Ok thank you

I installed 2 Eg4 6500ex inverters from Signature Solar back in October of 2023 Everything was fine till I hooked up the batteries and solar to my inverter number 2. Then both units were fried. turned out there was a manufacturing defect. I got both units replaced under warranty with Signature...

I got an e-mail from the support at opsolarbattery "jakiper" and tried their instructions and I was able to get the inverter to communicate. https://www.opsolarbattery.com/forum/inverter-set-mpp-growatt-op/get-the-op-batteries-to-communicate-to-the-op-inverters

The tech said the she checked with her supervisor and confirmed that the ability to communicate with any of the 24 protocols my BMS has was removed when they reprogramed the inverter. Why would she say this? I can understand if she says it's untested and can't guarantee anything. This is two...

The point is that they reprogrammed the inverter to remove this option. But left it on the inverter menu and in the manual. It's on thing if it's untested and not guaranteed but to purposely disable while not correcting anything so show the change could be fails advertising.

the manual does say 3rd party lithium batteries. it does not say that it has been disabled. why advertise that it has the capability but then disable it without telling anyone? i have seen many products that do say they do not work with anything other than their product. this is off the...

i just got off the phone with Signature Solar tech support trying to get help with BMS communication to jakiper batteries. i was told that even though there are other modes in my inverter they are only there for show. that the other modes have been disabled. If I'm using a non signature solar...

I got them off battery hookup, they were a good deal. If i could connect I could change the bms settings to lithium ion.

I removed and Sodder the first 8 bms leads. It now reads each sell correctly. But I still can't connect to the bms over rs232 or rs485. It's in over voltage mode because this bms is still set for lithium iron Phosphates battery's and I have lithium ion battery's.

I have 4 of the Jakiper Battery DIY 48V100Ah 5kwh Home Battery BMs units. has anyone got them to work? I can't get the units to see my cells correctly or at all. I can't log on to the BMS with any cable just keeps timing out. I have reached out to support but they are not very good. they did...

I did not see that in there, I have a bunch of AGM car battery so that are still good so I hooked them up in 48 V. I wonder if that would cover it.

thank you ill look into it. i was using Dessmonitor

that makes sense but what about when I have more solar than load why can't I tell if it is not drawing from utility? is there a better app I can use that will so me more or do I need to put cpamps on the utility line and reed the amps?

No, not yet. If it's not using the grid should it no sho the grid not being used?

i added the picture, but now it shows more PV than load where is the rest going?
