  1. Can we find $200 in mutual aid tonight please? This is very needed to restore power at the Vulpibus so we can stop burning through our emergency fuel reserves! We also need not to have our food spoiling so fast and not to be spending every day recharging the car to at least have something to keep us warm through the night.

  2. Yesterday I had to spend some time troubleshooting my #EnergyEdge #PV #inverter that stopped communicating with the centralized monitoring system. Turns out the cellular card used LTE protocol, and the cell provider probably stopped supporting it.

    It's a known issue. But you wouldn't know that contacting support or going through their knowledge base. Reddit and YouTubers provided the info needed. Thankfully my installer gave me some other info, and was able to bypass / remove the cellular card and just use the system's wifi to connect to my home mesh.

    I was a bid dumbfounded by both the absence of any posting on the EnergyEdge support site and the complete inability of the support folks to actually answer any of my questions.

  3. Eight years ago the inverter for our rooftop solar panels failed. I found that the cause was that the solder around one of the relays had failed, causing a little damage to the PCB and the relay, which I replaced. It worked until this week (apart from a very similar failure with the circuit for the second MPPT which was also easy to fix).

    But the inverter's gone wrong again and this time I don't think I can fix it. The problem is that there's been more of a fire inside and I just don't trust a PCB which has so much carbon on and in it not to be conductive.

    It's a shame, because looking at it I think all it really needs is a bit of copper wire to replace the lifted PCB track. But I don't like the idea of possibly conductive burnt bits of PCB...

    This time around the error message was E031. Previously I had E019. I documented the previous fix here:

  4. @W_Hurless Your diagram shows a 2,000 watt inverter. I have one of those, also. It was not cheap, so I thank the Lord for it.

    My solar panel choice of material for mounting outside was aluminum and it has been very durable for many years.

  5. Deye EV charger obscurities and register 0x103

    TL;DR If you don't own a Deye inverter + EV charger1, don't read this. It's about some obscure settings that control communication of the inverter(register 0x103) with the ev-charger via Lora. It will bore you to death. It also summarizes the debate from github2. The issue - if you put your nose where it doesn't belong, you will not charge your beautiful e-car anymore Deye EV charger is controlled by Deye inverter via Lora or Wifi. Its working parameters can be accessed3 also by Home […]

  6. With about 80% of EU solar inverters coming from #Chinese suppliers, inverter supply is moving from a cost topic to a critical infrastructure dependency issue.

  7. BOOM, said this PV #inverter after a utility #surge. Those MOVs didn't stand a chance! Occasionally I like to get out into the field and look at things, and found this beauty this morning.

  8. @MyKomment I can see this without any app, straight from my #solarPV #inverter 😄

  9. I just finished the first version of a small software for managing the balcony solar plant of some family members. It works completely without any cloud or any other people's computers or even an internet connection.

    There's three panels and an inverter with a battery. Any power initially is used in the household, then if anything is left it's put into the battery for later use, or if the battery is full, fed it into the public grid (to get a small financial compensation). Or if you want to, you can override that and just charge the battery, or even charge it from the grid.

    Of course the inverter originally needs a cloud connection and comes with an app that needs a cloud connection and obviously is described as AI-powered very smart whatever. But there is a documented API for getting and setting some values! Interoperability! Without the cloud, there's hardly any logic built in. So I had to create it myself.

    It's just a few HTTP requests, json, a SQLite database, and some very basic HTML.

  10. You've all outside the USA had access to DIY "balcony solar" for ages. In the USA, we are JUST NOW getting there. Maryland and Virginia are the first two states to allow DIY balcony solar.

    Needless to say, companies are consistently sending me equipment by surprise. This thing lands in my hands last week....freaking marvelous !!

    It took me 5 minutes to start producing power. Every bit counts in the living hell we now live in.

  11. Ever since I got some new #Inverter and #Batteries for my #SolarPanels, I’ve been looking for a way to process the data they produce. To be sure, the manufacturer has a nice #WebApp but I wanted something I could tinker with. Therefore, a while ago, I bought a #HomeAssistantGreen, which is basically a #RaspberryPi #SBC which is pre-loaded with #HAOS and so is a functioning #HomeAssistant instance.

  12. 1/2 Today I finally set aside the afternoon to record my next #linuxaudio soliloquy #video for the #sample #challenge. 🤓

    After about two hours of troubleshooting, though, I had to give up. 😞

    Our new solar #inverter isn’t providing stable power—I can hear the #ups switching modes every now and then, clicking and humming when it goes on battery.

  13. A replacement #inverter has finally arrived. 🥳

    But no time to installing it. 🫣😅

  14. 250kWh #LiFePo4 😅 #DIY-Kits #EVE #MB31 & #MB56 / #iBMS / 7" Display #JK #Inverter #BMS V19 / #Natrium #Speicher

    Es ist mal wieder etwas Nachschub für die neue #Inselanlage angekommen.
    Vielleicht ist ja auch für den einen oder anderen von Euch etwas interessantes mit dabei.

  15. Designing an #OpenSource Power #Inverter

    Dennis Feucht of Innovatia Laboratories wrote this nice 25-part article series, published in the How2Power Today newsletter, starting with part 1 in the May 2021 issue and concluding with the final part in the April 2025 issue.

  16. Today's little #solar #horror #chainreaction story:

    1. A #toilet started running while we were away yesterday.
    2. As a result, our #waterpump ran continuously.
    3. The 1st #battery out of two batteries collapsed.
    4. The #inverter kept pulling current.
    5. The 2nd battery was hammered.
    6. This damaged the inverter's DC power stage and deep discharged and damaged at least one of the batteries.

    And I was already frustrated that the @loveyoumore #icecream machine is still broken.

    It will be good. 😇
