Thanks wheisenburg for the feedback. This is a picture of the most current AC buss configuration which seems to be working without a hitch. I do have one question. Is it typical that the master always puts out more power than the slave and is this ok? For instance, not much draw right now but...

Both inverters are showing this message. Dashboard shows batteries at 56.1V.

After ten plus days with no sun to speak of, we are getting a week of it. Batteries are getting full already and I got the error message below. Any cause for alarm? What should I do about this?

So BentlyJ was kind of right....it didn't start out that way but as soon as I figured out that it wasn't a generator issue, this post started to duplicate an on going post I started about the commission of this system. If you're interested, the title of the other post is "Schneider XW Pro...

So the good news is the inverters are staying on. The Master shows 27.5 amps and the Slave shows 27.9 amps. InsightHome shows 3.3kw coming from the generator. Thoughts?

Good advice 400bird, High Battery cutout was 65, tried to get to 56.6, lowest it will go is 58. Bulk Termination Voltage is 54 and that is the highest it will go so 56.2 is not possible. I'm about to give the generator a try with these new tweaks.

I tried lowering the specs for Bulk Termination and High Battery Cutout and when I hit apply they usually turn green when accepted. They turned red.

I do have the Conext Battery Monitor system but the one they sent me would never connect with the InsightHome. They are sending me a new one. I think I posted these before but here are the Pytes battery specs that were sent to me.

Sorry, this one has all the settings open

learn something new everyday

What is the easiest way to post all the settings?

Sorry Bentley, Schneider TS led me to believe my problem was a generator issue not a commission issue, so I started this post asking for ways to regulate the voltage from the generator and it progressed from there. The other post is just a continuation of my commissioning trials and...

When working with Schneider TS, he had me put the slave inverter in standby and just try the master. Nothing really happened. The generator was running but the inverter wouldn't ramp up and cutout like before. It just wouldn't accept the incoming charge from the generator at all, where as...

Maybe, but the generator never misses a beat. It's the inverters that stop the whole process from continuing. Like I said, this is a new commission and all new to me so any help would be appreciated. There is some talk on these threads about tweaking the inverter parameters to better qualify the...

It doesn't really shutdown, it just reverts back to where it was before the amperage starts to climb. I'll try to explain the sequence of events. Generator is running. (at this point in time all this is done manually) Input breakers to the AC2 Gen terminals are turned on. AC2 lights on inverters...

New system, just commissioned last week, tried to get the generator (Honda EU7000is) to charge the batteries through the inverters. (2 XW Pro's) Amperage levels climbed to 60-70A on the inverter display and inverters shut down. Talked to Schneider TS and they said voltage was too high coming out...

I'm sorry that was 60-70 amps on the inverter. It is the inverter that cuts out. The generator is putting out 252.8 volts and the TS from Schneider says that is too high and is why it's shutting down because it's not 240 volts. I am using the Honda EU7000is generator. Any thoughts on controlling...

Except for the lack of sun, things seem to be working ok. A few problems I have to address like connecting the generator start switch to the outgoing harness so that the AGS will automatically start the generator when needed. Schneider has addressed the battery monitor issue and is sending out a...

Thanks Bentley for the video. Helpful although some of it went right over my head. Hi Ron, sorry to hear about your health issues. Hopefully the road gets a little smoother. I have 36 400watt panels, wired as three strings of 12. Not sure what you'll learn from me but I'm an open book so glad to...

Well that all seemed to work fine so far. Thank you both for all your help. Wondering if anyone is available to help with final commission setup. I have a sunny day, I have set as many things as I can figure out but a few things are worded differently than the specs I am not sure what to do. No...

Thank you BentleyJ. It looks like I am on the right track since this looks like my 9:52am post. ( I should have labeled these drawings I did) What I like about the other drawing I did at 9:33 is that it uses the bypass interlock plate and makes things a little safer and accomplices the same...

I have one 200 amp main panel that is fed off the inverters from the AC Load terminals.

or this? I'm thinking the other diagram with the bypass interlock plate in the middle would be better.

Am I getting close?

Please, one or both of you, draw it out like I did exactly what you're talking about and post it. It would be very helpful.

Thanks BentleyJ. I've added the transfer switch because of a previous suggestion that it might be handy to have a direct connection from the generator to the main panel and bypass the inverters. I think that is a good idea and all is accomplished in my crude drawing above. Maybe I'm missing...

I'm thinking this makes sense......thoughts?

Here is the complete schematic. I started with the InsightHome and ended with the last inverter being terminated. If you look at the picture of my system, I start from the left and ended with the last inverter on the right. If anyone has any ideas on how to setup that AC buss with the generator...

Thank you both for the input. I'll take your advice and add the bypass for the generator. I was afraid if I started things up as drawn, bad things would happen. I'll make that change and post the results. InsightHome is self terminating and the last inverter's xanbus network was terminated.

I get what you're saying about the standardized examples but this system was supposed to be custom designed for my specific wants and needs and the schematic which I have followed to the T were drawn based on those perimeters and I paid extra for that service. The generator I'm using presently...

After testing all connections and cables in the Xanbus network and moving the battery monitor into different locations in the system, I isolated it with only the InsightHome and inverter to power it and it still doesn't show up. It, by itself, shows information but doesn't show up on my...

I need help. I have installed a 14.4kw solar system designed by Alt E and I am ready to commission but for a few problems. I have 2 XWPro Inverters, PDP, 3 Conext MPPT 100 600 charge controllers, 2 MPPT disconnect RS switches, Conext battery monitor, Conext AGS, InsightHome and 6 Pytes Ebox...

Thanks Super Seems like there are millions of videos on how to install solar panels which seems to me to be quite straight forward. Very few talk about how they get the power leads off the roof and into the building especially on metal roofs. Maybe I'm not searching using the right phrasing.
