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).

 

[Zwy]

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

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.

Is there a way to clear the beeping noise when you have an error? Only thing I could find is turn off the noise itself and eventually the inverter cleared the error.

Setting 25 is for the buzzer alarm.
What error / fault were you getting?

Are you asking for a way to acknowledge the error and temporarily turn off the buzzer alarm (until a new error occurs) without disabling setting 25? I'm not aware of a way to do this.

 

[chamilun]

Battery under voltage. Even tho it wasnt so not sure why it even triggered

Yes. To simply clear the error or at the least stop the beeping. There's an option in the app but it doesn't work

 

[Crowz]

I imagine it actually is under voltage. Even if for a split second to trigger it.

Also if I remember correctly there is a x seconds setting for how long it has to be under voltage to set the alarm.
I know it has the x seconds before it acts on min voltage. I think that timer effects the alarm too but not sure on that.

Just lower the alarm point for the under voltage alarm setting.

Found this in my notes on making solar assistant work with srne :

password needed for changes via sa and stuff

Via PC software or the solarman app, option 65 password = 11111
As long as you don't power the inverter(s) off, you don't need to put the password in again.

ETA: If you have the inverters paralleled, only one needs the password entered. Everything on one inverter propagates to the other.

where do you enter in the password in the solarman app?

whats the pc software that you use, Ipower?

when you guys are saying setting 25, what the heck are y'all referring to? i've looked at the manual and i dont see a list of numbered settings?

The ASF and ASP are "dumb" they don't have the fancy touch screen the SEI / HESP has.
All the settings for yours are accessed through the touch screen.

Is there a list somewhere that I can correlate to what number equals what setting?

Not that I'm aware of.
You'd have to compare both manuals.
The SEI is going to have a lot more features.

That don't seem to work

I'm sure you'll get it figured out.
Have you tried contacting SRNE with a list of issues? Might be a firmware update.

Yes, this was a few days ago, noting spice i told him the model number. There's just no way there's too much current coming in from pv, unless their own current sensing is wrong. Max I've seen via sa was like 10 amps this inverter supposed to be 25 amp max power channel
