It has absolutely been very reliable and stable, I love it so much. I off set about $150 a month using load shaving. The only issue I have had is with the Schneider Conext battery monitors. The first one I bought just plain did not work, and the second one lasted about a year. I had to tell them I was making a video about their system to even get them to think about replacing the first battery monitor. Then, after over a month of back and forth, they finally sent one. Since it has stopped working it has changed the way the load shaving works, and now I have to use time based instead of battery life, but it still works fine. I would buy more for a great price, but if I do upgrade, i will go to 48 volts to save money on wire size.

You know what? It's kind of funny you ask that because I have not had to do a reset but at the moment I am having an issue with the system not load shaving and I cannot figure out why and I have been thinking about doing a reset myself. I will probably try that tomorrow and see if it fixes my issue. Is there anything you would like me to look out for for you on having to do the reset or do you have any advice for me?

High white horses virtual church I was just admitted into the hospital I'll only be here a day or two as soon as I get out I will make a video explaining the solar mode for search

Sorry it has taken me this long to see this comment. I have the 4024 version as stated above and as far as I'm aware there is no way to adjust that. Now with that being said I have had an issue when I had incorrectly entered the amount of amp hour storage capacity of the battery I had and this caused an issue to the MPPT controller telling it that the battery pack needed more charging time but yet the battery was already full. This caused me an instance where I had high voltage output as well I lowered the battery bank and power capacity by 50amphrs and now when the battery bank charges up during the middle of the day and is at 100% and the sun is still shining I do not get the high voltage error. Hi KZbin :-) and the sun is then completely converted into usable renewable electricity. What I also did to help with this issue is I have SOC enabled and set to load shave when The battery pack reaches 90% and stops load shaving when it drops to 30% I have my load shave amps set between 2.5 and 1.5 depending on how fast I want it to drain the battery or how much energy I want to consume during an amount of time. So for instance if I knew the power was only going to be out for a short period then I would draw more power with a lower amperage set to load shave so 1.25 to 1.5 whenever it's on standard I don't know how long the power will be out I want to try to save so I only set it to 2.5 and above that way it doesn't draw too much power from the batteries and case of full power loss I still have a backup for 5 to 6 hours. I hope this makes sense Good luck and just make sure you're not trying to still charge your battery pack after it's already 100% full this will cause a high voltage error. @Tony B here are some settings like I said if more needed let me know.

@@KPKev Thanks for your response but i resolve the problem of my inverter i call the store who sold me the inverter and a Schneider specialist technician by phone and with instructions i correct the problem now my inverter is working properly with 240Vac and 120 vac output.

@@norbertrivera if you don't mind would you mind sharing how you were able to set the settings I am curious and I'm sure others would like to know as well. Thank you for letting me know I am glad you were able to get help I hope you enjoyed the system I really enjoy mine.

I haven't made any videos as of late I am thinking of making one here soon. But as to how my system is doing it is doing great I've had no issues at all with it I am saving roughly 100 to $150 during the hottest days of the summer I have it set up to load shave starting at 90% and shutting off at 30% that leaves me with about 4 hours of battery if the batteries are at 30% and the power goes out it really helps a lot on the power bill about 5000 kW per day savings

Wow nice, do you have any wind turbines ?

@@earthenergyhex actually about 6 months ago I installed a 800 watt wind turbine now to be honest I haven't put it up 100% correctly I have just mounted it to the side of my shed and stuck it up in the air about 30 ft so it's not grabbing all the wind that it could be getting and honestly I haven't noticed really any gain at all but I live in an area where we only get winds whenever it rains other than that it's really sporadic. But once I get the wind turbine to a point that it is collecting more wind energy then I will probably do a video and see how that goes Right now the wind is too erratic for my turbine because it is so low once I get it higher it will get in the mainstream wind and work a lot better.

@@KPKev great!! what settings are using for load shaving? and is your SOC enabled? is your turbine connected to your batteries or to the 4024? sorry for all the questions, lol but you seem to have similar ideas and set ups like me. and dont give a crap about whether someone likes your wiring or not. haha

@@earthenergyhex if you would like me to make a quick video on my settings I will just let me know, I will. Just wanting to make sure you're still interested I know it's been a few weeks just curious. By the way yes I do have the output of the wind generator connected to a controller that is MPPT for wind and then that is connected directly to the battery bank it is kind of a unique setup like I said I will make a video if still interested

I'm almost 100% sure it would have to be on your side. You might want to check that your browser is up to date. I've had no other complaints about issues viewing the video. Do you have any issues viewing other videos? When I upload videos to KZbin it converts it to its own format I do not have control after uploading. I'm sorry you're having issues maybe try using another browser. Good luck! Or maybe even try the option of downloading the video and then trying to view it hopefully that would help.

