No problem, I was in two minds on the 5000 to the 3000 as the 3.0kwh (95% dod) will only give me about 4 hours at night on a rough calc. Need to see real world , I am going to need to get two upfront. Just means I have to wait a bit longer. I was also doing work this weekend getting the DB more modern. I have a 1972 DB board with those old old DB switches that I started replacing some time back. I have so much space when I replace them as they are two wide and huge. The DB is looking really tidy and getting ready for a installer. Need to find one . How many do you need to be a Qauli?? One short isnt it? 😂 . Not counting the hundereds you have helped us online.

Hey there, I am ready to buy the Battery, Hubble has not impressed me reading on this forum the approach to problems, May I get some help on pylon batteries. I see other people are trying to get in on this mentor-ship thing but are they up to date with the mentor membership fees? Pylon is what I am going to get, I am considering what you have. The US3000c R17K (Whats different with the US3000B vs 3000C?, the B it is slightly more expensive) and the UPS5000 at 24k , only because in future it takes up less footprint per KWh. I read about your Price per KWh vs discharge rate. I belong to a company that could order from Sagen but the price we get as a small company puts someone like GAsolar in midrand better pricing on the same products.

Hey Mentor, where did you get your Batteries from.? Thanks man

Hey Andy, I am also busy with this nerve racking problem. What to buy, does it work for my house, Is it a good investment for the future etc. Vassen the mentor, "Qoute", Stay within spec of the equipment you are installing and using. Thats what I am following as its really good advise. I bought the 8kw Sunsynk so these would work there. Also I am thinking in a year or two we are at 550w to 600w per panal and then the 450w like I have will be really down in prices. Regards

How are things these days in Dainfern, I have only been there once for petrol at the sasol 😃. I never even heard of Sprag and checked with my Mentor Google who showed me Sprag. Then I saw litegrow, My fav electrical hangout sell that stuff in a metal sleeve. So i thought. Does the other mentor use this stuff, and sure enough, he does 🤣 > again I have learned something .

Thank our mentor of all things solar. I never understood the neutral requirements, and the earth bond would have been to the house and inverter. I keep asking more and more. Much appreciated. My solar panels DC wires are under the tile roof. Are you putting in steel trunking all the way to the inverter from the panels for these DC wires. You should give up your night job and do installations. You would be worth the money.😂😂. I saw somewhere you need a 3rd install. Have you got my address?

Thank you Vassen, I understand your local dealer fears. When I looked for a Inverter from a company I would look at the registration company date to make sure they are reputable. A online company that has 2020 registration selling solar has no guarantee track record. Will they be around in 5 years when you need them to help with warrantee claims. who are the importers of Pylontech or do they have South African presence. Did you see my Neutral line post?

Hey Vassen, thank you for your comments. I learned about the Can battery today. As I was not going to buy I had to use my other mentor (appart from you, that is) Google. Looking at just getting a battery because I understand now from you and meerkat the importance of a battery and how its used. I have one last question (My mentor google does not give a great explanation) So may I ask Vassen the mentor. Neutral line and earth line. I Know this is really a electrician question and thank you already for the answer. You have the neutral and earth at the substation bonded. On your DB they read zero N > E (mine does) If the electrician wires to the input of the inverter from the DB to inverter N > L > E. Do you bond all the earths. PV > GRid > Load. How do the neutrals work. I have read that some bond them all as well and only separate the Live. But I am suspecting thats highly dangerous. They did it as it trips the Main Circuit Earth Leakage if you dont. This is probably covered somewhere but while I have your ear. ....... Keep well

Tarig, Ohhh of course, Did not remember that. Thank you for updating

How about the two 102AH lead batteries I use in load shedding for my WiFi and Laptop. Working from home. Connect them until the DB is wired in the Day. batteries to buy? Hubble , Pylon , Dyness supported. I am not understanding the CAN terminology versus the other supported , (Something like 8 xxx) Hearing from Vassen the sooner the batteries the better. I dont know my usage as yet but 5kwh to start, Costs are always the limiting factor.

Hello Guys, Once again thank you for your replies so quickly, Vassen, you should be my installer with all that knowledge , May I ask about this comment @, If you are planning to add batteries later on, maybe look at finding some almost dead LA , what is a Almost dead LA? American? LOL 😀 Where do you get a dead LA? And Aahhh so the battery is needed to complete the Solar to Load start voltage during the day if no grid.

Hi, Reading with interest, I bought my first solar PV geyserwise system about 3 three years ago, The early days they gave lots of problems on the MPPT, Just to explain the kit, Its PV panals to a MPPT to a Element they supply with 2kw AC and 900w DC in the same element.All this controlled by the Geyserwise controller A year ago I bought the 2nd Kit (have 2 Geysers) Many pro for and few against going this VS The solar Tubes. Winter temp set to 55 and its very hot, Summer set to 45 and its very hot (red skin) Have to change your habits a bit and shower / Bath reducing the water temp and let the sun catch back up to temp (Morning mostly),if by 5pm you have cold water its back to Eskom. But that goes for all the Sun heated systems. I have this month Bought the Sunsynk after learning the benifits of PV on the Geysers and of course the Eskom Saga is a must to have another a solar system.

Good Morning, I had bought the 8kw Sunsynk, and now have 12 x 450w LG panels installed in 2 x 6. I have to connect this to my DB board but would like a qualified installer / electrician to install. I have done all the groundwork of putting on the wall , adding trunking from the DB to Sunsynk. Its in my couryard about 6meters away. My DB is three (3) phase but I only want to install single and move the essencial circuits and the backfeed to one of the phases. I was hoping to use the system during he day without batteries or grid but I saw Vassen or Achmed (thank you for all your informative Posts) say if no batterys , no working on just solar standalone. 2nd Question. Batteries I dont have and seems I need to start if I want to power the load while I get the DB re-wired (no Power for a day). I am in Olivedale Randburg area. Would probably need a approved installer with Electrisian quali to certify. Thanks , forgive me if its in the wrong post as I joined this week. Ryan
