  1. It is quite the opposite, no way Thai authorities would oppose an extradition when requested by China.
  2. It is the simplest way to know how much excess energy you have which then can be diverted, their eddi for controlled making of hot water works in the same way. Home Assistant knows how much excess energy you have but there is no way to communicate that to zappi or eddi that I know of.
  3. It is a Deye and I did previously have grid charging enabled for Time 1 but that was when we had lots of grid cuts. That to make sure that I started midnight with not less than 28% SOC which would take me through the night without power cuts. The screenshot is from the Solarman remote monitoring and configuration program.
  4. Yes. Continue a bit further down is section 5.7 to "Time of use". Time of use when activated controls charging/discharging when grid power is present. The setting takes precedence over the battery setting in section 5.6. I have the battery setting in 5.6 at 10% deepest discharge but at 20% between 4 am to 8 am in time of use. If battery goes down to 20% when grid is active then grid will take over, if grid is inactive then I have another 10% until the inverter stops producing from battery. You can also charge the battery from the grid at a certain time based on the SOC setting in Time of use.
  5. It is possible, the EPS output from a Deye inverter can supply your whole house if you want, not only the essential consumers. It can supply up to the limit of the inverter (in your case 10KW) from PV and/or battery and if you don't have enough power from PV and or battery then it will take the missing part from the grid through Deye's grid connector (grid-assist). You will not even need a CT if you run everything on the EPS output, there is a setting for it: "Zero Export To Load: Hybrid inverter will only provide power to the backup load connected. The hybrid inverter will neither provide power to the home load nor sell power to grid. The built-in CT will detect power flowing back to the grid and will reduce the power of the inverter only to supply the local load and charge the battery."
  6. It is correct that you will need a CT to protect from export into the grid through the AVR which most likely won't like power flowing through it in opposite direction to which it normally operates. Most inverters do have a UPS/EPS output for emergency light and equipment and that is the only active output from battery and PV when grid is not present. The inverters grid connection follows the frequency and voltage of the grid and will become inactive (island mode) when grid isn't present. What brand of inverter did Thai Solar System quote to you? In general I'd say by looking at the picture that this is a very "el cheapo" Thai system. A PV combiner box combines 2 or more strings and contains fuses, breakers, and over voltage protection, that is the upper part of the box in your picture. I would never mix DC (PV or Batt) and AC (grid) in the same box! If the installer has to put everything in one box in order to keep the price down or his profit up then I would go somewhere else. Using lead-acid batteries is also a sign of made in Thailand for Thais..
  7. Not generally but one of the inverters they package together with their batteries is a Deye rebrand, the others are not. LVTopSun's main product is ESS for solar.
  8. It was more like Trump: I'm hungry, mouth is open. Hand over your beef and stay out of my hose.
  9. Calculated using your Faber-Castell slide ruler for engineers..? 😄
  10. It is not a problem as long as there is grid power, the Deye inverter will take the additionally needed power from the grid. The inverter rating is what the inverter can produce from pv and/or battery. Yes but please open a new thread for it so we can discuss it there to the benefit of other readers who also can contribute with their knowledge.
  11. Yes so in my case it might be enough to rewire so that there is no other consumers on the hot water heater phase, the heaters rating is actually right on the same spot as the inverters max short time rating for a single phase. As I said it is not a huge nuisance and I'm a bit lazy.. Yes, I'm very satisfied with it and I checked out many other inverters by downloading their users manuals before choosing Deye.
  12. It is about tripping if a load is higher than inverter output rating on a single phase and the PEA grid is down. It is not a huge nuisance but it has happened a few times during the last year that the bathroom lamp has switched off when using hot water and then I instantly know that the grid is down. Only thing to do then is to turn off hot water, wait for inverter to reset and continue with a cold shower.. 😉
  13. I have a 12KW 3-hase Deye and sometimes regret that I didn't have the space for 3x10KW single phase inverter. 3 single phase inverters do require 3 separate battery strings and 3 separate pv strings though and that is not possible for me to have.
  14. Isn't the space program our only way to get rid of the billionaires?
