  1. 1. depends on budget. personal rec: Sunsynk 5 or 8kw - bens: programmable, true hybrid. Work out your budget and demands. 2. again - depends on specific location. watch the sun a few mornings. there are also apps available - optimal tilt for e.g. that you can place on the roof angle of each to help make a call. garage roof - easily accessible but make sure not easily accessible to be stolen! but could be better in that no one knows you have solar.
  2. Thanks YTM. Sorted on the CT coil. I don’t have the dongle yet so will hang 5 for an upgrade while I wait for mine. Appreciate the response.
  3. Hi all, Recently installed Sunsynk (5 weeks running OK and impressed with the machine). It threw out the following codes this morning - have checked forums and manuals - wondering if anyone has seen them before. I suspect bad grid power has something to do it - will see how it runs tonight again. Sunsynk 5Kw 2 x Pylontech US3000C 10 x JA 455s (Used in area with Prepaid meter) Hoping someone can help with: 1. Anyone seen any of the codes before? Particularly F03. Also why F13 is continuously coming up every 2/3mins before the DC Low came up. It might be linked to this - but what would prevent the inverter from switching to grid when the batteries reach the specified time of use SOC - e.g. 35% below? Bad grid being filtered by the inverter settings? 2. CT coil - have watched the videos - I have the old software. The software has a “HM” signal to show wattage and this is reflecting a negative wattage - which I take to mean they installed it the wrong way? I know it clearly says CT on the new software - just confirming my assumption that this used to be “HM” on the old screens? I’m set to Zero export>Load only so hopefully no impact. Will correct the CT coil and switch to HM load too. 3. When exporting once battery is full to non essentials - this is ONLY excess solar right? I.e. non essentials will not use battery. 4. My time of use functions are included below. I’ll tweak them a bit for loadshedding - however - what would happen if I changed the 35% to say - 50% in all lines that have 35%. And the Grid went off. Would the time of use settings mean that I couldn’t use my power if my batteries were down to 50%? Or does time of use get overridden when grid is shut down. Thanks - apologies if these have been asked elsewhere. Has anyone received the beta of the new data logger? Interested to know thoughts. Cheers and thanks in advance. Time of use: Fault codes - note grid was down when pic was taken. I suspect bad grid caused this but not sure why the inverter didn’t switch to the grid when the batteries hit 35%.
