FoxESS Community - Owners & Installers Forum

There is a community made app called Energy Stats which a forum memory develops which you might want to try. Ultimately there is a small learning curve but it should be set and forget really. Any issues remaining feel free to share and we can try to help you.

depends what are you trying to do with the rs485, is it for a meter or do reading data from the inverter for something like home assistant? Look at the com port pin definitions in the manual.

Nice neat install and love the insulated box to keep them at a stable temp.

Hey, So you'll want two cables (RS485A & RS485B) terminated into the correct pins (pin 3 & 4) on the coms port PER inverter. So if done correctly, you'll have a network cable coming from each inverters com port with two wires ready to be used in future. You'll want to use a modbus to IP adapter per ...

You will want both minsoc and minsoc on grid set to 10% and then click save.

I would turn on a high load like an oven and test that the load sensing via the ct is correctly working.

Hmmm, that doesn't look right. I would expect to see some load even with an empty house and normally a few watts at least. Is it possible the system can tripped a circuit breaker?

I'd say fridge/freezer or aquarium heater also

Hey Prax99, I've had panels for over 10 years across 3 houses and even though we don't get any serious hail in the southwest UK, I've not seen any damage from it. Now if you're getting golf ball sized hail then sure expect to need to replace damaged panels every now and then but there isn't much you ...
