@farcasvlad1977 Buongiorno, non è specificato nel manuale o nell'etichetta sull'unità (di solito indica solo le tensioni). I dettagli sul caricabatterie solare (dall'etichetta delle specifiche allegata sull'inverter) sono i seguenti: Potenza nominale: 6000 W Caricatore massimo: 110 A Tensione operativa nominale: 240 V CC Massimo. Voltaggio solare (VOC): 450 V CC Intervallo di tensione MPPT: 55 ~ 450 V CC Potresti dividere la potenza nominale per Max. Voltaggio solare (VOC) per dare un'idea molto approssimativa di ciò che l'MPPT potrebbe estrarre dai pannelli in termini di ampere al carico massimo. Ti auguro il meglio, Adrian

Very interesting video, I'm thinking about buying one of these easun units prob same as yours. Was thinking just using a few small acid batteries I have and 10 solar pannels. Could I just use the power AC when theirs good sunny days directly as won't have much storage. Can you set the easun up to cut the AC Out when the solar is not enough or does it switch over to the AC in and just pass throu?
@DADvinci 4 күн бұрын
@lookoutleo You can change the priority of what powers the AC output. I've just broke this inverter, my fault (video to come), but I've got their newer version awaiting customs clearance as I type this (bit.ly/4cQXJQe). I'm also testing this at the moment s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DCZbHeX (affiliate link), video to follow in the coming weeks. This one can work without batteries if you have enough solar, still need to test that bit out. All the best, Adrian

@SynthToshi Thanks for your question. It's like a UPS. All the time there's mains power connected to the inverter, that's what will supply the two inverter sockets (regardless of DC source).

Thanks. I'm pairing the Renogy 200 watt solar panel with my Jackery Explorer 1000 because it just takes too long to charge it to full in an outlet. I'm hoping the solar panel will extend the time between charges.

@OhHapppyDaay That's a great combo! My panel is still going strong even after taking some frame damage during the storms earlier this year.

@tobykeating6773 Thanks for your question Toby. Usually, it depends on the battery capacity you have available, the more the better and the panel would keep it topped up. Providing the ambient temperature isn't too high (always keep the fridge in shade) a 100W panel could be a good place to start, although there are lots of variants to consider if you want to run the fridge constantly and solar isn’t great. An alternative power source would also be good for battery top up. Did you have a use-case for the fridge in mind? All the best, Adrian

@DADvinci Ай бұрын
@martinnichols45 Thanks for your question Martin. Are you using it from battery or with the mains power brick? I'd suggest going with the lower temp figure first, especially if ambient temp is high, but keep an eye to ensure that the things in the fridge remain as cold as you'd normally expect/want. I initially set my fridge to 1C and regularly checked nothing froze and now leave it around 2C. Each fridge is a little different which is why they have the calibration settings, but you’ll get a feel for where it sits, unless you have a temp sensor you can place inside to get a definitive idea on what you need it to be. Please let me know if you are using battery as that will determine where you need to leave the protection settings. Eco should work fine, but I use Max when loading it up to ensure it keeps the temp down where it should be. All the best, Adrian

The battery protection levels are really there to prevent flat starter batteries in cars, campers, etc, so in your case you could put it on low as it shouldn't make any different to your Ecoflow.

Tried it twice, same result. I am going to try again with my Jackery, but not sure it will make any difference.

@rilosvideos877 Thanks for your kind feedback, I'm glad it was useful 👍. With the inverter on and no-load the clamp meter measures around 1.3A from the battery cable. With power saving mode on it uses around 0.4A, so not 2W as claimed. I didn't get any amps registered on my plug monitor when connected to the grid (not charging the battery). It's difficult to say when the fan kicks in as it seems to be based on load and inverter temperature (heat builds slowly over time even in standby, no-load), but as shown, the fan response is much better than my MPP solar 24V equivalent. These cheaper inverters are not quiet, especially under higher load or when solar is generating a decent amount. If you are after passively cooled or inverters with extremely low standby, the cost goes up quite a bit. This was always a purchase of the cheapest I could find and I've been pleasantly surprised with how well it has performed and continues to do so. I hope this helps. All the best, Adrian

