So I did some googling Tons of reviews and unfortunately not many good ones. Batteries catching fire, starting to degrade after 1 year, not making it to 5 years, very poor warranty service. Maybe price reflects quality I don't know. Also I noticed that they weigh twice as much as a Sunsynk 10kw battery so not sure what cells they are using. I would have taken this battery in a heart beat but somehow I'm not convinced.

?

On your proposed mppt 1 the inverter will limit the current to 22A

So panels should have an earth spike and not connected to the house earth?

There is shade at night😂

Very nice. I have a question. Why is that bettery so cheap? Are they 2nd life cells?

I think the CATL batteries are 5.12. BYD looks like 5.32kwh

I found this good video explaining bonding.

Thanks. I don't think I see signatures when using a phone browser. Are you just switching off your mains breaker when you don't need it?

Nice looking graphs. What is your PV Watts installed and what batteries are you using?

Have your CT wires been lengthened?

It is rather odd. I think if you had non-essential load it could show. Do you not maybe need a firmware update?

Your battery is charging at 700 Watts and your load is 1878 Watts. PV is supplying 2163 Watts so the difference comes from the grid.

Only problem is there is more chance of wind damage.

I'm thinking of doing my own frame like this also. 6 panels on their side to minimise height and making the frame inclination adjustable between 30 and 50 degrees for summer and winter.

How are you connecting the dyne to the solarman app? Standard WiFi dongle?

Are you allowed to install inverter and lithium batteries inside your living space?

It's obviously better to put the panels on their side then if you can right? Will require less spacing?

I have a few questions on conduit for DC cables. 1. Must conduit be metal or plastic? 2. Do you need to use conduit in ceiling spaces? 3. Can you use plastic trunking instead of conduit for interior surface cables?

OK so what's the answer to the original question? I would also like to know this answer as it's probably the combination of components I'm going to start with.

I was about to say this. You are probably feeding back and been charged as if it was usage.

Where did you order from and is it the new BYD battery?

5kw until batteries are flat. Best thing you can do is as follows 2x 1C batteries or 3x 0.5 batteries. Discuss that with your customer if he wants 5kw in UPS mode.

🤦‍♂️To whoever wants to run their inverter at max continually off of batteries

Yes and the sunsynk battery BMS will go over 50A if needed.
