It was here on this forum or from another form. Some had a warrant issue and they declined it because he/she had just one battery and not 3.
-
No, 4 is in spec. They say you need a bank of 3 minimum.
-
Its usable power is also much less than the BLS, The Hubble and BLS are the best value for money. Pylons if you don't mind spending more money. Freedom Won is also good value but a little more expensive.
-
I hear this also from people.
-
So true. I read Pylon only honor warranty when they stacked in 3s also which is a concern.
-
100% I looked at Pylon yesterday; I could get 2 of the 2.84kwh for about the same money as the BLS but they still do less power at that money so return for me is much lower at a difference of 0.368kwh at 80% DOD
-
BLS has been around for a long time. 8-10 years is enough for me.

Hi All I think its best for my install to mount to my IBR carports, I am keen to have them tilted at 31' just of North to North East at -179' These are the numbers I got from a website give my location. Question, anyone know the best way to make these mounts? There is nothing really of the shelf I have found for this.
-
Thanks. Will look into this more today.
-
They work out more when you start to add them up.
-
Thanks @Speedster This clears that up very well for me. So for backup power/night use this is still great. I assume as you stack more battery’s this will go up also? Parallel I guess would archive this. The Huble will give more instant power but the BLS will last longer so many pros and cons.
-
Thanks, I have read the specs again and then comparing it to the Humble AM2 which claims 100A max and state DOD of 100% I assume they then cover warranty at that level. Please correct me if I am wrong here, 0.7C means the suggested output is lower? i.e 6.12kwh over 0.7C makes it +-4.5kwh ? Then we can run only 80% of this 4.5kwh which is 3.6kwh ? The Humble at 1C at 80% DOD is around 4.4kwh.
-
Hi Some places I read say this is a 0.5C and some say 1.0C. I am failing to also find the cycle specs at different SOC's. Can anyone help with this? Also, is this battery fully compatible with SunSynk? Does not show on their website as a supported battery.
-
Ah noted. Thanks
-
I see people like Suntree and another Z brand for this; any special reason why?
-
Thanks for this. What rating for the fuses? This should cost +-R2000 depending on the box price.
-
Also seems cheap; might change to this for the Solar side and keep the other for the Generator.
-
So an update to my original post. I have learnt that space/roof space has a cost in addition to the mounting systems needed the limitations of the space you have in the direction you need can be challenging. For this reason I have opted for the JA 540w panels. Given the slight price difference I could use 8 of these to archive what 12/10 325-390w panels could. Now the challenge about mounting and picking the right direction to use given my location. Will try for some drone photos of the roof so that optimal locations are selected.

Big shout out to @Vassen for the advise he has also been giving me on the design.
-
Guess so. I am not a big fan of ACDC items but they do the job and I have a change over switch form them. GLWS.

Hi All I would like to thank everyone for making this Forum possible. It has assisted me in understanding the dynamics of the evolving Solar world and highlighted the Do's and Don't s for me. Also thanks for @leshen who made time to come out and see my possible install and quoted me for said install. After all my research I have decided to go with the following: SunSynk 8.8kw with WiFi Dongle (The 5.5kw would work but I do not want to be in a position were I would regret not spending the little extra now) BLS 6.12kw Battery (Budget only allows for a single battery now with the plans to add the next one by year end) 12X Mono Panels (For now I will start on 12 then add every couple of months to this when possible to the ideal 18 I would need) No brand confirmed yet. The other standard hardware. Can someone please explain why people opt for ready built items like the PV Protection Box and Earth Neutral Bridge VS building this yourself of having the electrician do it? It is cheaper to self assemble this from what I have worked out. I read of a BLS 6.12KW and 6.4KW; is this the same battery or different? I plan to run the AUX load for my non essential and feed it PV and Battery at different times.
