@bandgap - Curious, what model panels did they use?

@Ryushin - Looks like you have a 'comma' instead of a decimal. For example, instead of 3.220 kW in array 1 you have 3,220 kW... a big difference that is throwing your numbers off.

Has anyone brought this issue to Sol-Ark's attention?

I need them for RSD and I like the monitoring. The delta between the optimiser version and the RSD only version was pretty small so I went for it. You may be correct, but I'm assuming that they aren't making things WORSE. I hope I am not wrong.

I'm actually exploring getting into the solar install game, because I love this stuff and after interviewing companies in my area (and deciding to DIY), they are almost universally not well versed in the tech or the pricing is just super bloated. So yes, I'm also looking at the Tigos from...

@Lt.Dan yes I've definitely searched. I just find it hard to believe that there's no other optimizer solutions on the market. @zanydroid I'm less concerned about the local monitoring aspect and also about the 15 minute resolution than I am with the fact that the optimizers rely on a wireless...

I'm wondering if there are other optimsers on the market that would be compatible with a Sol-Ark as I am frustrated with my Tigo TS4-A-O's. Main complaints: - Their cloud service is not reliable and only has 15 minute resolution without paying extra (and is closed source, can't locally...

You might want to also look at getting a second hphwh and running it in parallel with the first, that should enable you to stay on heap pump only mode indefinitely.

Also, seems at least theoretically possible to access the data locally. https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/discussions/18020 Any great programmers on here that want to help?

Found this: Blind Deployment is defined as any arrangement of TS4 MLPE units being used WITHOUT monitoring enabled (.i.e., no communication via CCA or TAP): Albeit, this type of deployment can function for an undetermined amount of time, it offers no visibility into optimization...

It's a good point. I guess worst case you get up on the roof and start unplugging. You are motivating me to run an experiment. Does the system actually need a CCA or does it just need power to the TAP to stay alive. If it's the latter, you could just power the TAP directly.

No - I guess I was assuming it was the same as the Tigo TS4-A-O which does RSD but also optimizing and monitoring. It would be great if the Tigo would allow local data access but that doesn't seem to be in the cards. I was thinking the APSmart was similar but I guess it is more like the...

Does anybody on here have actual experience with the APSmart RSD and their cloud platform?

This is all being displayed with Grafana+HA, correct? Also, you mentioned you are doing V2H ? How exactly?

Are you teasing me? Please do share how this is happening on the backend
