That's what I was told too. And the price is about $200/KWh not $150

The end of Sol ark/ Deye exclusivity. 2 Deye 16K spilt phase inverters. And 1 Lux Power inverter

Thanks,

I contacted Sunpal yesterday, and they told me that they don't/won't have it.

PM me your location.

Anyone near northern California interested in split the order?

Is this inverter the same as EG4 18K? ie. made by LuxPower

appreciate it.

Wondering if the chargeverter retains its setting (charging current, voltage) when the AC power turned off? I want to use a timer to control when to charge batteries from the grid.

I never understand the reason behind making installer account restricted. You can do the same setting change by just walking to the inverter and do it using the LCD screen. Why not just let a user do it from the web interface?

I came across this animation of bypass diode that might explain why a shaded cell might get over heated. https://www.pveducation.org/pvcdrom/modules-and-arrays/bypass-diodes

Same type of panels. Just 8 vs 6 panel string.

Did a simple shading experiment on two inverters today: One is Deye 16K and the other one is Growatt. Got two drastically different result. Here is the setup and the result 8 panels on Deye with one partially shaded Deye's MPPT understands that one panel is out and drop the operating voltage...

Does PGE interconnection agreement allow exporting after the sun down? Someone on the forum said this will violate the agreement, causing PGE to terminate the agreement.

It seems that the MPPT's algorithm falsely locked to a local optimum point on V-I curve instead of a global optimum that is at much lower voltage (less shade panels). Perhaps other brands MPPT might not experience the same problem. My SMA inverter doesn't have this problem. I can try this...

Wondering if either EG18 or Sol-Ark implements this function that limits the maximum grid feed in at CT? For example. Max grid feed (at CT)is set to5kW and grid attached load 7kW, an inverter limits its output to 5+7kW.

Wondering if this firmware update will enable it to communicate with Sol Ark inverter? Has anyone tried?

1.Optimize the charging and discharging strategy of the inverter when using battery packs.Add segmented current reduction charging based on the highest voltage point in the parallel system to ensure that each pack in the parallel system can be fully charged;When there is an overvoltage...

My Growatt doesn't like it when the generator frequency drop below 60Hz (when the gen is overload). It'll disconnect the generator.

I think I can use the morning hour sun to charge the batteries. I hope we can make an argument that we separate sun electrons from PG@E electrons and sell only sun electrons.

I already have 60KWh batteries for power outage backup. My thought is why not cycling them during the evening peak hours to maximize net metering.

Has anyone used batteries to do time shifting export more during peak hours? And perhaps even after the sun is down. Does PG&E has any restriction on solar+battery systems on exporting after the sun is down?

This inverter is no good in anyway. Because it ain't made in the USA like the good old Sol-Ark. right ?

Yes, I found the video on Youtube. But it looks like the hub doesn't display battery details, cell voltages on Sol Ark.

ANy update on the "hub" availability?

Can you tell more about the hub? Can we place an order now? And how much will it cost? Thanks

Any hope of getting any response from Signature Solar or eia2022?

BTW, Could you put the new firmware in the new resources section so we can download it? Thanks

Does your inverter see all the battery packs via the LL?

No. It's made by EG4. And it doesn't have a good BMS.

I couldn't get the LifePower to talk to Deye yet. Probably gonna need a protocol converter box.

The wheels come with the rack, and the rack also has fixed screw up feet that can float the wheels. The inverter weights about 1.5 time of one battery.

I've ิbeen busy past few weeks. I haven't had much time to play with the inverter. But with the $5,000 saving, I afforded myself these 30Kwh EG4 batteries with a nice looking rack. I attached the inverter to the rack, making it a mobile unit. Everything seems to work so far, haven't tested AC...

I have the same issue. I remember someone from Signature Solar mentioned that it could be done. Also, they mentioned that they might be a converter box to be released Jan/Feb than allows Life Power to talk to Sol-Ark.
