Keith from #Sunsynk, how Sunsynk inverters function and their advantages compared to other inverters
• The presenter, Keith from #Sunsynk, presents how Sunsynk inverters function and their advantages compared to other inverters.
• #Sunsynk inverters use IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) technology, which is superior to the MOSFET technology used in budget inverters.
• #Sunsynk inverters are bidirectional, allowing them to charge and discharge batteries simultaneously. This improves efficiency compared to systems with separate chargers and inverters.
• The inverter has a standard AC bus that connects the grid, generator, and loads. It uses a CT coil to control power export to the grid.
• The inverter can operate in different modes, such as discharging the battery to power essential loads or charging the battery from the grid.
• The inverter can also power a smart load, such as a water heater, diverting surplus solar power to charge the batteries.
• Proper wiring and configuration of the inverter, batteries, and earthing/neutral connections are crucial to avoid issues like RCD tripping.
• The fault codes displayed by the inverter are diagnostic tools that help identify system issues, such as problems with solar panels, batteries, or the inverter itself.
• The presenter provides a detailed overview of standard fault codes and their potential causes.
• Proper commissioning procedures are outlined, emphasising the importance of a step-by-step approach to ensure the system is set the system is set up correctly and functioning properly.
