  1. Are these still available ?
  2. Pv Production for the day +/- 33kWh I have a Dewhot 16 CT Gas geyser installed for the bathrooms. The CT (Constant temperature) range geysers adjust the flame to output a set temp on the digital display. So if warmer water enters the geyser the flame adjust accordingly and uses less gas. The Electric geyser will be installed with a solar valve. The solar valve diverts water to the gas geyser if the temperature drops below 45 Deg and bypass the gas geyser if above 45 Deg. You can adjust the temp setting by 5 deg. Electric geyser will be set on 65 Deg, Hopefully on nice sunny days no gas will be used.
  3. @AC-DC AVG production is around 22 kWh per day, soon to go up, will be adding a 150 liter geyser (3kw) to preheat water for the gas geysers and heat-pump for the pool. Over some weekends we do manage to reached 50 kWh per day with the kids using the aircons. Battery charge is set to 180A on Inverter so each batt can take 60A
  4. Yes a very good friend of mine that i am currently working with.
  5. Very neat install, Yup 16mm2 are a challenge but somebody has to do it ☝🏼
  6. I agree SunSynk’s way better than some of the other more expensive “blue” units 😉
  7. Just a cover for all the Surfix cables entering the DB
  8. Yup same here after the upgrade, lovely to have them working as they should !!
  9. Bought from a Electroware in Vereeniging.
  10. Obo trunking available in 2m only paid +/- R600 per length, 90 Corners +/- R140 and T-joint +/- R140
  11. So my system been running for a few months now and the amount of power we have available is just beyond my expectations. Decided to add another Hubble for a total capacity of 15 kWh with an average of 35% SOC in the morning. Prepaid meter been standing still for 2 months even with all the cloudy / rainy days we managed to not use the grid. SHOULD HAVE GONE TO SOLAR YEARS AGO !!!
  12. Hey Brett, sorry for the late reply been busy with a couple of other installations. Bought from my local electrical supplier it is called OBO Trunking from o-line.co.za Makes for a neat installation but have to warn you it is expensive.
  13. Make me a offer......
  14. Currently used as a big ass UPS. Weather is a problem as i want to paint my roof before i install the panels.
  15. Thankyou for the compliment TimCam. Brackets will cost me just over half of that to cut and bend, but will only have official price once they go to the Galvanizers. Hope to sell them for +/- R80 each. Made from 4mm plate and no welding.
  16. Time to relax, waiting patiently for Hubble/PFstore to supply me my batteries and Keto 1 disconnect switch. Rail mounting brackets almost ready to be plasma cut and send for Galvanizing. May you all enjoy the festive season and keep the sunny side up.......
  17. Wiring done, 16mm2 was a challenge in the 8 way DB's Must say the OBO trunking are nice to work with 👌🏿
  18. Sounds about right should last about double that as it will be out of the sun ☀️
  19. Stainless must be containing a tiny amount of gold these days, R289 excl / bracket just for laser cutting. Hot-Dip Galv will be good enough inland and works out way less than 304. If it rains again today, I will have plenty of time to start on what i love, the wiring.
  20. System: 16X Canadian Solar 540w Panels 1x SunSynk 8Kw 2x Hubble Am-2's 1x Keto 1 with 200A fuses 1x N/E Bonding DB 70mm2 Batt Cables (Still need a decent Busbar) looking @ DIY Items was ordered and most has arrived, waiting for the battery's and Keto 1 Disconnect. Installed the Trunking and DB's yesterday. Will start wiring over the weekend as the panel brackets will only be back from Galvanizers in January.
  21. Thanks TimCam, 304 s/steel prices have gone through the roof lately but will most likely work out the same price as the galvanized units.
  22. So after ALLOT of thinking and pondering the time has come to stop my laziness and do my own solar setup with the help of a friend "Marius" an Electrical Engineer from VUT. Marius will be doing 90% of the wiring and commissioning. Runs his own Solar business over weekends. Main equipment list: 16x Canadian Solar 540w Hiku6 Mono PERC Panels. (8 Per string in Series) 1 String facing NE 1 String facing NNW 1x SunSynk 8kw Inverter 2x Hubble AM-2 5.5KWh + Cloudlink Busy Designing the stainless (304) roof Brackets for the Renusol Rails as i have my own cnc plasma Cutter and 60 ton 2.5m press brake. Let the Fun begin.....
  23. So it is time for our house to be rewired, still have open wire on ceramic blocks,the copper starting to turn black with a acid type residue. I would like to move the DB board to the garage as its currently in the passage way. Can any of you give me a type of diagram/explanation for a proper split (essential and non essential loads) DB board setup from the prepaid meter for a Goodwe GW5048D-ES inverter just to get a better understanding how the setup works for this hybrid inverter. The sparky and i have a mutual understanding that i will buy and install all the hardware like DB boxes,breakers,wire and conduit. He will do the wire connections,testing and COC.
