Change the “sparkie”.

Yes.
The amount being drawn at the time. The inverter cannot determine spare availability. Ideally you should set this just below your house "idle" load.
No.

When you have "On Grid Always On" the "Power" and Battery % settings are ignored. With "On Grid Always On" switched OFF, then if the PV produces above the "Power" setting and the battery is between the specified %, the Smart Load Switches ON.

I know, the BMS will provide the value but the above screen indicates, it's 110Ah and not 100Ah battery.

The price per W is higher with the 460W panels. And if you calculate the VoC per string, you cannot connect 10x460W in one string on Deye 5kW. You can put max 9 x 460W = 4140W vs 8 x 550W  = 4400W. Better wattage per string for cloudy days. And less mounting hardware and cost for 8 vs 9 panels. 

The inverter, not the battery dictates the sizing of the wire and fuses.

You can get the Onesto brand for half that price.

If they have been installed in a vehicle and that same vehicle has been certified in crash testing, there shouldn’t be much danger. Unless you maybe know something more than the vehicle’s certification authorities.
 
I’m sorry but I’m still yet to see any danger from these NMC chemistry batteries, despite all the warnings from “Internet experts”. 
 
My Hubble NMC battery is happily working for 3 years now and no issues. There are thousands of NMC batteries installed all over Sourh Africa. Please point me to one dangerous incident with a verifiable report than the NMC chemistry alone is to blame for the incident . (Please no links to YouTube videos). Google is your friend.

You’ve got that wrong. You need to do a bit of research to understand the efficiency and rated watts. 

One can always add a changeover switch to the geyser input. This will allow you to change the supply manually from essentials to non-essentials on overcast days and have much more control over it. 

I have been testing out lower than normal voltage for over 6 months now and I don’t see any negative effects. In fact, according to my research, most of the appliances should be better and last longer at lower voltage. I set my SunSynk at 200V output in island mode. No problems with any appliances so far and the geyser runs at about 2.6kW with the 3kW element, which give me more room for extra load during loadshedding without overloading the inverter.

I'm waiting for Andy's and Will Prowse's reviews 🙂

Eskom just announced stage 6 as Black Friday special 😂

What are the cycles of LBSA at 0.2C? 
Not published…
They state 4500 cycles at 0.5C. 
 
What are the cycles of SVolt at 0.5C? 
Not published…
 
But at the end of the day, if both manage 3000 cycles (approximately 10 years) and after that they still retain 80% capacity, that’s good enough. After 10 years we are all going to be changing batteries anyway… for one or another reason.
What actually is more important these days - the quality of the build and manufacturer support if something goes wrong prematurely.
But if you are buying one of these batteries, you should understand that you have a higher chance of something going wrong with the battery or it’s support, compared to FreedomWon for example.

If you do a search around there is a thread which explains AUX operation in detail.

Incorrect. AUX is part of the essential load and it is works during load shedding.
