@sunsynk I want to find out a bit more about the Aux Load "smart load" I have it set up on a water heater that prioritizes the PV power to the water heater when there is a surplus of sun power but when the Grid power is off the smart load to the water heater is unavailable. I want to prioritize what feeds the smart load. ie: when I switch on my water heater at night, I want the smart load to draw the power from the grid and not the batteries in order to save the batteries for the essential loads. Thanks
Thanks for all the videos Keith, Do you intend doing a video on using a 5kw ECCO with an exisiting UK solar setup. I curently enjoy FiT payments, so dont want to compromise those, but have now added batteries to the system and i have a 5kw ECCO ready to be fitted. i currently have a Sofar ME300SP which works in the way i need it to BUT the charging rate at 3kw (if im lucky) from the grid overnight just isnt sufficiant enough, hence why i want to replace it with a sunsynk. My solar system is 4k with an Araura Power One inverter. From the diagram On-Grid + AC Couple - it shows that the way it all needs to be connected, but there doesnt appear to be any instructions on how to set the programmer? Best Wishes and thanks Dave
I did the same. Built my own battery and got Sunsynk 8.8 ECCO. Works very well. Happy to help if you have any questions. The programmer you are looking for is probably in System Mode, timer. You can set times when to import or when to export and how much. Sadly as of today there isn't a mode that would support export and import (for now you can either set time for export only or set timer for import only). If you are with Octopus energy then Sunsynk have a new feature in their app to take advantage of Octopus tariffs with cheap import and high export price but that requires your inverter to be connected to the WIFI. Unfortunately this feature isn't worky very well yet but they will get there eventually.
I please need help. Had my inverter installed but now it shows off in the center of the screen. I don't have battery backup and only use panels during the day. What can cause the inverter to display off. I can see what load is being used at night.
Hi Keith, may i ask about the inverters grid connector labelled as L N.. but what if the residential configuration is L1 to L2 ? Can we still wire it to the L Grid connector inside the inverter? Thanks
Hi, in this video I noticed you said the max voc is 450v in 1 array. In the other video "understanding MPPT" you wrote 480v max in 1 array. So which one is the correct one?
Very confusing: If I run 2x5K SG01LP1 inverters in parallel without batteries you say there is no need to connect the communication cable. How should I set the inverters: Master 01/Slave02? How many CT clamps one or two?
It depends on the use case. For example if your goal is to output all the solar power to household and to the grid without any limits then inverters don't even need to know about one another. CT clamp not needed either. If however power output needs to be restricted for say 0 export then logically inverters need to know how much power is used by the household and then coordinate the power output between both to offset household usage and therefore result flow at the consumer meter. CT clamp is the sensor needed to measure the power flow across the clamped wire. When it comes to coordinating something boss will see the big picture and tell his underlings what they need to do. The same with inverters. The master inverter would need to read CT clamp to determine how much power is flowing through the clamped wire and use that information to decide how much power needs to be put out by either inverter in order to fully offset household power usage. I have found that Keith uses very imprecise language to describe concepts. Perhaps he is trying to make it more clear and less technical. But I find it maybe makes it clear for one use case and very confusing for many other cases.
Morning Keith, I am currently having adverse weather conditions and thus no sun, my batteries are being drawn flat, how do I change the settings from the APP to get the batteries to charge from the grid?
I need help!!! I have apartments with a sunsynk inverter. I also have essential and nonessential circuits . Each apartment will need a prepaid kwh meter. Will i need 2xmeters per unit or is there a nother way of metering? Will a 3 phase meter work and only connecting 2 phases on the meter?
I guess if you are not overloading DC input then that's fine on one. But a single MPPT would only be able to handle half the rated power. So if you have 8KW inverter you are fine. If 3.6 then during sunny days MPPT is limiting input and you are not getting all the power the panels could output.
because if you lower it top low and then dont get charge back in time you may end up with a flat battery with a voltage that would not allow the bms or battery to wake up and then would need manual charging
Hi Peter, did you ever get the SolarEdge inverter coupled to the Sunsynk? I have one too and it produces much more PV than the Sunsynk MPPTs due to the use of panel optimizers, which the Sunsynk MPPT can't use
Hi, can an 8kW Grid-tied, Hybrid Sunsynk Inverter fitted with Lithium batteries (10kVA) and solar panels (15x455W) feed a load in excess of 8kW, by combining power from the grid with either the battery stored or solar generated?
No you cant exceed 8kw. You can have short bursts in excess of 8, but not long and you should try not run in the red for long periods. The inverter distributes the power and the load is limited to the inverter capacity. Irrespective of what the actual source power is, solar; battery; grid; generator, you are limited by the inverter capcity
Since you are powering everything through the inverter, whether the grid provides the power, or the batteries, or a combination you cannot exceed the maximum 8kW.
I wondering if someone can educate me on the below. So currently I have 8kva single phase Sunsynk hybrid inverter that is connect to my DB Board with 63A breaker. Recently the breaker tripped when we accidentally went over 8000watt load. I have noticed the following for you to read later when you have time: a. The inverter showed no fault error. b. I dropped the load & moved the inverter / grid changer over switch from inverter to grid. I then reset the breaker and the breaker did not trip. c. However the breaker keep tripping when I move the changer over from grid to inverter - even with minimal load. d. I would of understand that I have a faulty breaker if the breaker keeped on tripping on both changer over switch on inverter and grid at the same load. However this is not the case. It does not trip with the change over switch set to grid, but does when set to inverter. I have the following question based on the above: I understand that my interver is limited to only being able to supply it rated load of 8000w and 2 times its rated power for 10 seconds. However my understanding was that in a scenario of a load of 9000w the inverter would intelligently only supply 8000w and the additional 1000w would "pass through" the inverter coming from the grid and that the inverter would not trip. Is my understanding incorrect? Why do you think my breaker tripped? Why do you think my breaker does not trip when the my change over switch is set to to grid, but trips when my change over moves to inverter with a small load? Any general advice you would give my scenario?
I am creating the same system - My understanding is its working correctly. The LOAD output is the UPS output and so IS limited to 8kw. The load 'sharing' you describe only happens when the consumer unit is linked to the GRID input. It's a GRID-TIED inverter so the GRID 'input' is actually an input and an output [see other videos.
Very much depends on the design but if 63A breaker trips it must have seen more than 63A current. Does the breaker also protect from the residual current? Is your earth and neutral separate or bonded?
Check all communication connections, check all firmware versions are the same, check all inverters are the same model. Check all parallel running settings are correct, one master, the rest slave. Correct phase selection etc.

