4 MWh SRNE ASF48100U200-H 10kw.

So I can fit 2 of the ASPs on the wall behind the drill press. I'd likely also add a 100 amp sub panel that is fed from them, then feed that back to the main panel.
Underneath all that will be the next battery rack, it's an interior wall so it will be much easier to keep them warm in the winter.

I don't have enough room on the exterior wall to mount 2 ASPs. I'm thinking I should hang everything on some strut, making it much easier to yank everything when I move.
It would also force me to clean up organize a little bit. 😂


4.4MWh on the ASF.
Why can't we have graphs like this year round...
Happy Friday!

wonder why the grid was used. batteries should've been able to cover this load
 
I'm pretty sure that's an MPP / Voltronic.
Yeah from the image and descriptions it is identicle. Always a problem with these companies that throw their own label on a product knowing who the OEM is. Especially since they seem to mix and match every few months.

However I am reluctant to say that is a Voltronic as I could get scolded. :p

Try disabling it. I suspect there is a spike solar assistant isn't catching causing the inverter to bypass to grid. I had the same issue with my tp6048 after I first commissioned it when the well pump would cycle; disabling bypass on overload solved the problem.
You could also turn off the grid breaker.
As long as you have enough battery to keep the BMSs happy, I'm confident the SRNE will handle the surge.
 
This is what you’d want

Not worried. If it felt like switching over that's fine with me. Just curious is all.

In other news my fully solar powered space is now occupied and it is shocking how much power is needed with all utilities being electric. No idea how the fully off grid people are able to do it
 
Q. Would ASF48100U200-H share the load with grid and battery in case of overload?
If the load increases to say 12k will it get the extra 2k power from the grid and supply almost 10k from the battery?
Reason I am asking is I plan to use this mostly from solar and grid will be just a backup and some battery charging instances overnight at about 20A max and that is why I was thinking of using 8/3 (I have a piece that will work) for inverter input and 6/3 for inverter output. Is this configuration ok?

No, it will bypass to utility. It' can't blend the power.
I would not use the 8 AWG for the input.

I ended up using 6awg on AC in/out, but honestly looking at the wires coming off the top of the connectors, I am pretty sure SRNE did not use 6wg internally. I just flipped the power on, so now I have to try to figure out how to use it :p Any secrets to hooking up Solar Assistant?

I didn't check them but appeared to be at least 8AWG and silicone coated. I'll see if I can see any size on them.

Make sure your own the latest stable or beta, plug a USB B cable into the inverter and the USB A end into the pi, select SRNE for the inverter type in SA configuration settings, enjoy.

Do you have any idea how many of those cables I have thrown away? :p I had to steal my only one off my garage solar setup. Works, but I guess you can't run two different type of inverters at the same time?
 
This unit is so much quieter than the EG4 6000EX / MPP Solar LVX6048. The volume of noise actually seems similar, but the pitch/sound is much less (if that makes sense).

Yes because I had to rob the only one I could find from my Eurodyne tuning software... Shit I just realized I need to order another one for the 2nd inverter.

No, the have to be the same OEM, unfortunately.

Makes perfect sense, I said pretty much the same thing about my TP6048 in my ASF thread.
 
I just noticed this in the manual. Where is everyone grounding this?
I just grounded it to the ground in the main panel which is right next to it. Only issue so far, is I can't get the unit to charge the batteries. It is powering the loads just fine (getting tons of sun right now), but once the load goes away (mainly Air Conditioning) the PV input drops to almost nothing.
