Sofar On-Grid Inverter firmware updates. Any luck?
Fruit Trader replied to MJCM's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
End user firmware updates always carry some risk. Local up dates are safest make sure the supply is not interrupted during the process. -

Copy the folder to the flash drive. -
Sofar On-Grid Inverter firmware updates. Any luck?
Fruit Trader replied to MJCM's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Because it is possible to lose the inverters ability to read updates if communication is lost at the right moment. This would then require a low level factory flash. -
Sofar On-Grid Inverter firmware updates. Any luck?
Fruit Trader replied to MJCM's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Using clean USB flash drive Unpack firmware file to USB drive Turn off inverter AC + DC Insert flash drive into inverter USB port Turn on DC wait for boot Follow menu update instruction in manual If any file error messages appear during update repeat the process If file errors persist contact Sofar tell them which file is giving error Note - If possible avoid remote online updates from Sofar -
Drain pipes for kitchen? Blue pipes? Clean water only?
Fruit Trader replied to OneMoreFarang's topic in DIY Forum
When cutting into blue pipe in Thailand always be prepared for the possibility idiots were there before you. -
Transam, you're just not getting it! Intelligent people buy EV's, us Luddite's are just too dumb to understand the benefits and have no right to an opinion. Strange because this comes from a small group where even the undeniable negatives trigger a state of confusion. There have been several comments about the intelligence of those who post anything negative about EV's. This Luddite would call that scraping the barrel. Enter anonymous confusion bottom right.......

Second hand car import / lift of ban
Fruit Trader replied to oustaristocrats's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
No, but because the poster was not specific a door is left open for a pedantic nit-picking troll. Good news is we can all amuse ourselves why said troll makes feeble attempts to justify it's posts. Stop feeding and they eventually go away. -
monitoring solar production/potential
Fruit Trader replied to gamb00ler's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
But better than saying it cant be done. I have done it using strings that are not even on the same plane. Very easy for those who have the ability to collect and manipulate data. I believe there are several on this forum. -

Both reference and production array face the same conditions. -

Fruit Trader replied to gamb00ler's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Potential output can be calcualted from a known reference. The result can be found using a lookup table or real time calculation. -
monitoring solar production/potential
Fruit Trader replied to gamb00ler's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Not difficult to create a reference and calculate potential capacity. With this continuously varying potential capacity how would you increase consumption to match? To make a prediction one would also need to know the sky conditions and make a calculated guess what the next time window is likely to deliver. -
A Norwegian post I believe, the owner is impressed with winter performance.

Am I the only one using (Indian) 'cook in sauces'?
Fruit Trader replied to BritManToo's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
The cook in sauces can produce very edible results in a short period of time, I have use the British made sauces a lot in the past. I once had the pleasure of visiting a UK curry district where I got spoilt and hooked on the batch style of Indian restaurant cooking and the flavours it creates. Real Indian home style cooking is quite easy but the final result might not please those who are used to the tastes created by restaurant methods. With some help from an old thaivisa member it has taken me some time achieve near BIR standard and the unique taste that comes from base gravy and spices cooked hard in a hot pan. Not everyone has the time or patience but cracking this cooking method can create very authentic restaurant dishes. It all starts with the master time saving shortcut, a base gravy which can be frozen and used when required. -
Sorry with all the excitement and little stories kicking around the thread I forgot to answer the first part. Apples from the market, a lucky day because we get 8 apples for the price of 5. We can of course say 3 apples were free but this is all about costing so lets cost our cooking session properly and not kid ourselves. 8 apples for 100B Apples 12.5 each Apple cost for pies 62.5 Apple cost for juice 37.5 And for those looking for a nice warm fuzzy feeling, the apple juice was free just like when some lucky guys charge EV's for free with surplus solar.

INVT on Grid inverter problem - restarting
Fruit Trader replied to eddysacc's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Thats a quite a common problem and not always easy to fix when the voltage values are locked and set to supply authority spec. I have a single phase inverter on a each phase and there were times when grid voltage was exceeded on one phase. I initially changed country code to fix the problem then later begged the manufactrurer for the parameter address list. Why does the inverter not adjust as it approaches limit is a good question. The inverter will be making adjustment up to a point but the final decision to fault will be down to time limits to get into the lower level set by country spec. -
INVT on Grid inverter problem - restarting
Fruit Trader replied to eddysacc's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
There is something very wrong if an inverter produces beyond demand to the point where it faults. If the max grid voltage parameter is being exceeded then that's another story which really should be looked at. Most inverters are certified with country code parameters which are sometimes too narrow for Thailand's grid. -
INVT on Grid inverter problem - restarting
Fruit Trader replied to eddysacc's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
The inverter has no idea that there is a potential 3500 watts not being consumed. It is only interested in the real time demand and any limits imposed by settings. A de-rated inverter will happily produce a tiny fraction of what the attached solar array is capable of. If healthy, the only real problem for an inverter is over/under voltages at either end of its process or excess temperature generated around the switching electronics. Note. I did not grab this information from the internet black hole, it comes from studying the disassembled code of several on grid solar inverters made by Chinese enthusiasts. -
I think you already know my argument is against those who choose to use the word free without being specific. If ROI is more complex than a simple price per unit calculation then it's important to explain how this will speed up payback. Best to keep it simple on forums where not everyone wants to get involved with costing methods.
