Has anyone done this? Would...

    Victron Solar Production Forecasting Widget Not Showing on VRM Advanced Page

    Yes solar Forecast was showing. None of these is the issue. Now resolved. Didn't know I had to manually select the widgets that will display on the advanced tab. Now done and everything I want is showing. Did not do that for the other site. Have now rationalized the widgets for the other site...

    Victron Solar Production Forecasting Widget Not Showing on VRM Advanced Page

    I have solar production forecasting configured and working on two virtually identical sites (same suite of Victron equipment and networking). On one of the sites everything is working as expected. On the other site, though solar forecasts are showing on the main VRM page, there is no ‘solar...

    Felicitysolar Lithium Battery Communication with Victron Cerbo GX

    Update: There are still pending issues with the FS BMS showing wrong current / wrong power measurement as if I have only two battery packs in parallel while I have four battery packs in parallel. This made me revert back to Victron DVCC again. Above picture shows how the 4 nos. 10kwh FS...

    Felicitysolar Lithium Battery Communication with Victron Cerbo GX

    Already passed that stage. Communication already established using a special FS Com-Box. See my other updates above. Thanks.

    Quattro Installed On It's Back. Has issues. Could it be Factory Fault?

    Thanks. For now, I really am concerned only about the newer one that's now consuming almost double the spec value as confirmed by battery BMS, smart shunt and use of my back inverter (8kw Sorotec). I could investigate the cool one later if I have time.

    Quattro Installed On It's Back. Has issues. Could it be Factory Fault?

    The distributor returned the Quattro within 24 hours. They opened it up / tested it at their shop and everything was okay. They said it was normal for the AC output L and N terminals to read short on continuity test when the inverter is de-energized. The sound we heard was probably from the...
