I feel if they get this firmware working better like a solarak or deye, they could charge a little more for the units and would be a solid contender in the US market for a cheaper price point

I read it as each input of the 4 PV inputs is able to take 500v and 12a. With the total wattage across all inputs as 12000 watts.

I have been pushing 2 strings at 430v 10a.

I wanted to inform everyone, I heard back from Jakiper batteries. They use pylon CAN communication. It should be able to communicate with their batteries.

I have also tried using pin 7&8 to try and communicate with no success. Not sure exactly if that port can be used for polling registers or not.

Okay, I got this thing communicating with a usb rs485 adapter. The issue was the pinouts I listed in a previous post. All were showing wrong. The bottom side of my inverter connector pin numbers matche the picture shown by flygeek holding the wifi adapter. The pinout listed on both the solarman...

I’ll see what version it has today when I go to the other property. I kept it on the same version it was shipped with and haven’t had any problems

Yes, that’s kinda my fear. All my internet stuff is all connected to the critical loads side so once it goes dark it’s done. I’m trying to get them to send me the file to update. Hopefully the updates fix some of the little bugs and maybe hopefully it will let me poll some of the modbus...

No it does not. I should have said something in this thread to disregard. When I started this thread I was told I’d be getting a rebranded Deye inverter but ended up getting a megarevo from them.

Hey all, I was wondering if you guys are able to still get into the command line via ssh or using the hdmi with keyboard? I am trying to have the Pi run a few other jobs besides just SA. Also does anyone know where they save the definitions file for the inverters?

Yes I can do that when I get home.

I’ve exported a lot to the net metering over the summer but it’s only been a week or so since the batteries have been 100% online with critical loads panel. Normally the PV will cover the loads and give back 5-20kwh to the grid per day but that was summer and early fall.

Thank you for your input!

For anyone interested in communicating with Modbus to the inverter. Here is a list of addresses, I have been using pysolarmanv5. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1X7mtmFSYQ2Jll_zCJ4Tk9xcupVlDlEb-/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=112318649583608072828&rtpof=true&sd=true

Your display isn’t working properly on the inverter? I haven’t had any bugs or issues with mine at all.

Can you tell us what has changed with the new firmware?

I just updated the firmware and all my settings are the same as yours. My battery is at 99% SOC and it is finally outputting to the grid. It is weird though. It is showing INV: L1 putting out 13.5A and L2 putting out 11.4A. They used to be matching...? Those numbers seem awful low. My Tigo app...

Okay it’s changed to 90%. We will see tomorrow.

I was in the exact same boat. I was on that waiting list and couldn't wait any longer. I thought I was getting a Deye for the same price but that turned out to be incorrect. I like the specs of the Megarevo a little more than the LVX6048WP since I was at the max for the PV input on that unit...

I just used the regular Ethernet cables provided. Plugged into the CAN port.

I found this to confirm: It does say "Max.Input current of single MPPT(A)" so our thoughts appear to be correct. Each input is able to have up to 500vDC and 12a.

I just completed everything myself recently. It may be different for every state/ town but I am willing to answer any questions.

Same, I had broken CTs but my father in law, just got the same inverter and it was packaged and shipped better than mine was. Also no broken parts.

I came across something interesting while continuing my mission to get USB/ RS485 Modbus connection to work on this inverter. I seen that Solar Assistant has Megarevo support now. The interesting thing is their connection diagram. https://solar-assistant.io/help/megarevo/configuration. It...

If you look at the PIN numbers on those 2 images, pin 2 would line up with pin 4, etc.

I have found, like most iot Chinese things, they always put a back door in there for data gathering.

I just 3D printed a plug to replace the SOLARMAN end for wire connection so I do not have to butcher the SOLARMAN adapter. Once I get the data communication to work with the usb, I may use a double pole relay to switch which device is the master on the modbus. Such as, let the SOLARMAN record...

Mine does the same thing but when on peak shift. Self consume doesn’t do that for me.

That’s pretty sweet. I will have to dig into that. Thanks for the information.

Switching the wires to the ones shown from solar assistant now at least does not get a communication error but still doesn’t get a response as expected. I will have to try reading more up on minimalmodbus to see what I’m missing.
