I don't get it.

Why does the solar vault 3 act like this?

This is full sun, no clouds, no shadow. But the solar vault is not getting the 1600/1800w from solar panels.

Instead it's charging slowly.

If I start something power hungry in the house, the battery start discharging and the suddenly I see the power from solar panel jumping

So the solar vault is limiting itself ! Why? This seems stupid, it's € lost in space.

You can see in the pictures attached this behavior. Absolutely no shadow or clouds today

I thought it was because of the ai thing. But even without ai it act like this.

Solar vault temp is 41° so it's not overheating I think (no warning at all)

Hi i bought a SolarVault 3 + 2 extra batteries (7.5 kWh total).

installed it outside, protected from the rain. added an extra protection against rain on top of it (it should never get direct rain, but some splashs from the roof, so this protect it completly)

i got an alarm today on the app (no notification, just a message in the app) saying overheat. the battery was still delivery power and charging from solar panels.

SolarVault was at 47°c (116°f), outside temp was 33°c (91°f) Touching it, the main unit was hot, but the 2 batteries were not so hot. after checking it seems that a litle sun come directly to the unit, for 1hour i think. it does not illuminate the complete unit, but a triangle, like in the picture attached, that goes from left to right.

• what is the maximum temperature supported from the unit? the manual say "from -20 to +55°c" but it's outside temperature, not internal temp.

• what is the alarm thershold ?

• should i be worried if the unit go to more than 45° (113°c) for 2 or 3 hours during the day ?

i'll try to add something to prevent direct sunlight but i'm not sure it will be perfect.
