    SolaX Invertor Not Discharging under Low Load

    Hello, I've been also having the same issue. The inverter does not pick up under low load mostly in mornings. I have hotstandby disabled too

    Solax Battery size on inverter

    Thank you. I was hoping to see if there may have been a way to calculate this amount from somewhere... maybe the API data? If for some reason the battery is not charging completely, or maybe the calibration is not correct, could we work out the power capacity of the total battery somewhere...

    Solax Battery size on inverter

    Hello, I've got a Solax X1-Hybrid-G4 inverter with 2x TP58 (master/slave) installed. I would like to know if there is a way to see the total capacity of the battery. I can see the % of the battery, but no way to knowing it in kW amount. Is there a way to see this or how to work it out? Thanks!

    Existing Solar PV system needs to install battery

    I've got a reply back from SolaX support. They have said to use the 2 meters and crimp them using the pins 4 and 5 and then use an RJ45 splitter to connect them up. I'm now just concerned that this may cancel out each connector as they will both be providing data down the single channel. They...

    Did you manage to get this sorted? I will be soon expecting to get this set up and I cannot find an answer for it too.

    Existing Solar PV system needs to install battery

    My order for the SolaX X1-Fit G4 + TP58 Batteries has been placed. Just waiting for delivery and installation. While I'm waiting I can't help but to make sure the system will be set up properly. The order from https://midsummerwholesale.co.uk/buy/solax/solax-x1-g4-fit-5 says it will only come...

    Existing Solar PV system needs to install battery

    I have economy 7 tarrif Should the battery not be fully charged from solar in darker months (which I would expect to be the case) then I am hoping for night rate to take over so it can be used in day time. My general usage is as attached

    Existing Solar PV system needs to install battery

    I have solar panels already as per my initial post. I did ask the installer for this setup... Just waiting to hear back on cost.

    Existing Solar PV system needs to install battery

    I've contacted a solar installer and he is recommending a 12.9 kwh Fox Energy Cube with a Fox ESS 5 kW inverter. Has anyone had any experience with this kit and are there any opinions of it.

    AC Inverters with multiple CT/Meter readers

    I'm looking for options of inverters which have the ability of reading solar and grid usage. This is to add onto my existing solar inverter. (The option of changing the existing inverter to hybrid is not viable at this time). Looking around with some tips provided on this forum, I see the...

    Existing Solar PV system needs to install battery

    When I mean not to benefit, I was thinking along the lines of: 1. Solar generated 2. Solar stored to battery 3. Excess solar pumped back to grid I'm not sure where the meter would fit in if we have multiple AC lines going into the inverter. I am quite a n00b on this and basing my limited...

    Existing Solar PV system needs to install battery

    From what I recall a while back, if something was to go wrong and needing to be replaced, it was needed to be done with a like for like or almost equivalent. At present, all solar generated is sent directly back to the grid and every bit is accounted for by the installed meter. The generation...

    Existing Solar PV system needs to install battery

    Unfortunately, any changes to the existing set up will void my Feed-in-Tariff which I have with the energy company for the energy I send back.
