EG4 Upgrade Program - Turn-in Sol-Ark 15K for EG4 18K

Me I don't know shit about any of that... none of my gear talks to each other and as such it simply works, & the NSA/CCP cannot ask my equipment what I am up to at the moment.

They can't ask mine either, however the equipment internally communicates perfectly fine with eachother..

External ( internet ) connectivity has zero to do with inter equipment comms

Seplos, again , inverters and BMS's cannot connect to anything outside my home unless I will it

to each his own, there is always a backdoor even apple phones can be forced open if they want to badly enough. mine are not online at all, and everything works without the need for communications between the individual units. if you cannot set the unit to do what you want it to do without it tying into another piece of equipment, then its crippled

again you assume....
everything will work fine without communication, however having that communication brings better charging, better automation possibilities and additional safety...
I CHOOSE to have comms because of above

and phisically breaking a connection means good luck on forcing... there is nothing to force...
Although it is possible a span air gab .... they would need to sit next to my house, and your stuff is just a vunerable to that as mine....
If someone would gather enough resources and interest in me to invest that, one can safely assume you have a different issue

First let me apologise I probably came off a bit as a heretic... because I am i guess... it bois down to if your BMS cannot do its job on it's own without help from something else, ehy use it? the same goes for inverters, SCC's anything. the whole IOT was a plan form the start to grab data that the big tech companies could leverage... as such I assiduously avoid equipment that cannot work by itself.

@houseofancients None of the below RANT applies to you, I am saying this as a general comment so please do not take it as a personal attack, it is not, it is simply my observations over the last couple of years since joining this forum... mind you I was running solar long before then with FLA batteries...

your BMS needs a balancer because your batteries are 2nd hand grade d's marked as grade b's with a lasered B on it? get better batteries (30 dollars more per cell is not an indicator of better cells.)

your SCC for some strange reason does not shut off at your set point, or it cannot float properly and hold a setpoint? get a better SCC
same as all the above for your inverter.

if all charging sources work correctly and shut off before anything could go over voltage, and everything that draws will shut off before you can go under voltage, then all thats left is the BMS to shut off in cases of over temp or under temp or a failure of one of the priors. it should not need to talk.

you have top notch cells and you are having issues with over discharging or over charging, get better gear.

if you are grid tie then the grid tie inverter simply needs to send power out when available and not back feed when the grid is down.

if your inverter is not a grid tie, but simply has input for grid power then as long as it turns on and off as it should and does not back feed then its good.

Yet there are a lot of threads on this forum of some variation of I can't get so and so BMS to talk with SO and So AIO... why do they need to talk if they are of a high enough quality? My AIO is back feeding and XXX XXXX power company has a lawyer in the wings waiting to stuff it deep...buy good gear to begin with and stop complaining about the fact your 5 dollar BMS cannot talk with your overpriced 300 dollar chinese made AIO that keeps backfeeding and getting you in trouble.

I swear to god, 90% of this forum thinks like Stockton Rush and want to head down to the depths in a coke can controlled by a sony playstation controller.

From what I have heard, the issues arriving with EG4 batteries and Sol-Ark Inverters is due to them (EG4) incorrectly using the SOK protocol that they emulate in order to talk closed loop with Sol-Ark. Pretty sure this would not happen with an open loop comms configuration. The crux of the issue being that EG4 batteries somehow modifies something in the Sol-Ark it is not supposed to, and thus, their memory or filesystem gets corrupted.

1. There is no SOK protocol, they mean Pylontec....however it's spelled.
2. If there is bad data being received and the Solark does not sanitize it before acting upon it, whose fault is that?
