Sure if the peak voltage is not getting to the battery then low SOC will result. Programming may be a result of comms issues poor or due to old firmware. Jerry On Fri, Apr 22, 2022, 10:31 AM William Miller via RE-wrenches < re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> wrote: > Friends: > > > > We are setti

William, You can can set the sell voltage to 54.4 and that will help force a fuller charge prior to selling. Has worked for me on a site that had the same symptoms. You will find that these batteries can be 100% at both 55.2 as well as 54.4due to the flat-ish voltage/soc curve. Hope that helps.

I have only seen this if you have spotty signal strength to the inverter, are you hard lined out or a bridge Jerry On Fri, Apr 22, 2022, 10:31 AM William Miller via RE-wrenches < re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> wrote: > Friends: > > > > I installed a Radian AC coupled system a few months ago.

I think if the MATE3S is left in the settings screen, OpticsRE can’t edit remotely. Exit the Settings section on the MATE3 (entered with the LOCK button) and you should be able to use OpticsRE to make changes. Since you might be rolling a truck, bring the latest MATE3S firmware with you, espec

Friends: I installed a Radian AC coupled system a few months ago. We are trying to dial it in to work with a Blue Planet battery system. I cannot make any adjustments remotely through Optics. Once in a while if I reset the gateway I can change one setting, but rarely does it succeed. The li

Friends: We are setting up our first Blue Planet system. It is AC coupled with an SMA SB7-21 back-feeding a Radian 8048.We followed all of the recommended settings when commissioning. The battery SOC is chronically stuck at 90% as displayed by the Blue Planet BMU. I think the problem is

I don't know the answer to your question specifically, but in Florida we are light years away from Smart Grid requirements. The latest net metering law debacle here carries us through the end of the decade. I don't think smart grid is a battle that anyone is going to fight here anytime soon, so the

Hi Wrenches, I recently had a friend install a Fronius Primo inverter in California. When he submitted for interconnection, PG&E said it didn't meet the current smart inverter requirements. Here is the response from Fronius tech support: "The Fronius Primo and Symo line are not compliant with Rul
