Re: External Solar Edge system monitoring

Hi Dave,
Thank you so much.
I restarted the device and also the inverter.

External Solar Edge system monitoring

Hello,
I have a Fox system and a clamp is used to get reading from my existing SolarEdge system. However, it does not record the production of this system; i.e. daily, monthly or yearly SolarEdge production. Is there anyway I could access this information please?
Thank you

Thank you so much.
I have set up Home Assistant (tryist), and it does not give the data from SolarEdge. Are you using Modbus please?
Please let me know if you have any instructions to set this up.
Kindest regards

Thank you so much for the quick response.
I have ordered the boards and should arrive by Monday. I assume all 5 sides are covered. Did you keep 30cm gap between the batteries and the insulation please?
Thank you so much once again.

Minimum SOC level

Hi,
I am new here.
We installed a Fox H1 5Kw hybrid inverter and a 8.64kwh Fox cube.
The minimum SOC is set to 10% but it keeps dropping to 6% at times overnight.
My understanding was that below10% SOC the inverter will draw energy from the grid and save the battery from damage.
Please, could ...
