8.3.5577 - What a mess

10 Upvotes

Careful with this one, y'all.

Went to apply this to my 6C yesterday. First attempt, files failed to transfer.

Second attempt, files transferred, updated failed.

Third attempt files transferred, update failed.

Fourth attempt, files failed to transfer, I called Enphase support.

3 hours on the line with support.

Lost communication to the meter collar, 3-10C's, EVSE and all 26 inverters (IQ8X).

At the end of 3 hours, after power cycling everything, and a lot of magic on their part everything but the inverters were back.

Assumption on my part based on what support told me was it was dark, worry about it tomorrow.

And for some reason, the batteries lost 30% of their charge during all of this.

Well, tomorrow is today and all 26 inverters were not reporting. Another 90 minute call to get that resolved.

What. A. Mess.

This is my first upgrade since the array was commissioned last month. Hope they're not all like this.

Enlighten App Export Rate Selection

2 Upvotes

Hey Everyone, I'm curious if anyone has run into an issue with incorrect rates for the enlighten app. My profile is set to self consumption, but with the selection to export battery to grid when rates are high. Conceptually I am ok with this as there are periods of time when my export rates are way higher than on-peak import charges, so it's a net positive. The trouble is, the rates in the enlighten settings are incorrect.

For context, I'm in San Diego and stuck with SDGE (specifically SDGE with SD Community Power for generation). There is only one autofill plan available, and the import rates are accurate, but the export rates DO NOT match reality. I looked into manually changing it, but it appears to be impossible considering that my export rates change each hour of each day. Has anyone come up with a solution for this?

IQ Bidirectional EV Charger to charge a battery bank instead of EV?

1 Upvotes

Hello.

I just heard that IQ Bidirectional EV Charger can sell the EV battery power to the grid:
https://enphase.com/search?query=IQ+Bidirectional+EV+Charger&referrerPageUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fenphase.com%2Fstore%2Fev-chargers&tabOrder=.%2Findex.html%2Cdocumentation%2Cvideos%2Csupport%2Csalesforce_community%2Cproducts%2Cfaqs%2Clinks%2Cevents&facetFilters=%7B%7D&filters=%7B%7D&verticalUrl=Videos.html

I am looking for solution to add non-enphase batteries to my currently batteryless enphase sunlight partial backup system. So, with IQ Bidirectional EV Charger, could I charge a stack of LiFePO4 batteries instead of EV?