On the inverter itself if it says AC input that is coming from your mains AC subpanel coming from your utility provider. If you do not have a utility provider for your AC and only use a generator this is where you would hook up the generator to run as your main power until it runs out. Now the AC output on the inverter goes to a subpanel for everything powered by the inverter. When they inverter is in normal operation it runs from the main utility company AC to a sub panel for my shed and from that sub panel I run to the AC input on the inverter and then if there are any power issues from the utility company on the main AC input then the inverter will automatically switch to powering itself from the battery bank and disconnect the main AC input so no power back flows into the power grid and shock some worker or somebody. It happens so fast that the lights do not even flicker. (20ms I believe was the switching speed). The AC output from the inverter is connected to a sub panel that is not the same as my input subpanel, it is output from the inverter only and powers everything I want during a power outage. I hope that answers the question you were asking, if not let me know a little more details and I will help if I can.

Again thanks Tony I just seen this comment and it reminded me I did not directly respond about the one about my settings if you're still interested hit me up again and I will explain what my settings are and yes SOC is enabled

Also check out Norbert Riviera's comment I had some settings I just responded to on there

Yikes that comment is an eyesore and in no way helpful to anybody. This setup is constantly being changed and new components added and removed for testing purposes this is not a permanent setup and is my test bench for a bigger system. I always try to test my products before I integrate them into my home system. I hope you gained some valuable information from my video and not just here to complain. Don't be jealous of my spaghetti just because you don't have none. You would have been better off just asking me what's going on with all the wires, think before you post. There was no information in your comment that was valid for anybody and as you can see if you will have just asked a question you would have gotten an answer and not look stupid.

@@withoutbounds4152 then build a mock up utility board and plug and play any component including controllers that need comm. I've been installing off grid and a few MW systems on 20 acre Solar Farms. The comment stands as stating the obvious. Good luck and install a sense of humor on your trial and error bench!

@@tomscott7292 I can see that you're new to KZbin and undoubtedly do not know how to keep your professional opinion to yourself. Does this look like a 20 acre megawatt system, this is a do-it-yourself project and intended for people who are building their own systems not critiquing a professional installation as you have stated you work on. I have been in the air conditioning industry for over 30 years owning my own company and I would never be rude enough to tell somebody their air conditioner was an eyesore even if it was window unit. I do have a sense of humor but clearly what you said was not a joke it was your opinion and as you can read this is an informational video for people that need help or have updates on the equipment I use. I took your comment as an insult as you did not have the full information to what you were talking about. I have never claimed to be a professional electrician and nor do I want to be one this is simply a hobby and what I do to help my family save money. It really upset me and you struck a nerve and then tried to say you were joking, a joke has a punchline I did not see one. But enough bickering thank you for at least watching the video, I do appreciate that, just remember not everybody is a professional in your field and they may not be looking to put the time and effort into a mock-up to make it look professional. I will definitely take your suggestion to try to make things as plug and play as possible but just realize people do things their own way if they are not professionals in that trade. I'm sure my air conditioning skills would run circles around yours. Have a great day I'm not trying to start an argument just trying to get you to understand not everbody is on your level as far as being an electrician. I'm also Navy trained as an aviation electronics engineer and I keep my opinions about other people's stuff to myself and try to remain positive and give uplifting information. By the way I plan on leaving the comments for everybody to read. This is information in itself.

I get roughly the same thing, I don't count on the SPC for an exact measurement of the battery but I do use it to set the settings taken into account the difference of the two and compensate as needed so the battery isn't improperly drained.

I have 400 amp hours worth of storage at 24v and I have my charge rate at 40%

@@KPKev Thanks I appreciate it, I think im still going to play it safe at 10%.

Awesome no problems at all

Thanks for the reply, I personally only have one. I was going off what a rep told me and what I seen in the information booklet.

@@KPKev you can add a second one with its own battery bank as a separate system. If you want to parallel them you have to get the conext XW .

The SCP is just a way to change settings on the Context SW. The combox is just a web browser and shows the details of the system. You can also change settings remotely via the combox. Do know that every time the power resets or is turned off and then turned back on the combox it will reset the network address on the box and you will have to get it again. The SCP is a set it and forget it. The combox is a browser interface with settings.

@@KPKev thanks! One more question... How can I make the SW inverter communicate with a 60-150 MPPT? Is that possible? Do you prefer the scp over the combox if we have power cuts in our region?

@@kosanrachid7417 The Mppt must be xanbus compatible. If you have lots of power cuts and do not need to remotely monitor the system then I would get the SCP if you need to remotely monitor the system then I would spend the extra money and get the combox

@@KPKev how do you connect it to the SW? Using an Ethernet cable?

@@kosanrachid7417 yes then install a Terminator on the other ethernet ports and the system will automatically recognize the new devices and you can see them in the SCP menus

Yes there is a way to set the charger to automatically come on when the voltage drops below a specified voltage. Look up recharge voltage and set that. You also need to set up your charger and your charge block for when you do not want the charger to run like during in the day or you can turn charge block off setting the same time.

@@KPKev that is if i have the conext mppt charger am i right? The thing is that i have an outback flexmax 80 connected to the solar array. Some one told me that if i dont have the conext mppt charger i cannot set it. Is it true?
