Sunsynk (DEYE) Hybrid Inverters

Ok so what tweaks can be made? Using Deye 12 kW FYI, battery is quite large (~50kWh) so I need to dump power right after charging on EV rate:

Edit - Strange, cant seem to get the automation working. Its switches the work mode but draws from the grid instead of using the battery entirely. When I switch the Work moder timer back on I can charge / discharge the battery with no issues. What is the trick to getting the automation working?

I got this msg in the automation log also: '[Fri Jun 20 00:00:13] Active table row changed twice in 15m00s. Suspending rule table automation for 10m00s. Consider adding a gap between table row end and next row start.'

Edit 2 - ok I think I misunderstood how the automation works. I think it makes sense now. It's used in conjunction with the timer. My automation just sets the work mode condition. So I've matched the work mode times with those of Automation #2 - work mode

Hi everyone I need some guidance on settings for Deye inverter with a 16Kw DIY batter.
I just manage to assemble the battery and connected to the inverter, but no joy.
Inverter will connect to the battery, but seems not to use it to power the house(discharge).

This is late in the evening when not much power produced from PV, and I was expecting to use the battery for sustaining the house load.

P.S. Battery was not charged after assembly.

I then enabled charge from grid, in battery settings, second menu, and is charging just fine with around 40A as set.

I have not tried to enable time of use. I don't want to export from the battery, at least not yet.

I will enable it for a test tomorrow.

I enabled Time of Use and battery is powering the load.

I was expecting to work without it enabled according to the manual.

For those of you with the 8.8kw deye inverter what is the max in terms of panels you have connected. I see the max voltage mentioned online is 500v which seems low considering it can take over 10000w pv input.

Currently have 400v max connected to one mppt of my sofar and 250v max to other but on a 6kw inverter. It specified 600v max input. Just surprised that a bigger inverter has a lower max voltage

@SD_DRACULA think I recall from posts here you have this deye model. In terms of input to yours what voltage have you on each mppt?

Fyi, If you parallel PV strings they should be fused.

Sorry to jump in but could you please tell me where you bought the Deye (or Sun Synk) inverters? I haven't been able to find out who the official distributor is in Ireland and am a bit concerned that if we get one from an unofficial distributor there might be issues with getting support or downloading updates or something like that? Maybe that wouldn't be a problem though..

We are looking to get a single phase 12Kw inverter. Would really appreciate any info on where to buy it.

Thank you for that.

I presume the ESBN restriction only applies if you are connecting to the grid?

Solarboss want €2k incl. VAT and shipping for a Sunsynk 5.5kW 😂

Even at the height of the market in 2022, they were €1350 + VAT in Kelliher's (who no longer stock them)

Handy to have an alternative like Solarboss around, I actually bought a single solar panel from them a couple months ago as non of the others did as big a panel as they had. But expect to grossly overpay if you buy from them…

You should enable Grid Charge in your last picture.

If I enable grid charge in battery settings will this not charge the battery outside the time of use schedule?

I dont want to charge the battery from grid if it gets bellow 30% during the day.
