    Solar Assistant - data logger

    I have the inverter connected in SmartESS and WatchPower using provided WIFI Dongle, but Solar Assistant implementation is not communicating correctly with the device. when plugging in the inverter via USB it's showing up as a "Exar Corp. XR21V1410" serial device which is different from normal...

    Monitor JK BMS with Solar Assistant?

    so if the developer will add it, we will be able to use it... it is so much more convenient to use Bluetoth that is a standardized protocol instead of so many adapters with various cipsets and just one works and the others do not work ... i had spent 2 days and not working just because os...

    Monitor JK BMS with Solar Assistant?

    Is it possible to add JK BMS support by using Bluetooth and not RS485 adapters that many cipsets are not working correctly and is always a problem as opposed to standardized Bluetooth protocol ?

    Monitor JK BMS with Solar Assistant?

    1) Because you wrote the driver for MPP Solar, you have a lot of experience with it, is it possible to connect directly to this wifi dongle of MPP Solar inverter directly and get the data via wifi and avoid cable madness ? It is a lot simplier to connect 9 inverters over wifi that with 9 cables...

    Monitor JK BMS with Solar Assistant?

    Yes, it would be very useful if he would ask for your support because you are very skilled and can help all of us benefit from the help you will provide. Is it complicated to ass this feature to completly eliminate all cables and serial converters ? 3) I would want Bluetooth connection to JK...

    Solar Assistant Wish list, Bugs and Issues.

    1) I would add support for EaSun Inverters with cable at least . I have this model and it is not working to connect USB cable. The Inverter has WIFI dongle and works with wifi on all apps like SmartESS or WatchPower and I want to be able to use the same Wifi network as all the other 6 or 9...

    Monitor JK BMS with Solar Assistant?

    I would like to sincerely tank you for sharing the functionality freely and not asking money for it. We all want to make it work with easun inverters. I will try it and I recommend the creator of Solar Assistant to add support it as a priority because it is a very good 2A active equalizer bms...

    Monitor JK BMS with Solar Assistant?

    I paid for the software, but not working on my EaSun Inverter or JK BMS so I want to find how to make ti work as the software creator is not able to offer a solution for it for 2 days and it seems there are many other people in the same situation. I have the same JK BMS and many others as it is...

    Hi everyone. I paid for the product 2 days ago but it is not working for EaSun inverter I have that is the model from last year with new Wifi dongle . I tried to connect with USB B "printer cable usb" and it was not connecting at all because the software that i paid for was showing the device...

    Connecting 20 wind turbines in series ?!

    Hehe, already checked that and between 24V and 48 the factory only switch from delta to star and I am using 48V so I can't do that ...

    Connecting 20 wind turbines in series ?!

    Can you send some links with price for one 3-phase transformer from 48V to 240V ? I will need to use 20 transformers (and also add transformer loss) and that might be more expensive than having the additional wires in parallel instead of series.

    Connecting 20 wind turbines in series ?!

    You had the capacitor where the bypass diode would be on my diagram right? - yes, electrolytic capacitor, with correct polarity All 6 turbines are of the same voltage? -> yes , all 48V You made sure that you did not wire any of the capacitors backwards right?? Because that would explain the...

    Connecting 20 wind turbines in series ?!

    I have done a series of 6 exactly like you image, with an electrolytic capacitor of 5000uF for each of them in series and without the bypass diode as i was considering 3 of the diodes will bypass if that wind turbine is not spinning. Problem is that 3 of them are always stalling never start to...

    Connecting 20 wind turbines in series ?!

    I haves asked for solutions so the smartest around can give their solution about how to do this. Each wind turbine will have its own controller that will provide 50V DC and I am searching for solutions how to connect output from wind controller. In series or parallel, series of DC with isolated...

    Connecting 20 wind turbines in series ?!

    I do think that It will work if i connect in series the DC-DC boost converters but using inputs from 2 separate wind turbines so like that it won't matter if they are non-isolated type because they will use different and isolated power supply ? For example with 6 wind turbines I will be able...

    Connecting 20 wind turbines in series ?!

    Is there a way to isolate the boost DC-DC converters and use just 2 in series ? Another way is to search and find some DC-DC that can boost from 58V to above 130V . If none will work the only remaining way is to put all turbines in parallel to the bank of batteries and that will work for sure...

    Connecting 20 wind turbines in series ?!

    Not possible at all, batteries are inside house , wind turbines 100m away, cold does not allow charging at negative Celsius temperature. Also loss is at 20% with so many conversions. Waiting for opinions about the DC-DC voltage booster from 58V of wind controller to 90V than use 2 in series...

    Connecting 20 wind turbines in series ?!

    As specified above cable costs for 200A instead of 40A for 100m in length is what matters and also lack of monitoring from mppt inverter with WiFi

    Connecting 20 wind turbines in series ?!

    Yes, it must be between 10A to 20A input and boost from 50V to minimum 120V and more is better, but they must sustain constant voltage of 40V - 60V to power the wind co troller ( I have seen that controller seems to power on quickly but not sure if thousands of power cycles if it is not...

    Connecting 20 wind turbines in series ?!

    I already have filled the available roof space with solar and indeed solar is the best option because it produces a lot of energy in one year but wind is complementary because when there is a cloudy week usually there is wind day and night and wind will compensate the lack of sun for weeks...

    Connecting 20 wind turbines in series ?!

    Hi, thanks for the the answer. Regarding wiring wind turbines in parallel to the same controller it is not possible with AC because wind turbines will slow each other because of different frequency and that it is not a synchronized wave. If you mean to add DC output from rectifier bridge to...
