off grid monitoring

@jared Probably a silly question but what is a Station?

@charlesduckworth A station refers to an inverter or a group of paralleled inverters that report to the monitoring system. In the image below, the station comprising an 18kPV and Wallmount battery is set up and reporting under "training wall." From here, any authorized distributor, installer, or end-user can link the station to their account and monitor it.

I was able to test out the local connect as described by various folks previously.

The local connect is a little limited as to what you can see vs the website but is still very good for local monitoring.

I was only able to test it with the TCP connection and not the BT connection, but I am sure it is pretty much the same.  TCP will give you better range than BT.

Thanks,

Joel,

Thank you for the reply and testing.

@jared Thank You!  Up running and monitoring!  Loving it!  Just one question!

Watching the screen on my 12kPV, the solar builds up in the morning sun and charges my two batteries while running my load subpanel!  When I do not have enough solar, The Grid charges my batteries at off peak rates, unless really low and then charges minimum at high rates.  Monitor shows it all! Beautiful!

So my question is my screen showing correctly?  The line to the EPS is the question.  Is that the same as my LOAD?  The numbers match what I am using via the Load panel.  I guess I thought the power coming into the Load panel would route to the house Icon.  Maybe I do not have the CT's installed at the correct location? 

So at the house main panel, I just have a 50 amp breaker wired to the 12kPV Grid port.  NO Export back to Grid I hope!

Take a look at the Monitering guide here:

EG4-Monitor-Center-Overview.pdf

If I understand it correctly the "house" goes active when the inverter is in bypass mode (Grid [or gen I think] supplying loads).

Otherwise, it is monitoring the EPS which is what the inverter is supplying to the load circuits (whether through battery and/or solar).

That is my understand and I could be completely wrong about that.  🙂

@joel-brodeur Thank you!  I had missed that document!  I have some reading to do!  So far I am very impressed with the entire Solar Kit!

@charlesduckworth Glad to hear! Feel free to let me know if you have any questions over the document.
