The Fox inverter does throw up a grid earth fault on a generator feed but this can be addressed by unticking the check box on the earth check safety setting. You do need installer/Agent access to the web interface to be able to access the safety settings.

Did you get around the earth issue by hooking the generator to a good earth or by deselecting the check earth box in the agent level inverter setup? In the agent level you can also stretch out the voltage and current range if you find your generator is struggling to maintain either under load ...

No success.

Every hurdle jumped presented a fresh hurdle to get over.

The last hurdle that I gave up on called a failed earthing on the incoming AC feed. Maybe if I tied the generator to an earthing rod this hurdle could have been navigated but there was no guarantee it wouldn't then just be onto ...

With the glass panel heater I can monitor the shed temperature over the home network and using the Fox app I can also view the battery temperature. It'll be a see how it goes with regard to heating as I'm sure there will be a couple of test ground nights in the Autumn period before we enter the ...

The shed is uninsulated so internal temperature, you'd assume, will be closely following the outside ambient conditions. If anyone has experience of electric greenhouse heaters which seem to range from 60W to 2Kw units then that'd be useful to share. Otherwise I'll likely elect to go for a 1Kw glass ...

That is reassuring to be told it'll revert automatically to seeking out the solar input when the mains voltage is zero.

I just need to build a somewhat secure generator enclosure as that is an expensive piece of kit to have sitting outside unsecured. I've looked online for suitable options and ...

To provide some feedback into this conundrum. My set up has now been running for 2 weeks and being new, it does get looked in on often using the Fox and TIGO cloud apps to see what is happening.

The battery/inverter shed does come with its own venting louvres. Regarding the battery operating ...

Thanks Dave for your advice. I have wired up the generator input line on the opposite side to the battery shed consumer unit (which is there to feed mains AC to two the tracker controllers). The working set up today is in EPS off grid with no mains tie in at all and no ability (no cable feed) for ...

I have installed a Fox 8Kwh hybrid inverter with a 20Kw battery cube tied to 8Kwh solar panels to generate and store power to my home. The system is set up on self use as off grid and working well.

I wish to add a generator backup for when the solar generation is insufficient to restore the ...

I am planning a DIY solar setup that will have a 6'X6' battery and inverter shed 30m from the house. For added anti theft security, this will be a metal shed.

My question is should I install and air conditioning unit into the shed to keep things cool in the Summer? I could buy a mobile AC unit for ...
