6 MWh SRNE ASF48100U200-H 10kw.

On that note I'm about 4.5 MWh on mine now

They do export.

I know, just wasn't aware of anyone using them for that in the states. Would be great to confirm it actually works.

Hold on a sec, you're using yours to export?

Keeping in mind that anything written on the internet is forever, ABSOLUTELY NOT! That was a shot from my Growatt grid tie inverter that is approved for export.

But if I was for some reason, sadly the chart would look like below as for some reasons the ASF and/or Solar Assistant cannot tell the difference between grid export and import.

This completely theoretical chart shows coming off battery at 10AM and switching to export (but until 12:30PM the ASF is charging the batteries). At about 12:30PM, the batteries are full and the unit switches to grid export. Of course, this is just a guess on what it would look like, not an actual screen shot of yesterday.

And before anyone asks, please don't ask how I got 73kWh out of a 6kW Growatt unit. I must have mistyped that, should have been 7.3kWh, honest!

I have a discharge period ending at 00:00 (midnight) and a charge period starting at 00:00; that has worked fine for me with the ASP. I think you'd be able to use 00:00-10:00 and 18:00-00:00 to avoid needless switching at midnight.

Didn't work for me. My unit would accept 1800-0000, but it would not switch to battery. only when I changed the end to 2359 would it work. I watched Solar Assistant during the flip passed midnight, but not sure if the unit did anything. I will try again tonight.

@iamrich
Sounds like in theory switching setting 34 to ONGRD, setting 01 to UTI, and setting 67 to a desired sell back limit don't work; if those settings are even available.

 

[iamrich]

Yeah, my list ends at 55, unless there is a "secret" level I don't know about (or have access to).

I've never found a secret menu but firmware versions would do it.

The extra settings appear when you have it in uti mode and mixlod enabled.

That's unfortunate; perhaps SRNE made an improvement here in the ASP firmware. Did someone mention that a newer version of ASF firmware is available (I might have read this in the Sungold ASF-rebadge thread)?

If you are testing this through the midnight transition, standing in front of the unit would be the sure way to tell if the inverter made extraneous output mode changes (on my ASP, when the output mode changes, there's audible relay click).

Later versions of the operating manual show some settings have changed, most likely due to firmware changes. I would look at the manual that came with your unit and compare to the latest manual that can be downloaded on the SRNE website.

As mentioned, some settings are available only when changing another setting. This is a smart way of having the menu only offer certain functions according to the primary settings.
