Re: G8 inverter problems
I don’t think it’s the emlite meter - they are pretty dumb generation meters, there must be a meter fitted somewhere else or the inverter genuinely has a fault ?.

Re: G8 inverter problems
I’m sorry to hear you’ve been having continued problems - It sounds as if the inverter has been fitted with either a meter or CT clamp to measure the loads and it sounds as if that has a problem. If it has a CT clamp it is a small white clip on cable clamp that is usually connected at the incoming m...

You don't want airplane mode on as that shuts down all your wireless transmissions. On your phone make sure you delete or forget your normal internet connection, then look in the wifi list for the ssid W-XXXXXXX - connect to this and the password is mtmt2020.

Re: Info for port back-up fox ess ac1-3.0-e
It does require some careful planning, as there are potential problems with earthing and neutral bonding when using the EPS outlet. From what you have said the €600 seems a reasonable price to me given the work, but have a read of this post as it sets out the various options https://foxesscommunity....

Re: Installer bankrupt
The easiest option is to replace your datalogger, create a new installer account and add the new datalogger serial number to it - your inverter will then show in your new installer account.

Re: KH10.5 Latest firmware version
Yes it’s the manager responsible for comms, you need 1.19 or above for the latest integration - if you get that updated you’ll have access to the new features such as force charge / discharge work modes.
Plus there are many fixes in the inverter, and maxsoc now works correctly.

Hi, which app are you using, is it the V1 app (blue background) or the V2 app (black background) ? The data screen is a snapshot taken every 5 minutes so not a real time view, and when larger appliances turn on and off you sometimes see strange numbers (sampling errors) which will correct after the ...

Re: G8 inverter problems
Ahhh ok sorry my bad, I was thinking it was a hybrid inverter, but it’s a PV inverter (G series). 254V is high, the maximum permissible grid voltage is 253V but inverters often measure several volts higher particularly when they are nearing maximum power - if this is reported to your DNO they should...

Re: G8 inverter problems
At 8kW I assume it’s a KH8 that has been installed ? That sounds very much like it is seeing either a high grid voltage or too high a current on one of the PV strings which results in an alarm that shuts down the generation - the inverter will then go through a mandatory wait time and then perform c...
