Sofar Solar Inverter: How to Enter PL Country Code - Manual (12) & Inverter (3 Stars)

Hello everyone.
How to enter the country code for PL? In the manual I have 12, and in inverters 3 stars
Please give me a hint.

Since there is room for 3 characters, maybe 012, because 12 is for PL.

It may be like that, but I don't know what will happen if it won't be this code.

From what I've read, Sofars have a location block, so you choose once not to resell it abroad, it's better not to make a mistake because they are blocked, there were probably such cases on the forum.

From the operating manual, quoted

"6. Turning on the country
Enable this option before setting the country. "

First you need to activate the "Enabling the country" option, then go to entering the code, maybe just enter 12 and confirm, the instruction says, the code for PL is 12, what can you do wrong there?

Enter 012, I also had 3 stars, the country code is Poland, go ahead and enter 012

The only thing is that if I enter 012 it will be ok because the 12 itself does not pass because there are *** stars, but I think, as you wrote above, since three fields are nothing else than 0 you need to enter. I would just prefer to be sure.

Oki, just to be 100% sure, I missed such a confirmation, thank you very much.

Of course, it is only the menu lock and you activate it at any time with the code 0001, it does not lock completely.

Go ahead and enter 012, this is the Polish country code.

Ok thank you very much for your help and best regards.

It works. As described above.

Hi, someone had the country code in the new sofar 20000 G3 inverter? because you can't do it there and somehow I can't do it properly either. Maybe someone has delved into the topic and will suggest a little?

According to the operating instructions, you press the "?" button and hold. You will be able to access the menu. Select "1. Enter settings" -> "4. Country code" and enter the country code. By long pressing the button you save the code.

Hello.
I also have this problem, you can enter the settings by entering the code 0001 and when I want to choose the country code, the code 0001 is not successful. So the country selection access code is probably different. I am asking for a hint in this topic.
Regards

Hello, did you solve the problem?

Hello, did you solve the problem.?

in G3 you cannot change the country code yourself, you need to contact the sofara service, but they will only allow you to change to Polish if it is set to other than Polish; d

In the G3 series inverters above 12kW, the country code is not entered, but it is loaded from the fully inserted WiFi module. There should be a SAFETY directory on the top, with the country data file in it. I have rehearsed the topic and it works for me

Despite the correct code entry and the possibility of changing the country, setting France as the country is still GridOVP. Even though France has a security budget of 264V. Isn't the change of settings only apparent? I have SOFAR 4.4KTL-X.

First of all, you report a problem with micro-installation in the appropriate application to the ZE, secondly, there should be severe penalties for changing the country code to another, thirdly, what voltage you have on the inverter, because the setting itself does not give anything if you have above 264 ... fourth for high voltage harms the equipment in your home and your neighbors

You reported it, try it on you, secondly, they will make you change to other voltage values so that you do not bother with what you should do. Fourth, why should I be responsible for the narrow-gauge network because no modernization has been carried out? Umnie 40 years nothing has been done, they ignore? Are you jumping right one way?

I have reported rpv many times for customer installations and where the voltage is from the cap, they improve, in most cases the problem is on the customer's side, thin wlz, thin power cables and thus high IPZ, no self-consumption. The transmission lines are old, it is a fact, but in 80% of the cases the problem lies with the recipient. And it will never bother you to change your settings to standards other than Polish! You have to have QU set

But I have no problem with the installation, only the problem lies with the networks that are not adapted to receive. I sent many writings with my neighbors. Please - don't judge me - I asked a different type of question. As for the equipment - it's just a bluff. Do you think they produce different TV for France and another for us? No - and the voltage limits are different.

Thanks a lot for your understanding :)

The installations were made by a friend and I have the parameters of individual cables with reserve for expansion. The connection is in the meter box. We verified the measurements and unfortunately the problem is on the network side. At night I have 245V voltage. So you understand many neighbors from PV. Some of the neighbors increased the limit and nothing bad happens - only those who have not raised them lose. The tension didn't rise at all. I have interruptions in the same way as before, when the neighbors did not raise the limits. Maybe 10% trace. But on a sunny day, from 12.00 to 16.00, the production is virtually silent. Self-consumption is farting. After all, our main goal is to produce for winter periods and not to pay in the annual balance sheet. Working from home if you are not a carpenter or a welder does not cause such great self-consumption. The energy warehouse is a solution, but let's face it - it is an installation that does not make much sense at the moment. The rate of return is practically non-existent. A virtual warehouse that takes 20% of the production is much better - if someone managed to do it on time, of course.

Hello, what steps should be taken when starting the Sofar KTLX 8.8 G3 inverter for the first time
- set the hour
- enter the country code 012
And that's it or something else needs to be set for the inverter to turn on and work.

Well, you definitely need to read the manual, and the country code on inverters from Poland is set to 12 and you can't change it

Download the file for your device from the manufacturer's website
There are two instructions there:
1. Firmware update
2. country code

In the case of the country code, leave only the one that interests you

Does the 022 code in G3 work for someone or is it a pic for water?

I received from a sofar from China an instruction on how to "play" with the settings. It seems that in the case of 3G you should connect using the application and Bluetooth and it should work.
There is a QR Code in the manual to download the SOFAR app

It works and you can change whatever you want

Are you writing about the solar view app? And does messing with these parameters void the warranty or something on this topic? Do you have any experience in this topic because I am just discovering new possibilities

>>20554731
Could you please give more instructions on how to do it step by step? Thanks

Hello.
I have a problem with the voltage for several days and it happens that the inverter resets 10 times a day.
I would like to change the country code to such that the problem would go away.
What is the code of Germany? Or another country with a higher voltage than in Poland?
thanks for the help in advance
