Exceptional Customer Experience from DMerciful I would like to share my experience with one of the cabals we have here Dmerciful. I bought an Epever 4210A MPPT controller from him early last year and it stopped working barely 2 weeks after installation. I had to replace it with a Fangpusun controller due to the sensitivity of the project and kept the controller with the hope of fixing it. Fast forward to some months back when i read on this forum that he helped someone repaired his controller, i chatted him and he asked me to send it down. He tried to get as much information how the controller behaved before it stopped working and promised to get intouch with his supplier. In less than 2 weeks, he chatted me i would hopefully get a replacement because the controller seems to be defective out of the box. Barely 3 weeks later, he chatted me he has received the new controller and sent it down to me..... Whao!!! To shock you all, I never for once called him via phone. All these interactions were done via whatsapp chat. Dmerciful, may God's blessings never seize in your household. It was a 'whaoo' experience for me and am highly grateful. Thank you. 13 Likes |

rajo4real:DMerciful is indeed a rare gem. He is indeed a solution to our generation as far as Renewable energy is concerned. Thanks to him, he saved me from giving up on renewable by fixing my mppt cc within 24 hours. Whenever I set my eyes on my cc I always ask God to keep blessing Dmerciful for me. 3 Likes |

remizvxcq:all your problems will be solved once bmv is connected to ccgx after connecting the BMV 1. set the BMV is the monitor in CCGX - See image --submenu settings - system setup 2. Switch on also has DC system - submenu settings system setup That way the CCGX used the current from battery and Multi to calculate current taken by loads. Beware though since you are using flexmax the BMV will not report all current produced during day as some of it will be consumed by multi and load. if you want close monitoring you will have to change CC to Smart/blue solar from victron 2 Likes

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by remizvxcq(m): 1:07pm On Sep 17, 2018 |
pranil: pranil, thanks Presumably, the cable needed should be ve-direct port of CCGX to ve-direct port of the BMV part ASS030530310 https://www.victronenergy.com/cables/ve.direct.cable gbp21.47 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Victron-Energy-VE-Direct-cable-10m/dp/B01F9ESJVI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1537184625&sr=8-2&keywords=victron+ve.direct+cable+10m Can anyone share the pin sequence for the ve-direct cable because I would like to try to hack a 4-pin audio cable that I got from an old PC? |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Saipro(m): 1:21pm On Sep 17, 2018 |
remizvxcq:It's more than just a matter of cable pin assignments. It's a serial to USB translation at specific baud rate so you'll need extra hardware for that. I'm about to make my own cable so I could give you feedback when successful (or not). |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by remizvxcq(m): 2:42pm On Sep 17, 2018 |
Saipro: Indeed, a direct connection using the 4-pin audio cable did not do the job. Kindly share your learning as you go. I might just order a bunch of ve-direct to usb cables, and then connect the CCGX, BMV and other devices together to a powered usb hub. bigrovar: my search of the archives indicates that you were trying to diy a ve-direct to usb cable back in June. Can you share your learning, please There are some hacks involving ve-direct cables shared online. This one replaces the ve.direct RS232/Serial-to-USB cable http://beta.ivc.no/wiki/index.php/Victron_VE_Direct_DIY_Cable A youtube video with incoherent explanation of a ve-direct diy can be found https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkZpI_BRmB4 Another incoherent ve-direct to bluetooth hack, with code can be found https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkZpI_BRmB4 |

