You must be getting decent weather through there. Mine are only trickle charging at about 100watts due to the cloud.Scott in Fife, 2.9kwp pv SSW facing, 2.7kw Fronius inverter installed Jan 2012 - 14.3kwh Seplos Mason battery storage with Lux ac controller - Renault Zoe 40kwh, Corsa-e 50kwh, Zappi EV charger and Octopus Go0 -
Why don't you give them an hours grid charge to 75% & then turn the inverter ac off. They should balance while they're in standby. Once all the leds have gone out they are back in balance you can switch the ac back on.I'm in Fife so yes, not that far. 👍
Had a red led (not flashing) on the master battery this morning which I'm guessing is low voltage alarm. A quick boost from the grid got rid of it.
The 2 Pylons seem to be out of balance now. The master has no green capacity leds lit while the slave has 2.
Should I disconnect the ac/dc to allow them to balance ?4kWp (black/black) - Sofar Inverter - SSE(141°) - 30° pitch - North LincsInstalled June 2013 - PVGIS = 3400Sofar ME3000SP Inverter & 5 x Pylontech US2000B Plus & 3 x US2000C Batteries - 19.2kWh0 -
Yeah, I was thinking of giving them a boost since they've been sitting at 15% or lower for a few days now.Why don't you give them an hours grid charge to 75% & then turn the inverter ac off.

Tomorrow's forecast is rubbish but Tuesday looks pretty good so might leave them at say 50% until Monday afternoon.Scott in Fife, 2.9kwp pv SSW facing, 2.7kw Fronius inverter installed Jan 2012 - 14.3kwh Seplos Mason battery storage with Lux ac controller - Renault Zoe 40kwh, Corsa-e 50kwh, Zappi EV charger and Octopus Go0 -

I'd have settled for 5kwh. We only managed 0.7kwh here.Solarchaser wrote: »Yeah I had 2kw for around an hour.

Tuesday's looking good though. If not, this looks like being our worst month to date.Scott in Fife, 2.9kwp pv SSW facing, 2.7kw Fronius inverter installed Jan 2012 - 14.3kwh Seplos Mason battery storage with Lux ac controller - Renault Zoe 40kwh, Corsa-e 50kwh, Zappi EV charger and Octopus Go0 -
December always tends to be my worst PV month, nearly over though, and then we start to see a bit more of the sunWest central Scotland
