The wheel is turning. How long then most will be off grid that can afford it. The rest will have free power via illegal connections. Bankrupt South African municipality wants homes with sola...The Gauteng municipality wants residential solar power users to pay a monthly fee of R463, on top of a once-off application charge of R2,400.

@TaliaB improved to be moved to a general ward. He might be discharged today depending on further improvement.

Some great answers to the way forward. Without knowing your location the current system can generated a average of 13kWh per day in Gauteng from PV. It would then depend what the power requirements are for the sons pc to get through the night. One can get a system that caters for the end state. I did not and got a grid tied system without batteries when I started. Only save the day time grid power and at night used grid. Then came a 3kw with battery system to take me through LS. The grid tied paid for itself in 3 yrs. The lastly I git a 48V 5kw Deye. I am still using the 24V batteries in series to the Deye. No wasted capital. Equipment can be reused without dumping if you ask around how to do it. My 3kw 24V I still have and is a back up for essential loads should my 48V 5kW give up the ghost. Just need to rewire the batteries and some load circuits. Just my different approach using less capital and a good ROI.

@TaliaB is still in high care and sedated while getting some rest. He breathes normally and DR would like his oxygen level to pick up to over 94%.

Supply the model of the inverter and as the picture of the specs on the side is not clear enough to read.

Just an update just received. He has recovered in such a way that he is out of ICU and in the high care ward. He looks better and can eat without help. Still awaiting results of the latest blood tests. Great to see he is on the recovery path. 🙏

Did you perhaps try another WiFi connection? A known problem is that phone hot spots do cause a lot of nightmares as they disconnect without reconnecting. My experience not just on inverters but also on other smart devices.

The latest is they intent fitting a filter in the largest vein in the body to catch the blood clots before they get to the lungs. This should happen tonight. This is after consulting a specialist in PTA. Will keep you guys informed. 🙏🙏

Just a update. He went through a Pulmonary Thromboendarterectomy. He got some of his colour back but still in ICU. He is now off from ECMO but still on high flow oxygen. We will keep him in our thoughts. 🙏🙏

This was spot on what I tried to answer in my 1st reply on the question what is going on here. I used the 12min period from 13h00 on 16/05 to go from 51% to 100% for a 40kWh battery from a PV input of around 2200W is impossible. Your 1min period is even more impossible. Seems we were on the same page. We all hope the firmware upgrade will solve the problem in SOC reporting.

Will share as soon as his wife gives me an update. They are stil waiting for news at the hospital.

After good replies @TaliaB has been admitted to Netcare. See my post under GENERAL for details.

Sad news that @TaliaB has been admitted to the Christian Barnard Netcare with Pulmonary Embolism. He was fine earlier in the day. He has been put on Echmo. Please keep him in your thoughts. 🙏🙏

Provide the details. Area, Price, number of cycles are important.

Your non essential can indeed be powered from the battery. Key is to reduce the load level in your timer setting for certain times. PV is routed to the non essential side that is the major plus of a hybrid. If you don't want to export to grid it will thus power your high loads like geyser and if there is a short fall this bit would come from grid if you have grid. This can only happen if you have a grid supply. Non essential cannot be supplied if the grid is off. Different sizes and makes and models of batteries can normally not talk to each other that's why one would stick to sizes and models. Deye/Solis and Sunsynk are great units to have.