A 2014 hack that ports old model BMV600 series to a raspberry pi https://fab13n.github.io/elorn/software/2014/05/11/raspi-1.html Victron would do well to point out very clearly on their BMV product pages, the need to purchase a Ve.Direct cable! Or just ship one inside the box of every BMV sold. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by pranil(m): 10:19am On Sep 18, 2018 |
remizvxcq:the cable is correct but you cannot hack it unless you have the connectors which are proprietary . it is not that expensive compared to bom involved and you can easily get it locally from komponenets in rack 9 lagos) - google is your friend. ): |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by pranil(m): 10:26am On Sep 18, 2018 |
remizvxcq: ve direct is useless unless you have ccgx or venus . - you can operate the cc with built in display, bluetooth dongle ( cable is bundled with it), vedirect to usb and pc (cable is included) or use default settings with the rotary switch normally people buy their cables based on the length from venus /ccgx ( 0.5 meter to 10 meter availabe) and purchase all the cables at the same time https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VICTRON-ENERGY-SPECIALITY-INTERFACE-CABLES-FREE-EU-Delivery/302321780267?hash=item4663c8462b:m:mg2X9hsTSFG7QrUlI3y6LeQ&var=601157911383 **** use the drop down to select various cables***** |

The system if finally online After waiting for the Y inverter board to be replaced due to different firmware and my vacation the system went live on Saturday . Everything seems to be running fine. small tweaking is still going on The main components 3 x 5 KVA Victron Quatrro 6 KVA fronius symo 250 /70 CC Victron Smart Solar 150/70 CC Victron Blue solar Venus GX BYD PRo 10 KWh 48 V Zeihl 1001E islanding relay Carlo Gavazzi 3 phase energy meter ( modbus) Victron Lynx 1000 Amp busbar Various panels making up 2926 Wp ( Solar world) , 3400 Wp ( Canadian Solar) , 2440 ( yahsun) 20 KVA caterpillar Generator The system is running ESS ( grid parallel) with 350 watt import allowed no export allowed. That way all teh solatr produced is consumed by teh loads even if NEpa is present. In absence of NEPA the Generator autostarts/ Stops if the battery is below 60 % ( during day) or below 80 % ( during night) ESS in action - youtube link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hb5A0IgOV5w 5 Likes

Please house I need your views/opinion on this issue below. If you wanted an Axpert 3kva inverter and a dealer had sent you pictures and agreed on the price and you sent the dealer the agreed funds awaiting delivery. Dealer then confirmed that inverter had been sent. Fine no problem only at the point of collection the inverter you discover that the dealer sent you MustPower 3kva inverter without informing you. Please how would you handle this? How would you feel? I kindly need your candid thoughts on the above scenario. |

DUNKA: if it was an honest mistake in shipping /transport and dealer is ready to replace it ASAP I think no hard feelings on either side but if it was done on purpose I think you should bring it to light on this forum and take the appropriate action 5 Likes |

Just be sure not to connect the positive feed. I used just the ground tx and rx and what works just fine. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bigrovar(m): 7:49pm On Sep 18, 2018 |
DUNKA: Easy, you send the product back. Voltronic the oem of axpert released a notice warning people of must power calling them out as a fake and imitation of their product. My advise is to jelly return the goods and seek refund. Such a dealer can't be trusted. Don't be duped. I wonder why you even brought this up. This is clear as day. 3 Likes |

Barezzi: not frequently may be once in 3 days . since nepa has been good 9 part of the reason i chose ess and fronius ) otherwise the solar just idles away during day when nepa is there but then again apart from the washing machine and weekend ac use the house sees hardly 500 watt - 1000 watt as all machines are energy efficient ( Led bulbd, automatci ac , lights fridge control etc) |

tivta: for a house - my own cost is around 7 million but built around 5 years and one Quattro is on loan from office five years back I decided to buy solar panels and components for my wife and my bday every year instead of any other gifts and the final result is the system. Only thing i will add over time is additional storage to completely eliminate the gen use 4 Likes |

But if otherwise, on purpose, pls and pls, kindly let the house know who that person is(and he/she will bear the extra TP). Let me wait before I say more, am not happy at all, I know how our people can be. 6 Likes |

Oshomo12:Thank you all for those that commented.Issued resolved offline so no need to call out the person for now but going forward transactions will be done at arms lengths . Changing a product without informing a customer does not speak well of ones integrity and is a no no in business no matter how well intentioned it is. Communication is key just a message was what I least expected and not be subjected to a purchase ambush. |
