    Deye inverter help please, parallel wiring issue

    Finally I am up and running properly. Here are the final resolution items that had to be resolved. The inverters indeed needed to be updated. Deye was able to do this remotely which allowed the inverters to communicate properly. The CT scanners were not working, I had to buy some to fit on...

    Deye inverter help please, parallel wiring issue

    I spoke with the supplier that supports the Sol-Ark and they say that the CT scanners can be up to 400ft away. I read what Sol-Ark recommends and they say it can be up to 400ft and that they recommend using Cat6 cable if extending far. I actually have two runs of Cat5 and am using 4 conductors...

    Deye inverter help please, parallel wiring issue

    Helpful thank you. My concern is moving the Ct scanners down where the white one is won’t capture the secondary feed lines going to a different breaker that are on the right hand side, right? Also Deye is saying that CT scanner should be within 10 meters of the inverter. This may be an issue...

    Deye inverter help please, parallel wiring issue

    Deye updated the firmware and now the inverters are all communicating properly and appear to be working right. The one issue I am having now is determining placement of my CT's and direction of flow. I have been messing around with locations for this and know I have this wrong which is showing...

    Deye inverter help please, parallel wiring issue

    They are still doing funny stuff, I think the firmware needs updated. For example when I put them back in sell mode and turn battery bank off they still show the battery bank and are trying to charge. I cycled power and still the same but no chance they can see the bank because I turned...

    Deye inverter help please, parallel wiring issue

    Thank you this is super helpful. I will try them on WhatsApp after New Years. Things are actually working better but I still think a firmware update is needed. The inverters sat for 30 months in my garage before I was able to put the project together. I’m sure firmware is outdated.

    Deye inverter help please, parallel wiring issue

    I have a feeling firmware is not the same on all. I will reach out and ask them although they have not been very responsive. I cycled power and two came up saying they are out of phase so I corrected that and they appear to be working better now. I will see what happens over the next day and...

    Deye inverter help please, parallel wiring issue

    That was my next thought. Some show charging some show discharging and I think all should be doing the same thing. A reboot is a good idea.

    Deye inverter help please, parallel wiring issue

    Playing with the CTs are certainly changing things up. The strange thing though is not all inverters are doing even near the same thing. I’m parallel they all should read from the CTs on the master inverter right? Battery reading is crazy right now with each showing no percentage and each...

    Deye inverter help please, parallel wiring issue

    I am putting back in parallel and reversing Ct feed lines to see if that makes a difference starting just on two inverters. Hang tight

    Deye inverter help please, parallel wiring issue

    Thanks for the response this is very helpful. I am pretty sure I have the CT scanner installed correctly but am confirming now. I do have the inverters set to sell excess energy back to grid though as well. I believe the issue I am having is setting up the inverters in parallel mode. When I...

    Deye inverter help please, parallel wiring issue

    Slight clarification. The issue is occurring when I switch to parallel mode. When inverters are not setup with a master and in slave mode they all work but as soon as I change to parallel mode so they all can work with the batteries then the solar production drops from 4-5kw to .04.

    deye 8kw system work mode

    Elektro you totally hijacked his thread. Soltech, did you get this resolved? I am trying to do the same thing and running into issues. I just posted a new thread. Elektro, you questions will be answered by reading the manual. Read the one online, not the one that came with the inverter. It...
