    Anyone else's Sol-Ark 15K miss the DST change this morning?

    The touch screen shows "Time Sync" is checked, and the install manual describes "Time Sync" as "Automatically syncs with the internet for daylight savings time changes" This is causing the display at pv.inteless.com to show all zeros for current power, and the graphed data is off by an hour.

    6kw Growatt issues

    The 6000 won't charge from AC unless the voltage and frequency are within range. Is your generator an inverter type? If not, it likely has a frequency that is too high. You can sometimes plug a decent sized load into the inverter (like a 1000W heater) which will lower the frequency, maybe enough...

    Capacity test

    Solar Assistant - data logger

    FYI - I got excited about earlier posts on this this thread about Growatt, so I bought a license and set up a pi3. Caution 'support' for Growatt is status only. There is no ability to change settings. And the Power management tab says not supported.

    GroWatt Monitoring Address/Site

    As an FYI, the Growatt WiFi Dongle I just received was configured to send data to the chinese servers. I could not get it to appear in my server-us.growatt.com monitoring page until I changed the config settings in the wifi dongle to go to server.-us.growatt.com and not its default...

    Growatt servers not showing data? This fixed it for me.
