I see so much conflicting advice, it is hard to know what is correct. :) I can tell you what I have done for my replacement inverter. (Anen 10.2KW Max) Setting Number| My setting | Comment 05 USE means User defined...

Thanks for the thought. :) On reflection this would mess up my Cheap Chinese battery charging inverter which expects up to 500v DC. I have A/B switches to send PV to the SMA or the Cheap Chinese system. The Chinese system claims to be Hybrid... but it cannot draw power from the battery and...

I use a power provider (Amber.com.au) that rewards Feed-in power when the grid is short of power. Naturally this happens when there is no sun, and when demand is highest; typically, after sunset and pre-dawn. I have an old, grid-tied, 5KW, SMA inverter connected to the grid, but it no longer...

I do not see this parameter either. I have a wifi-controlled-switch that I use to (dis)connect the grid. It also has the ability to meter lots of information too. Note it can do Power-in, Power-out, volts, amps, Hz etc Link here It links to SmartLife app

Thanks for the tip I was getting nowhere until I tried this website. Have you figured out how to change the battery SOC% to 100% when the battery is full? Mine still says 50% when it should be 100% I have a Anern Max 10200 Hybrid inverter but no data connection to the battery

I have given up on my Y&H 10KW inverter - junked! The MPPT section is dead. I've just got Anern Max-10200 which has similar specs. but seems better so far. On AliExpress - look up "Hybrid Solar Inverter 10200W On-Grid/Off-Grid MPPT 48VDC to 230VAC Can Work No Battery Built-in 160A Solar...

I have the same issue. The datalogger shows as offline - see the green highlight sat the bottom of the picture. I see warnings about "NOT 5GHz compatible." I use Google Wi-Fi with 3 nodes; they auto switch to the best frequency. The only way to control the frequency according to 'help' is to...

I saw a video on youtube by someone who spent 10 years in China and has many contacts there. He says news of EV fires is suppressed. Many of the fires are BYD cars so I wonder if the blade batteries are as safe as we hope? Many of the fires shown are stationary EVs with some being charged. A...

Sadly the entire order failed to arrive; both prismatics and blades were 'lost'. They got through Australian customs but then disappeared. I did get a prompt refund from AliExpress. I have pondered if super cheap offers like this are used to lure people like me to order the goods which end...

How about using USB as the parameter for "Program 1" = Utility/Solar/Grid You can turn off the connection to Utility using a switch and that will force the battery to take over when there is no sun. If there is enough sun, then you will run the house and charge the battery. My switch-overs...

Have other people had these issues also?

Having used this inverter for a month I would not recommend it - unless LOW-cost is VERY important to you. Issue 1 The switch-over from supplying power into the grid to reliance on your battery is messy. It seems there is no way to do this except for manually disconnecting from the grid. I...

This post is only slightly relevant to your problem but it is worth knowing about. I have been testing out a meter that records imported and exported KWh. It seems to be doing this job and also displays Amps, grid voltage. It also acts as a switch that responds to a WiFi signal via an App. The...

Wow! What is the name of the company that makes all these brands? (Y&H or another?)

I tried that too :) but when I try to re register the WiFi dongle, their server says "the logger has been used by user s******c." - which is the username I used (with the un-fixable PW) :(
