no call back from the installers today - will let you know the outcome
CT clamp on wrong direction?
It doesn't appear to be a data lag issue.
The behaviour is consistent for the full day. According to the app:
Waiting on a call back from the engineer since this morning.
The app only updates once every 5 mins. The data comes from the cloud, not from the inverter.
You'd need to be using the RS485 interface and a Raspberry Pi or similar to get live stats
Thanks - view in the app view looks good now.
Battery discharge seems to be 0 since install. Consumption seems to stay between 18 - 25 watts regardless running kettle / monitor / pc etc.
Will keep an eye on it today and contact the installer
Yes, so just click on "Other Info >" and change it
On grid type = Distributed all power on grid, so looks like a configuration issue?
What is your Intro > On-grid Type ?
Should be Storage System if you have a Hybrid Inverter
Sorry never user Solarman. Should installers not be including the data logger for the Solis Cloud now? Much much better in my view.
Thanks for your help, i'll get back onto the installers tomorrow if it looks like unexpected behaviour.
1 - only generation stats visible in the summary graphs - no consumption,grid, battery etc
2 - Plant type = Residential Rooftop. System Type = All on Grid (from solarman website login)
3 - battery shows as charged but 0 discharge after sun has gone down
Can you give us a screen shot then we can guide ya, I hope
Maybe your site was setup on the app with the wrong Plant type. Sounds like it knows nothing about your battery - correct ?
when you launch the app, you will see your current production, production today, consumption today and soc.when you select check the plant, you get a graphical display of your system showing production, grid,battery,and consumption.you can see where the power is going.Now school down to the 24 hour trend and you see more info.To change the data you can see you need to touch in the graph, and then you can select whatever parameter you need.Ido this by toggle the headings, and just selecting one at a time.
Hope this helps
installer sorted the solarman app set up, it was a little rushed and I didnt spot the basic level of info available on the app until he left
Did your installer not sort it while on site? Or did you not realise it was not working until they had left?
New system installed today. Attic box shows, usage, what is going to grid vs battery vs usage etc. But app (solarman) only gives info on current and daily generation.
How best to get the full picture of what is happening via an app?
Ah, got ya, I too have same setup as Graememk, dedicated hot water cylinder and cold water from attic tank to pumped shower
Brand new showerhead on that lower mixer - problem is pressure due to simple physics. 1 bar = 32 ft drop of water. Since I have maybe a 5 foot drop from the top of the water height on the tank in the attic to the shower head, I've maybe 1/5 Bar water pressure as the system is gravity fed. The T90 of course has it's own little pump internal to it, so that's fine.
Never an issue before as I never used the immersion to heat water, so that 2nd lower mixer in my picture was unused for years. I was just using the T90 and didn't even have a shower hose fitted on the lower mixer, because with the T90 just heat what you use, so it was more energy efficient. However since I've "free" (it's not free I paid for the eddi !) water via solar for many months of the year - wanted to take advantage and hence my need for a pump now.
Sorry - thought it would be a problem eddi owners would have come across here, but yeah, I'll search for a plumber to do the pump install. Thanks lads.
Ok I have two showers in house a T90(silent version) and a Triton 2000 XT. The XT is connected to the hot/cold water and my house is a bugalow so its at the same height as the immersion tank which I think is your issue. I actually prefer the XT to the T90, it would have better pressure I think and it will use the water generated from the solar PV. I think the XT is now gone but I am sure Triton have a replacement model.
You could repalce the T90 with a power shower (which has a pump in it but doesn't heat the water) and connect the second mixer to it. That will cover the area left open by the T90 and fix the pressure problem at the same time.
Or do you already have a second showerhead connected and it's just the pressure that's the problem? In that case, removing limescale from the second shower hea first and hen installing a pump between the immersion tank and the showerhead second is the way to go.
Haha - it'd be like "waterboarding" myself ! LOL
Here me out.. 2 showers at the same time! Would be like standing under a water fall!
LOL - naah you guys are missing the point. :-) Although I do appreciate the willingness of people to help. It's one of the best traits of boards.ie if you ask me. For reals.
I'm hesitant to continue as it's a little off topic, but if you'll indulge me to clear it up. The T90 is fine. Works well and has performed admirably over the 7 years I've lived here since I bought the place. It's the usual 3-4 liters/min which you'd expect for this type of thing. Shower looks like this.
I inherited this layout when I bought the place. The 2nd mixer goes back to the immersion tank, and considering I'll shortly have an eddi etc, that means that I'll have hot water available in the tank and the need to use the Triton is removed as I'll have hot water there. Problem is, is that the shower is on the same vertical height as the immersion tank, and since there's only maybe 1-2 meters of "head" to the top of the tank in the attic, the pressure is pants on that lower mixer. Needs a pump as it's only 1/4 bar I guess.
Hence my desire to get a pump in. I could in theory remove the T90 after doing do, but then I'd have pipes to close off, tiling (assuming I have spares tiles), waterproofing etc so I'll probably just leave the T90 there for 8-9 months of the year where it will be unused due to the eddi.
If you are doing some replumbing use bigger pipe as far you can then reduce to 1/2" .
I've a boost pump for a shower, it's a dual chamber one, pumps hot and cold.
The shower does have a dedicated hot and cold supply though (one pipe straight from the cold water tank and another from the hot, nothing else on the line)
Turn your shower to coldest setting, if there’s plenty of pressure then fitting a pump is no good as your pressure is being lost from heating the water, remember these showers are designed for low pressure systems…
Cheers, will do.
email euservice@solisinverters.com, eu-service@solisinverters.com & europe-service@ginlong.com with your model and serial number and they will do the update remotely. Also mention you are based in Ireland as some of the software versions can depend on your location.
I got mine updated to version 35 last week.
Nice. How do I get the software update?
If you get the latest software you can separate the discharge from the battery and the charging from the grid.
I have charging from the grid "not allow" and time of use configured which means the house runs off the grid during the night rate and doesn't discharge the batterry
