Solar Nube!
I recently installed the Gridboss and Flexboss21 with the ruixu Lithi2-16 wallmount battery. This is my first solar install. Any tips, troubleshooting or support resources would be greatly appreciated. I've been working on this for over a week and I am out of ideas. Here is the issue:
I get an error when I try to enable closed communication. I set the inverter type on the battery to "Luxpower" and the lithium brand to type 6 (also tried types 0 and 4) on the Flexboss. When I restart the battery and inverter I immediately get a warning light on the inverter and see an open "W004: Battery status check" notice listed in the EG4 monitor event history. According to Signature Solar tech support this message indicates a battery status check failure caused by BMS fault or the inverter receiving unexpected information. The error disables charge and discharge of the battery so nothing works, it's basically in standby mode. I do not see any warnings or messages on the battery display screens. The inverter settings have been checked by S2 support and I tried new com cables but the same issue persists.
It is currently working in lead acid mode with no communication. I'm not sure if the problem is an EG4 software bug, incorrect inverter setting(s), or something on the battery/BMS side. Signature Solar support has forwarded the case to EG4 engineers but since this is not an officially supported battery brand I'm not sure how much effort they will put into diagnosing the issue. I was planning on adding two more of these battery banks but I need to figure out the coms issue first.
As a test I tried setting the battery inverter type to PYLON and the lithium brand to type 2 on the Flexboss. This actually worked for a couple of hours without error but when it switched from battery to grid I got a W000: Communication failure with battery notification and it stoped working.
Has anyone successfully installed the Gridboss/Flexboss and the Lithi2-16 using closed communications? I emailed techsupport@ruixubattery.com but have not heard back yet. Hopefully I have not been cut by the bleading edge of technology that I tend to constantly gravitate toward! Please help...
