Charge from grid not working
Good Morning,

For the last couple of days I have tried to force charge my battery from the fridge between my off peak hours of 00:30 -05:30.

At first i thought it was because I was charging the car between these hours aswell but I have also tried while not charging my car.

I have tried both ways through mode scheduler and through grid charge settings.

If anyone could help with this I would be truly grateful!

Re: Charge from grid not working
Check your Import limit hasn’t been set incorrectly, that will stop any charging.

You find that at the Inverter in Settings (0,0,0,0), on-grid, Export Control,

Dependiing on you inverter there may be 1 or 2 settings called Importlimit `Cur & Pwr’

InportLimitCur should be set to your main incoming fuse size (if in doubt set at 80A, normally defaults to 100A)

ImportLimitPwr should be set to at least your inverter max output i.e. an H1 6 it should be 6000 watts, but if you have lots of heavy loads / EV / Heat Pump - set it much higher to 15000 watts.

Hi Dave,

Thank you for your response.

I have made these changes and will see what happens tonight.

My export limit is set to 0w would this make a difference?

Here are the settings I have in place

Yes when exporting it will clip to 0W at the moment, that should be set to your inverter maximum size in watts (or the default is 60000)

Hi Dave,

Thank you for your help, I woke up this morning with hope but unfortunately still did not work 😕

Re: Charge from grid not working
I now have a bigger issue, the inverter keeps resetting itself every few seconds…it goes to checking gets to 5% and then restarts itself….i have tried turning everything off and leaving it for 10mins and is still doing it….there is some clunking noises in the inverter …. I have left it all powered off for now as I don’t know how to fix this 😕
Re: Charge from grid not working
It sounds like your batteries don’t have enough charge to maintain the inverter, it will restart when there is sufficient solar to maintain it’s operation but you need to get charge into the batteries - are they very cold ?, you can see the current temp in the app, in device, battery.
Re: Charge from grid not working
Good morning Dave,

I am unable to check the temp of the battery as it doesn’t stay on long enough to communicate with the app.

The battery has a flashing S.

Re: Charge from grid not working
It’s all back on now finally….how do I prevent that from happening again…is it something to do with the settings on the inverter I changed yesterday?

I have changed mine SOC from 10% to 20% to see if that prevents it from happening again
Re: Charge from grid not working
Going back to the force charge I have set this up to try and see if I can get it working but still doesn’t look to be fore charging the battery

Re: Charge from grid not working
If you now have App access, what temperature is your battery reporting currently?
Re: Charge from grid not working
Hi, it’s all working as it should now and have even got the mode scheduler working, thank you for replying.

Re: Charge from grid not working
Glad to hear, let's hope it behaves for you now.

Page 32 of the manual, Standby with low SoC

The S LED should have gone solid for when it was charging, keep manual for future reference as the fault codes are on the next page
Re: Charge from grid not working
That’s perfect thank you very much 👍