Hi i would like to know if Zoxcell 7.5kwh supercapacitor batteries are compatible to be used with the sunsynk 8kw single phase hybrid inverter?
Thanks Keith
i would love a link to the manual and a link to download this presentation for my staff
The manual will be available on our website probably tomorrow or the latest Friday
@@sunsynk Will you still be making the referenced training manual available for download?
Hi Kieth hope you are well when looking at my screen my soc is showing in voltage and not pasentage what is the problem
I think maybe you selected battery type AGM V. Selecting AGM % or Lithium would show percentage.
Good day. Can you connect connect a Grid-tie inverter to sunsynk gen in port. Therfore using the grid-tie inverter as a generator.
Yes you can😊 victron or something suitable

Are you in South Africa
Yes i am
Where can I have proper sunysink training in Harare
Mmmm. We imported and sold Sunsync, had so many that came back and returned to supplier. Changed over to Luxpower and SRNE. No comebacks.
It is a good kit but I think documentation and software is a bit of a let down for now. The good thing is they are getting better.
Hi, why did you not include the link to the two manuals you are recommending here?
www.sunsynk.org/manuals
Where do we find the training manual? I only see a installer manual on the website?
Do you need to use both MPPT's or can I use just one. If I am using 8x 545W panels.
I guess if you are not overloading DC input then that's fine on one. But a single MPPT would only be able to handle half the rated power. So if you have 8KW inverter you are fine. If 3.6 then during sunny days MPPT is limiting input and you are not getting all the power the panels could output.
Just a question on the 450 VOC for the panel input, is that per MPPT or total of 450 for both MPPT?
Be per mmpt input
Question, the manual says that it is not good to keep changing the setting for how far the battery can run down before the mains charge it. Why?
because if you lower it top low and then dont get charge back in time you may end up with a flat battery with a voltage that would not allow the bms or battery to wake up and then would need manual charging
Could you pls do a installation video on lifelynk gamma sysstem
Hi, Keith I currently have a SolarEdge inverter in the loft. Can these be used as AC coupled inverter I.e. AC output of SolarEdge into SunSynk

No you cant exceed 8kw.

Since you are powering everything through the inverter, whether the grid provides the power, or the batteries, or a combination you cannot exceed the maximum 8kW.
The inverter has a max pass through power of 12kw before it shuts down. 8kw will be inverted from battery/solar and 4kw comes from grid.
Good morning, I would like to to know if I can run 2 8.8 kw in parallel per phase.
Thank you

To run in parallel you need identical models, running on identical firmware.

No not at all
I hear same factory for hardware but software probably very different.