Hello, could you please advise if you know regarding charging voltage from solar? I have got easun smh-II-2.2k with lifepo4 12v battery connected and it seems that inverter cannot charge it full, only till 13.5v. Settings are user with bulk and float charge at 14.4v. I also noticed on the side of the unit there's a sticker and it says that AC Charger mode gives only 13.5v DC output. Thanks

@captainpacific6796 Good day and thanks for your question. I've not got the 12V version of this EASUN inverter range, (only 24V & 48V) but I bulk charge at double yours (for 24V) at 28.8V and I set my float to 27.2V (equivalent to 13.6V for your 12V system). Not much point going above this as only a small amount left. When I've tested using the AC charger on my 24V system, I've managed to get it into the 28V range (when setting the float higher) but it's usually the BMS on the battery that stops the charging as one cell hits 3.65V first. Is your battery balanced and it's not the BMS preventing it from going higher? In addition, you should find the solar and/or AC charging disconnects when the voltage gets to target voltage (as per setup) on the inverter or the BMS prevents charging due to high voltage disconnect. The AC charger spec appears to be a reference voltage (27V for my 24V inverter) as I can set mine higher, but don't see the need personally. All the best, Adrian.

These high frequency, transformerless inverters have a much shorter life expectancy and a far poorer surge capacity than a low frequency, transformer based low frequency inverter.
@DADvinci 4 ай бұрын
@quickquote1568 Completely agree. It's all about choice and application though. Both have pros and cons, personally never had a HF inverter fail. The weight and cost are obvious differences, with LF being better for larger inductive loads like motors/compressors and longevity.

@@DADvinci Your very fortunate to never have experienced the failure of a high frequency inverter. I repair inverters for a living, several thousand over the past 24 years and the vast majority over 80% of the inverters that I have repaired have been high frequency inverters. When we did get a low frequency inverter in for repair, it was primarily due to lighting strikes, exposure to the elements, rodent infestation or miswiring where the output of the inverter was connected to the grid.

HI, thanks for the nice video. at 5:42, i see some sort of inverter menu, thats shows "fault" tab. Does this imply that one can view the history of faults on the inverter? My objective is to use this to view remotely in real time, inverters installed at project sites. being able to view faults and errors codes will assist with site maintenance. Thank you for your time.

@alexanderfrederick3632 You're too kind Alexander, thank you 👍. The dashboard seems to catch the last state of the inverter and has the list of device states which is what's shown in the video (solar-assistant.io/help/dashboard/inverter). Unfortunately, I've not found a way to track fault history as yet, although I've been looking to see if it's possible in conjunction with Home Assistant (using MQTT) which I'm using more and more for automations. I'm running the 2024-01-23 stable version of SA and there is an automation option under the Power tab, which allows you to select automation>rule table>which setting do you want to control?>record fault code with multiple options available on my type of inverter, but I'm not sure how that will work though. I'm still going to try using Home Assistant to see if I can trigger something to let me know when something isn't running right (my own definition of a fault). I hope this answers your question, please shout if you need anything else. All the best, Adrian

@alexanderfrederick3632 Sorry, should have mentioned that HA does track the changes in device mode on my type of inverter, so once it enters fault mode it should change on the tracking (but not what the fault is). So, for my inverter in HA under Entities, it's Axpert Device Mode (Entity ID sensor.axpert_device_mode) which is via the MQTT integration on SA. Cheers

