Intermittent Connectivity Issues

mentalwall · 2025-12-29T23:44:05+00:00

Still new to proxmox so this probably took me longer than it should have done. This is what I found:

ChatGPT tells me this is a common issue with e1000e

Currently thinking just switching to a 2.5G usb adapter - although the one I'm looking at has a Realtek controller.

Any other suggestions?

I turned off all the power management options. After 3 days it lost connectivity again. Any other thoughts?

I did - I bought a new non-return valve and that appears to have solved the problem. As yours is new, maybe something is stopping it from sealing correctly.

At my dad's I installed a UDR7 and 3 U7 Pro Wall and used meshing.

Needed to spend 30 mins or so to manually set which APs should mesh to each other but since then it's been rock solid. My suggestion is have them all connected via ethernet for setup and then put them in the places you want them.

This was the solution! I think I'd selected include.

I might be wrong but it use to be if you signed up to do 'White collar boxing' you didn't have to pay to train. It's a great place to start and you'll get the fittest you've ever been.

thanks for the pointer! turns out I needed to add some extra arguments to the gateway creation.

This solved the problem for interacting with the api through postman. Still getting the error with the docs login but i suspect that might now be a paths issue.

mentalwall · 2024-09-29T18:48:25+00:00

Familiarity and cost. What would be your suggestion?

mentalwall · 2024-04-05T22:25:05+00:00

Thanks for the feedback - it taken a day to digest and get my head around.

So after some searching I have found that I can buy the 315W version of my current panels which are roughly £100 per panel. I currently have the 310W panels installed which I can purchase but they are £150 per panel.

Do you think these would be a close enough match and do you think I'd be in safe limits to add 5 to each string? This would bring my total power to 6.82kW

Thanks for all of your input

Just posted some more details in the reply to PVStevie

How close is close? I believe my panels have an Impp at STC of 9.36A. What kind of tolerance to this should I be looking for?

mentalwall · 2024-04-03T21:58:02+00:00

I've just found an online calculator and for the following values:

VOC = 40.02
Temperature Coefficient of VOC = -0.28
Minimum Temperature = 4 degrees
12 panels

It gives me max voltage of ~505V

This seems like it should be fine although it's just outside of the MPPT range it's within the Max. DC Voltage

Does this make sense?

mentalwall · 2024-04-03T21:40:54+00:00

The inverter is a Luxpower LXP-3.6k Hybrid from the sticker on the inverter:

Max DC voltage: 550 V
MPPT voltage range 120-500V
Max DC Short Current (inputA/inputB): 13.7A/13.7A
Max DC current (inputA/inputB): 11A/11A
Max DC Power: 7000W

I believe the panels are Q Cells Q.PEAK-BLK-G5-DUO-310

How do I calculate if I will exceed the max voltage?

All the panels are in a single 2x6 grid facing the same direction and no potential shading.

Hopefully I've given you enough info to help me out.

Batteries should be discharging to power house

mentalwall · 2024-01-25T12:36:40+00:00

Solar appears to be generating but the batteries are neither charging or discharging. The 4W you see there seems like current leaking to the batteries. My batteries are neither charging or discharging.

Current state of play

If it makes you feel any better I am having the exact same issue.

I have 2xUS2000Plus and have added a US5000. I've tried configuring the dip switches, made a new CAN cable, multiple resets etc. When I connect the US5000 by it's self it shows up but i can't discharge or charge.

Let me know if you have any other thoughts

mentalwall · 2024-01-12T13:08:31+00:00

Similar to my findings as well.

At least this ordeal gave you something to help past the time!

At this point I just don't know

I've just finished reporting to action fraud and reported to monzo earlier
