    I've been looking at the Infini Super for a long time but the first ones available in SA was quit expensive at about R35 000. The price is now almost half of that which makes it excellent value for money. It is definitely my first choice when I upgrade. Another plus point is that you can parallel up to 6 units. So now you can have a 8 kw full hybrid inverter with 10 kw of PV input capability for less than 40 grant - beat that.

    Hi Chris, I think I am going to come and spy on your farm to see how you store your enengy these days. You've got me all curios now.

    Nee, ek het vroeer in die jaar 'n baie goeie prys op 170 W Eging Monochrystaline panele gekry en toe sommer 6 kw se panele gekoop. Die statium loop het twee stringe van 11 panele - 1870 W per string. Die son staan vandag stil in die Karoo en toe ek netnou gaan kyk het, het die panele 3230 W geproduseer. Die panele is so bietjie vuil en moet nog gewas word.

    Dis hoe dit nou lyk

    Ek het vanaand myne aan die brand geslinger. Sy rook het darem nie uitgekom nie. My installasie is nog nie klaar nie, ek moet nog twee van die drie PV stringe koppel, maar more behoort ek my eerste son energie op te wek. Die inverter is eintlik maar net 'n toetslopie. Ek beplan om net die boorgatpomp en 2 aircons op hom te koppel. Die drie items behoort hom heeldag besig te hou. Volgende jaar beplan ek om 'n groter inverter met 'n battery bank vir die huis te installeer.

    I also got my Vision inverter today. Johann you must make sure to upload enough pics because this is going to be my first solar installation and I can do with any help I can get.

    It seems to me the Ingecon is more designed for your newer battery technologies like the lithium ion and Aquion batteries. Most of these are 48 V units, so you need only a few in series to get over 96 V.

    It's quite a while now that I look at the Ingecon Sun Storage 1 play 6kw as a hybrid inverter option. It does however have one or two drawbacks. You need to have a 96 V battery bank and the inveter cannot run without batteries like the Infini's. It also have only one MPPT compared to the two of most 5 kw inverters. I would also like to hear from someone who has got experience with the product. Where did you get your price from Hein?

    The spec sheet of the Vision matches that of the Infini 3 kw Plus almost perfectly. If it is reliable it will centainly give most members of Powerforum a new vision. Pitty it can not be paralleled.

    Hi Chris 

    Will it be possible to move tomorrow's meeting to 16:00 the afternoon. Something came up that I have to attend to tomorrow morning. If it is inconvenient we can make it another time. 

    Regards

      Perfect - you know how to get to Roodeberg?

      I've been to Koos de Wet a few time and saw your entrance.

    Hi Chris

    Hope you are well. I am slowly going forward with my planned solar system and really would like to come and visit you to look at your setup. Will you be available in the next week or so? Let know whenever will be convenient.

    Regards

    Seams to me the Infini V range is only an Axpert that can back-feed into the grid like a normal hybrid or grid-tie inverter. Has anyone got experience with the INGECON SUN STORAGE 1Play 6 kw Hybrid inverter from Ingeteam? It is made in Spain and seems to be more powerful than the Infini 5 kw with a lower price tag. They seem to be available in South Africa

    Except for the Powerstar's price tag (R60 000 +), I am confused by the spec sheet. Has it got a built in charge controller? I don't see any MPPT Voltage range. I also see it is transformer based. Is that good or bad?
  25. Groenkaroo
    Thanks Mike for you informative reply. Feed through is properly not the right term. What I mean is that as I understand it, you can combine the PV input and the power from the grid with the Imeon to run a load of up to 6 kw while the inverter's output is only 3 kw. I understand you can do the same with the infini inverters but what about the Goodwe? Do you know if the knew Infini super 4 kw is available in SA? I like the fact that you can parallel it.