I got this installed and works nicely. Regarding the app - that was a pig to set up. I didn't see a tutorial for setting that up but in retrospect it makes sense, you have to connect to the logger to set its wifi to your wifi (using their app) then it reboots and then you end up back on your wifi and hopefully it sees it. In my case I added the dongles number before that step so after it rebooted it was just there. With regard to setting inverter options I think you said it was a bit hit and miss. It works 100% of the time, the thing that makes it look like its not working is that the module only connects every 5 min. So if you make a change its up to 5 min to take effect as it sends the command on the next connection. In my case I have a small 8x12 pent garden office with a PC and air conditioning, some network switches and a few other birts and bobs and I have 6 265W Panels flat on the roof - so nothing about that setup is optimal - and yet, it comfortably powers the office even without sun. I use about 350W all day unless the AC is on which is another 900Wm but usually the sun is whats causing the problem when I need that and I have a glut of power at that time. During the night it has to use mains but I still consider that a win.
@DADvinci 4 ай бұрын
@dr_jaymz Great to hear you got it working after the fiddly dongle setup. The whole reboot process caught me out the first time, but really handy for connecting to other inverters as it's plug 'n' play with the comm port (similar inverters), just change the name in the app when it detects a different serial number. I got round the 5 min polling by moving to solar assistant (kzbin.info/www/bejne/enmrmoadfqqXgKc) which is now my favourite monitoring method. That's a nice setup, especially with AC too! Have you considered angling the panels as this might help during the colder months when the sun is lower? All the best, Adrian
@dr_jaymz 4 ай бұрын
@DADvinci yes, I thought about angling, but when it's cloudy in winter, I might be just as well with straight up. I was suprised on friday when it was generating 1.3KW which is more than I'd hoped for. In fact now I'm a bit annoyed that I can't export to the rest of the house to offset car charging or the damn tumble dryer. This system is overpowered so it works in winter, the AC is inverting so does heat quite well but unlikely there will be enough to power that outside of BST. But given the panels produce so much maybe Microinverters would be better. Still, I'll stick with as is for now.

@dr_jaymz I see what you mean now. Have you considered just running an extension lead (fully unwound, if one of the wind-up ones) and then running some of your household appliances, one at a time? My current setup is essentially off-grid using extension leads around the house until I can get the 2 x15kWh 48V batteries on-grid (trying to find an installer). I run my dishwasher, washing machine, portable induction hob, pretty much anything I can unplug from the wall which has really worked well over recent years.

@DADvinci I think heating the hot water cylinder is probably the best and easiest. The specific heat capacity of water is astronomical and we heat that with gas daily at 4pm. So it will just take less gas and will use exactly the surplus. For solar assistant do you know the pin out? I have plenty of patch cables and usb serial adapters I googled it and found 6 different possibilities, but it's better to find someone who already has it working. I don't even even know if its serial ttl or proper 232, then I can give solar assistant a go. Conventionaly could use the cable supplied, and it rs232 would normally be 2,3,5. But you never know.

@adamganjaman2275 That's no typo, it's the Agile tariff from Octopus Energy. The prices are split into 30min chunks throughout the day and when there's too much energy on the grid (usually from wind during storms), the wholesale price of electricity can go negative as they want to balance the grid, so pay customers to use it. It's not all the time, but generally the prices for me have been lower on Agile (since I joined in Jan 2024) than what I used to pay on their fixed price standard tariff. As long as you limit the usage during peak time 16:00-19:00 when it usually goes in excess of 25-30p kWh (capped at £1 kWh). I'm trying to find a way to get my batteries on the grid so I can, in effect, trade energy to reduce my costs especially during the winter months when solar isn't generating enough. The standing charge as it stands today is ridiculous and in May my standing charge (£14.88) was almost double the cost of the actual electricity (£7.97) I used for the whole month!

Thank you for the great video! I have a 20 000 MAH Xstorm rugged powerbank with Usb port. Is it a good idea to attach this to this solar device, will the powerbank not get damaged by the sun during charging or by the inconsistent power output of the solar device? Would this be good match for this powerbank, both in the practical sense and in charging time? Kind regards from Belgium.
@DADvinci 4 ай бұрын
@sam-neyt Hey Sam! Thanks for your kind feedback👍 In theory, it should work like charging from any other USB charger or output (assuming you'll be charging via the USB-C input port on your powerbank). It wouldn't be fast charging as the USB ports can provide up to 2.4A (say around 10W in real world terms) but the advantage of this solar panel is it's compact (folded) size. It's difficult to provide a ballpark 'time to charge' figure as it depends on how the powerbank would work with the solar panel. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
