@Adam hi what did you do so far?

Hi Trevor,  Did you go through the quick start guide when you setup and select the Li-bms-ext setting on the Sunny Islands? Also have you adjusted the parameters on the BMS to match to the SM...

The sun island capability for grid feeding is very limited. The system has to be setup as a battery backup ups rather than an off grid system.   Rick is correct re firmware causing issue...

You may want to consider adding one of these to allow your DD alt. help charge and top off/balance your pack while on the road :) https://ogm-energy.com/products/orion-xs

I will charge only with the magnum inverter charger when plugged in or with the 20kw genny running.    I have a 350amp 50dn alternator on the Detroit series 60 but will keep it out of ch...

We have quite a few customers with SMA grid tied systems so hoping they might be able to help here. One issue that came up recently was some firmware bugs in the SMA where it has problems communic...

Good catch Ben!  

yes, a 12P4S should work well for you.  Connecting the 12 cells in parallel is now commonplace, so long as you are working with fairly closely matched cells.  I think you will notice a go...

@Christopher I put your settings in a calculation sheet with the formulas from the manual. Result in: Bulk charge max 14.18V Float 13.08V Restart charging, if below 13.04.   If you volta...

We dont see you as a customer so I can't see what tool you are using for configuration but we are happy to help none the less. Not sure what the support comment was all about... The wifi module ha...

@Al Thomason ; Do you have any idea why I can´t get this to work as intended?
