This is the new addition to the Sunsynk app which makes programming a Sunsynk Inverter so incredibly simple #sunsynk #Inter-solar, #Hybrid inverter

A world first #Sunsynk electronic compressor

Keith talks us through the installation done by #ARL Energy from UK. Following advise he has provided a CT Coil has been placed on the AC power input (to the top single phase inverter). He turns on the power and checks the ‘Normal’ light is illuminated. Checks settings. This inverter is set in bi-directional mode. The bottom inverter is 3-phase. He sets the Battery to ‘Voltage’ and the discharge is 200Amps. It is not charging and there is no requirement for a Grid Signal (no Grid Peak Shaving ). System mode is set ‘Limited to Load’. There is no CT Coil on the lower inverter as no grid power is connected. Testing The house is using 5.99kW with 3.19kW coming from the battery and 2.9kW from the Grid. Select ‘Micro-Inverter’ and ‘Peak Power Shaving’ on the control panel. Job done! 😊

Keith decides to change the setup of the system. Originally the top inverter was set to charge batteries and the lower inverter was set to discharge power. After consideration, the top inverter will be set to bi-directional mode with a CT Coil installed between the inverter and the grid. This means the tup inverter will be set to power shaving and will connect to both solar and mains AC. The lower inverter will be set to Three-Phase and connect to the load.

Keith and the #Sunsynk crew are in the Netherlands and have come to assist #ARLK Energy to commission an installation using Sunsynk Inverters and Sunsynk batteries. Given that the system is located in the Netherlands, a Dutch engineer will need to certify the installation as correct and working in compliance with Dutch regulations. In this video Keith requests a modification to the installation with a proposed move of the inverters with the required power trunking. Another battery will be added plus two isolators.

Keith re-visits the work of #ARLK Energy to see how things have progressed. At present there is no AC power connected however , all 4 batteries are connected with 2 battery isolators included in the setup. The top inverter is single-phase and the lower inverter is three-phase. He confirms that there is good communications between the batteries and the ‘Normal’ light is light-up on the control panel. The Switchboard of the house will be re-configured to handle three-phase. Before everyone goes home, the batteries will be charged up overnight from the mains supply.

Keith Gough goes through the process of commissioning a #Sunsynk system. Customers can either follow this video or contact the Sunsynk call centre and ask for a brochure that explains the process. Nevertheless, we have summarised Keith’s explanation below:- 1. When commissioning your system and there are multiple batteries, make sure they are connected and talking to each other. 2. Connect #batteries to the inverter. 3. Switch on isolators (between batteries and inverter). 4. Power on the batteries. 5. Make sure the batteries are talking to the inverter (Check LCD display). 6. Ensure the #BMS cables are the right way round. 7. Re-check that communications between the BMS and Inverter are good. 8. If there is a problem with communications, stop what you are doing and check connections. 9. If all good, wait for all normal lights to activate and light up on the inverter. 10. At this stage the batteries are talking to each other. 11. DO NOT SWITCH ON THE AC POWER SUPPLY AT THIS STAGE. 12. Switch on the Solar array by switching on the isolator (between array and inverter). 13. The solar power (DC) will now charge the batteries (BMS). 14. The system will currently be operating in ‘island-mode’ and there will not send power back on the grid connection. 15. Check all circuits and make sure everything is talking to each other. 16. Switch on the AC and wait 60 seconds before the Inverter indicates the connection. 17. Check the #CT Coil is working. The display on the monitor screen will show the CT Coil setting and the LOAD. 18. Double - check settings. 19. Commission the Data Logger one data logger per inverter. Keith and the #Sunsynk team will be visiting the Netherlands in the next few days to look at a brilliant single-phase system which we feel demonstrates ‘the house of the future’. See you then! #sunsynk #inverter #power
