I don't have that page on mine. HummmThis what you are looking for in SA? The power management tab was just populated in the last SA update.
There is also an inverter page w/both inverter's information.

Running it under megarevo? Self consume.Device board: Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.4

It must be enabled somewhere else.
Odd. Before this last update, there was nothing on the power tab. Definitely not what you have. Running it under the configure>Inverter>Megarevo setting?I don't have a use for it so not going to worry about it. Just curious that I didn't have the choice.

I have EG4 3KOdd. Before this last update, there was nothing on the power tab. Definitely not what you have. Running it under the configure>Inverter>Megarevo setting?
I have it running that way currently. About 120' away. 2 female jacks on the CT end. Two male RJ's on the inverter end. So far its been working well. No battery just offsetting main panel loads when the sun is shining.Set it to lead acid, set voltages, and see what happens?
Can the ct's share a common cat5 cable? They only use two wires. It would be easier to use a splitter at both ends, and run one cat5 the 75' vs two cat5 cables? .
So with the last 9 hours on the test you have it set to “battery priority”, time of use enabled and SOC set to 100%?In lead acid mode, still has the charge/discharge spasms:

First 7 hours are overnight run on battery for a burn in test, Next 8 hours are charge from grid (with one brief interruption), last 9 hours are battery at 100 % SoC and the unit discharging at about 2 amps followed by spiky charging from 7 to 20 amps. It switches about every few seconds and the chart above is every 5 minutes so it is random what is samples at any given time.
I feel like I need to stop this behavior. I could disable grid charging manually at 100% SoC, but I'm not sure if that will stop the discharge events, or they will simply continue to discharge with no charging going on.

my sunny island does this same thing when the battery is full and its on grid. its not something i ever worried aboutYesterday, my battery current log:
View attachment 218193
Shows repeated discharges of about 2 amps with spiky charges of up to 20 amps.
My next tactic is going to be to disable grid charging entirely and see what happens. This should stop the charging, but the question is if it will stop the discharging. If it doesn't, then I have to ask why the inverter sucks on the battery with grid available which it should not do.
Maybe the root cause of this is the inverter sucking on the battery with grid available, which then triggers a recharge, and the cycle repeats.

Glad to hear y'all stayed safe!m baaaaaaaaaaack.
shtf this holiday weekend.
Don't know how many tornadoes in our area, straight line wind, hail, and flooding. Have not been able to watch the local news. Trees and power lines are still laying around. Just got internet back after 3 days but many still without power. Some of the public water districts ran out of water creating what could have been a very dangerous situation.
Luckily, even though our solar system isn't fully installed, I was able to shut off the grid breaker, and backfeed the house enough to run vitals and the well pump. One nhx10k easily ran the 270' deep well pump. Not enough to run everything and the hot water heater, but we were able to take showers, very cold and very short showers, but we were clean after cleaning up mess after mess.
Topping things off, last week was vacation. It began with a chainsaw in my hands, and ended with a chainsaw in my hands. Tough vacation, but we came through unschathed and that is what is important.
Wow. Seems like a rough few days. Glad to hear it turned out ok.m baaaaaaaaaaack.

They were out of water. No water to put out fires.Wow. Seems like a rough few days. Glad to hear it turned out ok.
What dangerous situation were the water districts creating?
My (as yet not fully tested) understanding:Does this NHX inverter have any connection points to power a TIGO transmitter or support any rapid shutdown devices like TIGOs directly?
what grade of wire are you buying for these prices?Locally, the NWS confirmed 100 mph downbursts, an EF2 here and an EF3 in the next town over.
More work on the new 12panel ground mount today. The other smaller 6panel ground mounts came through the storms with no issues. Hoping the 12panel will be just as resilient. Maybe my problem with over-building things finally worked in our favor.
Two more 500' rolls of 10gauge came in. Better price and different colors. $90 for 500' sure beats $160 the local Lowes and Menards wants.
Stranded THHN/THWN 10gauge, CME and SouthWire brand. One had a damaged spool. It would have been a real bear to unspool on a jobsite, but for home use the extra time to unspool was a non-issue.what grade of wire are you buying for these prices?
