SUNGOLD 10KW 48V SPLIT PHASE SOLAR INVERTER

[Lighthouse Beacon]

I'm excited that I just ordered Sungold SPH10K48SP for $1569. Hopefully this rig works out well! Pretty excited! Woohoo!




I plan to document my experience with it here! Thanks

I sure love my Sungold products

So this is the same as the SRNE 10K split phase unit everyone has been buying?

Yes, that's the one. I have the PowMr version of it. Works flawlessly so far. Just the data coming from it is rubbish. Tells you it has discharged 200Ah from the fully charged battery and then has charged it with 290Ah. It's off by approx. 90Ah within 24 hours. I am in contact with SRNE because of this. Also it cannot calculate the SOC of a battery bank, that has no communication, because there is no parameter to set the size of the battery, so you will need an external shunt, like the victron shunt, if you want to know the SOC of your battery. There are other data flaws as well, but elsewise the machine works well.

Purchased from Sungold?

Inverter has arrived. I was curious if I could get 3/4in liquid tight conduit line connectors into the oval pv port of this unit and the answer is yes. I’m not a fan of the oval shaped ports but the line connector fit so it should be a cleaner install. Pretty excited. Unit looks good so far. Arrived quick free shipping via FedEx from Sungold. (California warehouse address)

I’m trying to run the system with no batt but I’m throwing a batt disconnected error 3. I’ve got utility as priority. Anyone know how I can make the system not throw error 3? I need to trick it I think, I don’t see a defined setting for “no batt”

I ran my tp6048 for a long time with that battery error. With no battery it is going to keep showing the battery error. Once you ever get around to adding a battery it goes away.

Bloody hell how many postings about the same damn problem. Make one thread and stick to it please.

Sorry bud was trying to move away from those old threads because one wasn’t mine and I know a lot of guys only look at the “new posts” threads. Just at a real loss here as I can’t believe this isn’t documented somewhere with Sungold as they market it as “batteryless” capable. DIY solar China is the Wild West apparently lol

thank you crowz, going to order batts I guess. Not looking forwards to the flashing red lights and beeps, can’t have that. Thanks buddy

 

[Crowz]

The beeping you can turn off.

Guys why do you think “Cindy” at Sungold would recommend two of these batts instead of one. I’d like to order one and save up some cash before I do another. Am I ok you think? I won’t have much of a load basically emergency UPS

Because if you are pulling a full 10kW from the inverter it's going to be pulling around 200A from the batteries. If you keep the load at 5kWh or so a 100Ah battery should be ok.

 

[Crowz]

Sounds legit. As mentioned its the amps its going to pull when loaded down.

Got a lot of stuff done today. Had most of the house on solar in the afternoon (no hotwater, no garage refrigerator, no mini splits) Everything doing well with the unit. Researching batteries now.

what is that transfer switch? Looks like some nice 240v! I am looking for that

Because "Cindy" isn't paying for them.

It was already in the garage from previous owner for generator tie in. Appears to work well for this so far. I plan to move some circuits over to the critical loads panel directly at some point.
