16kW Sunsynk has 3 x MPPT's and how can we add in Micro Inverter

[starrateit]

Hi,

Any chance we could get an updated card which includes 3 x MPPT's? Then can we use the Aux for power coming in from a Micro Inverter?

Thanks Spencer

Hi. This will require some work to move svg elements around to make space. If there's enough demand for this it can be done.

[starrateit]

Thank you, the same issue will exist with the larger 3 phase units they have 4 MPPT’s. So ideally design to encompass all versions, the inclusion of all 4 will be best and use case will increase!

Thanks, Spencer

I have an idea on how we can add up to 4. :)

[starrateit]

Excellent, currently the max MPPT’s on the sunsynks is 4!

Out of interest I see I have my Aux supply working which is a micro inverter with a 3kW grid tied inverter feeding in, see below but I am not sure if it is registering the power the wrong way? Do I need to make a template to make a sensor where it flips it to a negative number? Or is this right? [Image.jpeg]

You will see I only have my PV1 and 2 at the moment so my PV is a little skewed.

Thanks for your help !!!

I still cant see the image. You'll need to upload form the GitHub site

[starrateit]

Sorry there we go

[slipx06]

Ok so that is 307 Watt input on the aux port. I'll check the logic. Dot should be moving from right to left

[starrateit]

It is moving left to right currently. I would have thought the other way but remember the power is actually coming in from a Microinverter supplying power to the Inverters common bus bars. Just remember there is some hidden PV power coming in there which you can't see on PV3, so the numbers might be short by around 700W I think it was at the time.

[starrateit]

So the total for example should be this. if you want to do the maths and check everything

[starrateit]

Here are the directions... I think Aux should be the other way based on the way the PV DC Solar is flowing

[starrateit]

This gives you all the PV info including the Aux in the Entity tile on the bottom right

[slipx06]

The thing is you can use the aux port feed power to another load or receive as you have i.e generator or micro-invetrer. I need to create a config option to cater for this. In the mean time you can create a template sensor to assign a negative value to input power to correct the flow.

sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      aux_inverted:
    friendly_name: "Aux Input Power Inverted"
        value_template: "{{ -1 * states('sensor.ss_aux_power') | float }}"
        unit_of_measurement: 'W' 

Thanks for the valuable feedback

[starrateit]

Ok cool yeah that was what I was thinking, will do. I can also try and work around the MPPT’s for now by grouping. Not ideal as I can’t then see a problematic MPPT but will use it is a temp fix which should work. Thanks for the help and your cool card. 😊

`sensor:

I've just pushed a new release. v1.3.0 with this. There is also the option to invert AUX

[starrateit]

Excellent I will give it a try!

Looking good, thanks for adding the option to remove the Non-essentials! Just a small bug seems to have come in where the flow direction has stopped working on the Grid and on the Aux. Or do I need to reload?

[slipx06]

I'll fix that. I know what the issue is

[slipx06]

Just pushed and update. Should be fixed in v1.3.2. Note that the AUX value of the card will not show a negative number. The flow animation is used to indicate input or output. You just have to make sure that your sensor records a negative number for input and positive for output

[starrateit]

Cool thanks.

Ok will do a template for it and let you know all is sorted.

There is an option in the card to invert this for you. No need for a template now. Just set it to yes
